This is a not to missed event!!! I didn't know much about them except from the old Jefferson days, But I was enlightened in such a way as to leave my mouth hanging open in awe. First off, the Idea that a mandolin takes the lead so offen left me astounded! who knew? Mr. Mitterhoff's use of this instrument has to be seen both acoustic and electrified! yes electic!!! WOW!!! Jack was so animated, jumping around like Chuck Berry, and the "who me? wha'd I do"act really fit him, He is one bass player that's never going to blend into the background. He and his Iconic bass show us what original musical thought is. (does anyone else think he looks like the dog, "Jim" on television's "Mike and Molly?) The subtle Tom and Jerry comedy act between him and Jorma hints at just how close these guys really are, they are an amazing duo. Mr. Jorma is a tallent not to be overlooked, the original chording and way he plays lead are refreshing considering how few notes there really are to pick from; it all sounds new and incredible to the ear, you will find you self saying, wait ,do that part again. He makes this look to easy! Skoota Warner on percusion will bring everything from jazz sounds to "Cream" in his own way. It obvious he knows just what he is doing, and they should do everything to keep him in the line up, great job!!! Mr. Lauderdale was a surprise for me. I didn't know of him at all, which is hard to believe onece you hear and see him. He is an overpowering figure, his style is new and refreshing. the way he plays is different form the everyday, the minor notes played and sung will get your attention, and although I liked the CD, you must see him in perosn to appreciate the full power of his voice, and the phrasing of his music. One member of the group who lived up to and surpassed his reputation was the legendary GE Smith, a guitar players, player or comander, as it seems any guitar is under his comand. I imagine he sits back stage levitating guitars before the shows. Really who else can do what he does? and he seems so ill at ease with it all? He is like a shy superman or I should say clark kent? he kinda fades back, coming forward only when he is asked to, and just impress the living crap out of you!!! I've seen him sing along with some one else on TV in the past, but he let himself get lost in the mix, But this night, I seen superman move a planet!!! He quietly came forward to the mike, said he was going to do a Sun House tune, and then unleashed the power in him. It was like watching an atominc bomb go off: This ain't your typical Sun House here, I may be a Hick, but I tell you, I seen the best that night! How one man can do all he does is just un-understandable? Look on the stage, it's Smitherman!!! I had no idea he could sing like this too? YOU MUST SEE THIS!!! it is an epic moment!!! You will see it, but not understand what happened to him to make this transformation happen, and at the same time it will change you forever, you will be different somehow? Of course now I have to burn all my guitars, as it would seem it has all been accomplished by GE so whats the point now? man, really? He can't be from this planet!!! THANK YOU GE. If you miss this show, you have no idea how poor you really are inside. One more thing here, we saw this show in Buffalo NY, at the university (UB) It is a shame this show and others are not made more known to the public so we can support it. they do the absolute minimum to get the word out, less than the minimum. who ever is in charge should be fired!!! not only have you robbed the public so far, but you make it financially impossible for other talent to return here. This show had three hundred people? These performers came back after being snowed out last week, and probably didn't even make fuel money, I am sure this was a loosing proposition for them. How long will you treat people like this? do you really think they will come here again? This is what makes Buffalo NY the sink hole it is today.
