Pete's new group is awesome. Great players delivering a great set. We wish Pete all the best with his newest group. Pete sounds better than ever. I don't know how he does it, he just does.

I wish I could have gotten better shots. What I did get was a little too dark. Sorry guys, I tried.

You will be the first to know, Paulo.

They still get played a lot here in New York and very well remembered here. Now if we can get them in concert here!!!

I'm sure that can be arranged, Marv.

What sparked the new Congas w/bass drum set up? Looks like a dramatic change of direction.

Oh BTW......mitochondria!!!!!

[ralpht]

Total change, Chris. Not really unplugged, just different. Pete uses the bass drum to add bottom to the sound.Great sound and performance from some real pros.

You know about mitochondria?
