watching Hot Tuna do the thing they've been doing for 45 years (or more) together, and what a musical bond Jorma Kaukonen & Jack Cassidy have. But as the Bonnaroo-ers frequently yelled out, "If you don't know Jorma, YOU don't know Jack! To think they were likely doing the same thing (playing in front of a large number of people) 40 years ago right know at Monterey Pop. They put on a low-key show that was a nice change of pace from the high energy grooves going on well into the night yesterday. I also caught a little of Regina Spektor. She was hold the gathered thousands (20,000 perhaps?) captive by her voice and keyboard playing. When I saw her, she was solo on stage. Boy, that takes guts to be up their all alone.
I'm going to catch another shower if I can and prepare myself for a intense, long evening of music. Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, The Police, and then The Flaming Lips. Oh yeah, here is a link to mini-movie of Hot Tuna in action:
