As promised: The Herbaliser live, opening for De La Soul at Jazz à la Villette. I would appreciate a bit of a comment. Enjoy it!

Hmm. Firstly I have to comment that flute part in first minute. It is quite cool. I especially like when that kind of jazzy build up changes and becomes slower and weaker. The whole solo reaches smooth tone. That's what I like about jazz - those unexpected tempo shift.
Now about 'Clap Your Hands'. I was expecting something strictly modern and - surprisingly you surprised me - it's quite traditional attitude to jazz. But of course there is that little modern stuff - scratching. Maybe I'm not a big fan of such things but in this song DJ's part are really funny and gives a lot of pleasure. Even 'solo' wasn't as boring as I expected it to be.
Of course the strongest advantage of the whole song is vocal. I do appreciate Jessica. Her voice is amazing. I'd love to hear her screaming or singing more agressive vocal parts.
As a guitarist I paid a lot of my attention to some guitars' licks. I also felt in love in bass - line. That groove was great.
Wind instruments and drums didn't astonish me on any way. Simple rhythm and easy licks. Nothing special. But it doesn't mean that the whole song is unlistenable. I enjoyed it ;)
While walking up and down the school corridor at your prom I wondered... will we - here in zdunska wola - EVER get a chance to have a party like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PgQJWLnKzU AND ENJOY IT. Palm Springs - The Do-Over - regular and free.
No. Because for most of peopl some demands must be granted. The most important is alcohol, especially in quantity which make them swaying and falling out. Different mentality. In clubs there must be always even a couple of people who launch a fight and the crowd which will apllaud them. Don't also expect that such people are minority. NO! Having fun on party is less attractive than having risk. Sad but true.
To be honest, personally I would never feel good on the party that video was on. Big crowd, lack of air, lot of sweat. Wouldn't it be nicer to feel the vibe of dense small pub wherein blues is all around and nameless guys are playing incredible things? One man's meat is another man's poison but sometimes it just makes me curious. How sharing emotions with people by musicians can be made in such different ways? Listening to the guitars weeping out of tune and swaying to the rhythm of hi tech modern turntables give people similar emotions and entertain a lot. It's a kind of magic.
Oh yes it would definitely be nicer to have a night out in one of many jazz clubs in Manhattan, NY or New Orleans where REAL people play for real audience. No MASK. I remember a gig in Lodz for as many as 200 people where Homo Twist played their blues. Quite spmoky a place to be honest. I pasted the link to show how good audience can feel the vibe of an artist (whatever the music, didn't mean the bouncing tits :)) - and it was a really small party (compare U2). Here's an example where audience came out of space (the ladies in front) and didn't quite catch anything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg-8Eunbk6Q&feature=related. Creativity makes diversity
