Day One of the Abstract Logix New Universe Music Festival was unreal. Every single player was in top form. I'm so glad they are filming this; there were some amazing moments that just need to be seen. Alex Machacek's killer solos; Wayne Krantz sitting in with Ranjit Barot and Human Element; Herring's intense, emotional playing - particularly on "New Moon" and "Since I've Been Loving You"; the incredible Neal Fountain and Jeff Sipe pullng double-duty with Machacek and Herring. Great stuff. I can't wait for the DVD! It was great meeting some of my favorite players as well. Krantz in particular was super-cool. Check the link below for a sampling of my Day One pics. Day Two tonight!
