Burnt Friedman was great playing a gig here this June - though he was
assisted by Josef Suchy (I think) and Jaki Liebezeit, he played keyboard
(though it was attached to a Powerbook... :), twiddled a few knobs now
and then and also played harmonica a few times throughout the gig.
I do admit that I didn't as much watch them as dance my ass off, but
they really had the crowd cheer both in the middle and after each song
(only one of which I recognized) and had to give 4 encores - they
improvised a 4th one after they admitted that they ran out of material
after the 3rd, and it was still great... *g*
Oh, and another live show you probably don't want to miss (even though
I'm not sure there's a laptop involved) would be Jimi Tenor.
