Ribot! As much as I absolutely loved the night before with Nels Cline, I
loved this 10 times more. I didn't know that was possible until I saw
the 1st set. The set seems like it may have been similar to the night before, as an idea, but then with Ribot they went in all kinds of different directions.
Chris has a
way of making the bass sound like a theremin. He uses a stick, perhaps a
drumstick, held vertically behind the strings at the base and the bow
in the same area of the strings. It sounds great.
Billy had all
the stuff he had the previous night: the aquasonic without water, basic
drumkit, table gongs, those shaky things I still haven't found out the
name for (not a shakere), a tambourine and this night he also had some
kind of tribal whistle. I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
John had most or all of his various keyboards. He sounded great.
It was phenomenal.
