Re: Royal Southern Brotherhood

Thanks for sharing your recent vids, Lee.

They are playing a very intimate venue in Evanston, Illinois (Space), in September.  Been considering buying tix, but my social calendar is just crammed that month.  I may have to shoehorn that date in somehow.  Haven't caught them, yet.

Play like you've worked at it, and don't worry about sounding like your influences.  You can't cheat on them, or your practice, anyway.  If you've worked hard at your skill, your audience will know it.

( i'll get you back ) and thanks for a great night out watching 5 fabulous musicians! ...the older i get the funkier i seem to be getting,should i worry about this?

Re: Royal Southern Brotherhood

Haha lol So glad you enjoyed it and why wouldn't you? This was definietly one of the year's highlights for me. It was an absolutely superb gig, being bluesy, funky, rocking, soulfull and above all tight as the proverbial duck's wotsit and very melodic. They are five very accomplished musicians and as Eva said to Devon Allman in Germany, "this is what a supergroup should sound like".

Eschewing a setlist, the band played almost the whole of their new CD plus the Allman's One Way Out with Mike Zito playing some superb slide, Pearl River, the first song Mike wrote with singer and percussionist Cyril Neville, a track called Time Machine from Devon Allman's CD coming out next year and one of my favourite Stones songs, Gimme Shelter.

If I get time I'll add to this but for the moment I'll just say that if you get the chance to see RSB, YOU MUST! As Kenny said at the end of the show, "What a gig! That alone was worth the trip from Aberdeen." smile

Thanks for the upload, Pete. I can't see it from my work pc but hope to catch it at the weekend. I just hope my enthusiasm wasn't caught on the soundtrack. yikes  Thanks again for being my private chauffer which more than covers the tkt and CD.

Re: Royal Southern Brotherhood

The tour ends Sunday in the UK, let's hope they keep this funky thang rollin' and don't go their seperate ways. Can't see why they would as this band was one of the hottest live acts touring this past year! Another album would be sweet with another tour after they catch their breath.

                                                                                              Mo' RSB!!!

As Pete hasn't added the links I hope he doesn't mind if I do it for him. RSB are too good to miss. smile

Re: Royal Southern Brotherhood

I was at the Kendal gig on Saturday night and have to agree with the comments above. Sensational doesn't even begin to describe RSB live!

Re: Royal Southern Brotherhood

Seen them two weeks ago on "Rockpalast" (german TV-Show).
Great band! It´s rare to have 3 so different Singer/frontmen with such a organic sound!
They found each other, because they should!

Thanks for that Pete.  So glad Wooders dragged you kicking and screaming to get a taste of "my" Louisiana music.  As for getting funkier with age, I think that's wonderful! wink

I've seen him a few times with the Allmans and he does indeed have had the passed genes handed down
