Robben Ford Discussion

[Larry Legs]

I saw Robben and his band in concert yesterday evening in L'Aquila, in a wonderful scenery (an ancient square surrounded by 99 fountains).

It's been the second time for me at a Robben Ford concert, the first as a leader (the other last year with Larry Carlton).

Three positive aspects:
- beautiful concert (with lesser jazzy and more bluesy and rockish sound, maybe due to the context, it was a blues festival), with good solos from Robben and Anastios and especially from Travis, a bass player that drives me crazy;
- Robben very patient and willing at the end of the concert when he has signed autographs to many fans;
- Robben has spoken in italian all the evening, a very appreciated respect for the country where he was playing and where he has many fans (thanks, Robben!);

and two negative:
- the concert has lasted just one hour and 15 minutes, plus other 5 minutes in the encore;
- Robben has strangely forbidden not only video filming but also photographs (last year no prohibition, I shot splendid photos of the concert of Robben and Larry).

Below, three photos: the only one I shot of the concert, without flash during the encore (Robben will forgive me...); Robben signing autographs and Robben's autograph.

Thank you man . Just stick with it , the longer i've seen Robben plays is 1hour 40 with the encore .
Now i won't make any comment about pics , i don't do photos.
But i know it distracts from really enjoying the music.
So see you

the wonderful city of L'Aquila has been destroyed by an earthquake last monday with nearly three hundred people dead
