thumbo Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Did anyone catch Spin Doctors on their recent tour? I saw them in Leeds at the Brudenell, which was quite odd as they're clearly used to playing much bigger stages. This wasn't my choice of gig, my girlfriend bought tickets and forced me to go (with violence). I'm glad I went, seeing Mark White and the drummer (name?) was great, Mark seems to have an effortless sense of groove and as a rhythm section they absolutely nailed it. His bass sound was awesome and it looked like he was running a very simple setup of some kind of custom red and white jazz bass into hartke rig, there may have been an octave pedal hidden on top of his amp that he used in a couple of tracks but I couldn't see.

Barefootbassplayer Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Damn it!!!! I had no idea they were touring as would have loved to have seen them. Awesome band with some sublime bass playing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Great band. I wasn't able to see them this time, but I saw their last tour where they played the entire 'Pocketful of Kryptonite' album at Band on the Wall in Manchester. Mark White was usjng his pink Jazz then and wasn't using any effects. He's got a great left hand technique-pretty much double thumbs everything.Very Wooten-esque (Check out his solo on 'Refrigerator Car' from the 'Homebelly Groove' album). Aaron Comess is the drummer.

[/quote] I'm not sure who the promotor is, but they toured in '11 for the 20th anniversary of 'Pocketful of Kryptonite' and they played the whole album including the UK bonus tracks.There is a video on YouTube of them doing 'Two Princes' at Band on the Wall. One of the best bands I've seen live. (Got a signed set list too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
