Events like this make me wish there were subscriptions to virtual concerts. Imagine if several artists who share many of the same fans got together to broadcast their live shows. Subscriptions could be sold, on an annual basis, like satellite radio, and a different concert would be available for viewing each day. Nothing fancy, just a view of the stage, with sound equivalent to what I'd hear if I was there in person.

Maybe one of the satellite radio service providers is in the best position to market this type entertainment, once the artists band together and figure out the best way to film their shows. The artists need to band together and take the lead.

Sorry If I just drove this thread off the intended path... but some detours are worthwhile.

Yes, that's great news. I'll be on the lookout for Matt's tour this summer. Who are his "peeps" and how do I become one?

This is interesting

I can't even imagine what it will sound like ? !

I see they are posted to play the Blue Note NYC March 23-28.

I saw Bill Evans and Jon Herrington play with Warren Haynes' Govt Mule in December at the Beacon. I also saw Herrington play the ENTIRE Royal Scam album from start to finish last August at the Beacon. It was unbelievable. I think he played a different Steely Dan album each night of the run at the Beacon, but I only saw the Royal Scam show.

I want to hear Robben cut through wailing banjo and whining sax !

Got an email from the Schofield peeps that Matt's U.S tour will be in June!

"Plans for Matt's debut tour of the USA are progressing well. At the present time, Matt is scheduled to start in the second week of June in Northern California and route south to Texas. Leg 2 has him in Canada and the North east of the US. Leg 3 should see him heading into the heartlands of the USA before routing south again. Dates will start posting on Matt's web site later this month.

June is also scheduled for a Hal Leonard DVD release featuring Matt, which marks the first time this iconic American publisher has featured a British guitarist. Matt joins such well-known American guitarists as Joe Bonamassa, Budddy Guy, Robben Ford and Eric Johnson."

Woo hoo! Can't wait to see him live!

I recently discoverd that Robben is coming to Holland and I'm definately going. It's part of his Soulgrass meets blues tour with Saxophone player Bill Evans. I'm going anyhow/anyway but I am still wondering what kind of material will be played. Will it be only Bluegrass stuff/Bill Evans material or also some Robben Ford originals?

I'm curious, anyway, I can't wait 'til the third of June!!!!

Checked out the Tone Center website. Still no date announced for the release; the only mention of it at all is a "coming soon" blurb that lists the player's names and the band name.

Looked at Landau's MySpace page. There it says "New CD available in April on Tone Center Records."

On Amazon it's listed as an Import (at $24.99) and says "Available for Pre-order. This item will be released on Apr. 27, 2010." This suggests to me that it's being released elsewhere first, and no date for the US release has been put out there yet...

On your PC, double click on "My Computer" which should be on the desktop, then right click on the DVD unit, select open (and not play), you will have access to the root of the DVD, the pdf fil is either at the root or in directory.

i had a YouTube video of Robben doing 'Help the Poor' -- that picture at the top-left of this webpage may be from that show (although it was light outside when HTP is played) as he wearing all white and playing that cherry guitar.

also in the vid on tenor sax is Bob Malach.

on this particular vid, the song HTP starts with a wha guitar solo and later also has a bass solo.

HELP! i can't find that vid on YouTube anymore! anyone seen it and got a link?

TIA
