Wow. Is what I have to say about that.
My first ACL show was Them Crooked Vultures, featuring none other than Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, and…John Paul Jones.
You know. Some lightweights.(TOTALLY kidding.)
OK, I know I’m behind, but when I heard about this set, I didn’t realize JPJ was a part of it- si went simply for the Grohl/Homme factor.
But as TCV rocked it, I kept thinking, “Man, their bass player is REALLY AMAZING!”
Yes, Lindsay. Maybe because he was in LED ZEPPLIN?
They’re touring after ACL, if they’re near you, RUN. It’s really fun to watch musicians at the top of their game just playing, and obviously enjoying themselves.
I’ve read some reviews saying they could gel more, but from what I saw, they’re close to hard-set, with just enough jiggle for a super-funky groove and tempo changes that I found it difficult to predict- something I appreciate after all these years of tuning into a bassline first. (It’s how I’m wired.)
More complete wrap-up to follow, with KOL coverage, (read: Caleb swoonage- I’m such a girl)
But here’s some pics from Them Crooked Vultures Day 1 ACL set:
