I'm really interested in seeing Bar Kokhba and the electric Masada stuff, but I'm sure it'll all be interesting

 

[xfer]

the masada stuff is what interests me the most, but that's 'cause i don't know half the other things.

 

[avi]

I've seen Masada probably almost a dozen times and they're always amazing, nomatter what the lineup.

the best I've seen was when they did a week at this small cafe in SF, two shows a night. Kenny Wolleson played drums and Trevor Dunn was on bass and it was the only amplified instrument. totally amazing.

 

[FuSoYa]

Trevor Dunn is still playing with them, I believe.

 

[avi]

not Greg Cohen?


he's a better bassist IMO

 

[FuSoYa]

Yeah they just did a European tour over the last 2 weeks - Electric masada w/Trevor Dunn playing.

 

[avi]

ah, I didn't read the full lineup for those shows, but I was aware of em.

not to diss on Dunn of course - he's still mighty talented. Cohen is simply a better soloist.
