Nice review Martin and welcome from another newcomer. I live in the east bay and am kicking myself for not making that show. Well if it does come out on disc at least i have an idea what will be on it. Thanks for taking the time to post!

Sorry for the delay in posting but here it is.
Went regrettably only Thursday night. Great venue. Seen Derrek Trucks there so we kind'a knew what to expect. Was pleasantly surprised when we entered and seen tables and chairs on the floor!!!! My back and knees jumped for joy!!!! Sat at the table to the left of "red suede" like second row right of center stage.
Sound was killer. What struck me was the "detail" of the sound. All inst. mixed perfectly. No one was left out. Both sets were great. I personally liked the second set a touch better with the addition of Neil Evans. The interplay with Neil and Robben was fantastic. I have also seen Robben many times, in different venues and with different players. This show rates up in my top 5 of all time. Robben really "pushed" it, taking chances with the solos and going all out. Also noticed a change in the setlist . Adding many "newer" tunes and dropping some of my "old Blueline" favorites. Guess that's just a sign of the times. On the other hand it was nice to hear something different, and I guess he can't play everything or we would have been there all night...so what...lol.
Nice to get a chance to say hi to Daved and Pat. Both were friendly, as usual, and excited about the shows.
Only regret was, we only went Thursday. Thanx Robben, we had a great time, guess he didn't need to ask us!!!!

TOTALLY amazing, rapturous night. I didn't expect seats, told the wife, who said, nothanks.. I went solo, and was pleasantly surprised to see tables & chairs out on the floor. I found a seat on the right side, near the booths against the wall, but on the floor. Clear line of sight, and the sound like other reviewers mentioned, was just right. Clear, not distortion, just right volume.. The warmup band was very good, hope to see them again sometime. Set the mood just right for Robben & band's upcoming jams.. and jam they did, never fearing to take the extra measure, and playing each and every song just right. Really glad to see that show, hope the CD comes out soon..

peace
jam

Robben has mentioned to me that he is extremely pleased with the way the CD is coming along.
