 Overwhelming and Powerful August 29, 2008
Written by gravityman
I downloaded this amazing performance while watching the (more like monitoring) the presidential related speeches.
It really struck me previewing these tracks how powerful a sincere and well crafted musical performance in the moment can be.
I was pointed to the DGM download site by a fellow drummer, and I am certainly glad he did.
I am perhaps not what one would consider a die hard fan, but I have listened to KC since the early 70s, and owned a few recordings.
At the age of 50, I cheer on all efforts by the musical giants from my era, and in this case, I feel even more excited.
This performance is staggering, brimming with energy, bristling with musical intensity, cooking with chemistry.
It pulled me in to remember forgotten tracks that I haven’t heard in over 20 years.
On a side note, and in the "spirit of goodwill" may I would say that if you are disappointed, or in any way critical of the performances of Pat Mastelotto and Gavin Harrison,then you need to sit down and listen, or play a drum kit yourself.
Dismissing these master drummers performance as simply a "groove and percussion part" is like calling a sunset over the Grand Canyon "fading light over some deep rocks".
Listen again, this is a controlled demolition of drumming.
Kudos to the rest of the band as well.
