Last night I went to go and see G.Love & Special Sauce play at the Irving Plaza, round the corner from work... they were FANTASTIC!
I've seen G.Love a couple of times when he's supported Jack Johnson, but seeing him do a full set on his own tour was great. The atmosphere at the gig was brilliant too, everyone was having so much fun.
Here's his version of 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover...
The bass player was incredible! The bass solos in 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover were soooooo good, and he played an upright for the majority of the songs, spinning it round, playing chords, doing all sorts of amazing solos... it was great.
They played for about two hours, doing lots of old stuff and some tracks of the latest album. The encore was another cover, this time with Kristy Lee (the support act), they did a Johnny Cash song...
It was a grrrrrreat night - so much fun and the band were so talented! I'd love to see them play again very soon.
