That's great Jack! I just wish it could have been me - but like Blobby, I have to stick with my Esprit for now.

I read about it on the Gear Page as well...it's a shame really...something was seriously wrong that night. Aside from being put on the local's stage, having his name misspelled (Robbin), and having issues with the sound man...

Robben is blazing on The Brother here. You can Haruhata better on this one, although he's still back in the mix.

Nice! Does anyone know when this is from?

Edit: I take that back, I hadn't finished the video yet. Towards the beginning I didn't think Haruhata had much in him, but I was pleasantly surprised! They're both absolutely burning in this video, love it!

It looks like a wonderful guitar! Catch me in a couple years when I'm not working a part time job at the local Chili's.

Side Notes:
1. That was MY very FIRST Robben Ford EXP. I have nothing else in which to base a P.O.V.
2. The performance transformed me to a higher demension plus his set left such a lasting impression that it still remains with me two weeks later.

Introductions :: MONTEREY BAY BLUES FEST

Attended the MBBF early A.M. on Saturday the 28Th of June to volunteer my services in exchange for free access (request denied-no volunteers needed) with my primary agenda being there to EXP Robben Ford- scheduled to perform the closing set @ 9:30 P.M. on the Garden Stage. Paid the $35 grounds entrance fee, waited in line for the gates to open @ 10:00 A.M.
Entered the Monterey Fair Grounds/Blues Mecca @ approximately 10:10 A.M. after security check & proceeded to fill-up ALL of my blues deprived senses for the next several hours with sights (too many fine women), sounds (too many performances to cover on three stages), arts/crafts (too much to collect), food (too many cuisines to sample), beverages (too many bars available).
By the time Robben's set arrived I was already on sensory OVER-load:
I WAS NUMB- in more ways than one! My ears were both ringing from the pounding of 11 hours of non-stop-high-volume-electronic-music! My blurry eyes were sore from trying to focus my camera lens upon the most attractive female photo opportunities- through the smoky haze of wildfires & ASH & BBQ grills & dust swirling...with my head & belly full of merlot, ganja, beans/rice/greens & cornbread!
Mr. Ford's performance was enhanced by so many attending the Garden Stage the theater overflowed to SRO. I finally stumbled upon an open space behind the bleachers along the ivy covered fence-row with a clear shot of stage right. A few fans in the front row were shooting images of the stage with their flash & blinding Robben- which caused him to become pissed-off enough to tell them to "cool it!" I don't know if that little incident had any direct effect upon his performance- but all of those heavenly harmony jam notes reverberating from Robben's guitar strings "Made My Day"!!!

Daved,
I was given the DVD by my 17 YO nephew for my Birthday. When it was released he saw it multiple times at the theatre. While out with his mother they saw it had been released on DVD and he insisted on getting it for me.

My brother had recomended it to me to see as well. His only comment had been the trippy part was his only dissapointment.

I know my nephew would of not gotten many of the historical references embeded in the plot so I'm inclined to think it was more the music and the story that he was taken by.

To me it was way beyond my expectations. Although I agree with my brother on the acid induced scenes I have to strongly disagree with you on the performances of the music. I thought the interpretations of the songs were modern, simplistic in a way that showcased the melodies and had me singing the songs for several days around the house much to my wife's displeasure. To me it is extremely hard to cover a Beatles song the last season of AI contestants proved that, but every song performed in the movie seemed fresh and enjoyable.

A thumbs up from me.
