Topic: Experience Hendrix - St. Louis

Hey guys! Had a great time at the Experience Hendrix concert! We parked right across the street from the tour buses and didn't realize it until we got out of the car, and saw a small group of people hanging around, then saw the buses, so naturally we joined the group smile I got a chance to get a picture and talk for a few seconds with Noah Hart (Singer for Kenny Wayne Shepherd). There was also this guy in the group we were in who was almost like a leader of this group. After Noah left, he said to my mom and I "If you saw these guys on the street, you'd *never* even know who they were!" It turns out he was PLAYING that night as a drummer and none of us out there realized it. From a group called "Living Color". I had a really good laugh at that when I saw him behind the drumkit big_smile The show was awesome, and everybody was great, but Chris Layton was a real unsung hero, and probably the hardest working there! He played almost every song, except 2, intensely. I guess to have been SRV's drummer, he needed to do that  wink After the show, we went down to the merchandise table to get a shirt, and BILLY COX WAS THERE! I got a print of him and Jimi signed, along with my ticket stub. Then I went and bought a T-shirt, and waited for virtually *everybody* to leave except for 10 or so people around Billy, and got my picture with him and shook hands! Really cool guy!
Lol, had a great time, and needed to share in the fun, and where else to go but my bonabuddies? smile

Very nice Brandon. I think it is cool that this tribute is touring. A friend went to the one in L.A. and came back raving about how much fun it was. Nice report, thanks.

Re: Experience Hendrix - St. Louis

I was at the Milwaukee show last night. Blown Away!!!!!!!!!!!!! Satriani was fantastic! KWS was fantastic! The suprise of the night was Living Color - what talent and energy!

When I was a child I spoke as a child, But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
Now growing up it ain't anything but all This indecision with these debts and doubts
And worries hanging over my head. When I was a child I spoke as a child,
I wish I could remember what I said.

Re: Experience Hendrix - St. Louis

That's awesome that you did get to meet all those guys!!!  I'm so happy for you.  You will be able to look back at this many years from now and say that you got to meet one of the real legends of rock n roll.  Glad you had a blast!!!
