All three performers were hometown heroes. Willie
went on first, with a nice, prowling acoustic guitar piece. It travelled
through hill and dale, sure, but at the end you felt like you had
gone somewhere. He followed up with an electric number of similar
height and weight. I especially liked the lower-end business. It
sounded true.
Next up were MV and EE. This was one of the better sets I've seen
them play. Certainly in another realm, where fanstasy gypsies and
muffinboys run wild. Out of it all, one strains to seek meaning
and portent, yet the magic is not hard to feel.
Dredd Foole rounded out the night with his first(?) set without
any amplification whatsoever. It sounded beautiful. He ran through
his now famous gamut of songs, decorated with plenty of vocal pleasantries.
Again, one of the best performances I've seen from this man. |
