Wow ...Marion Meadows was great.
Norman Brown stole the show...he reminded me of the kool cats in the 50's and 60's.
Stanley came up short. Albeit, he gave the spotlight to others, people came to see Stanley play. Bongos are nice, as other instruments, but he has been moving away these past years, of himself playing less and less. Stand up bass is great. But he has forgotten his roots that made him what he is today, and not giving the audience that what made him great. People I talked to after the show agreed in the disappointment. Lets face it, we came to see Stanley Clarke play electric bass, that's' why we paid for the expensive tickets. And I am a huge fan since seeing him in Detroit since 1978.
But it was nice hearing Wild Dog tribute to George Duke! Help us Stanley! Next time in Detroit, play for us like your album: I Wanna Play For You!
