Hector Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Well, this is one of those situations where someone complains about their diamond shoes being too tight, or their wallet being too small for the their money, but here goes: I've got tickets to see Tower of Power on Nov 21st, but have discovered that Esperanza Spalding is playing Ronnie's on the same night. Which should I go and see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 ToP. Much hipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Both - ES will play until 2 a.m.. ToP will probably finish earlier? Are they both London venues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Bass player's answer Esperanza if you're a jazz man and TOP if you fancy a funkier evening or as Bilbo says, try and get two gigs in. Shallow answer, put their pictures up side by side on your screen and choose the obvious. Sorry, but she is seriously fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cetera Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Just ask yourself "What is hip?!?" I think you'll find that the answer is 'Tower Of Power'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some very good looking women musicians around, but Esperanza? Are you guys [i]blind?[/i] Esperanza plays mean bass, but as she is belabouring under the misapprehension of her vocal work being comparable, my ticket money goes elsewhere.

nobodysprefect Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 inebriated addendum: I have known, albeit not carnally, shrews and dormice more attractive than ms. Spalding. Thankfully, the capacity to connect via a musical performance relies on factors not related to sexual attractiveness between functional members of homo sapiens and therefore the music of ms. Spalding may live on even should members of genus homo sapiens decline her advances come mating season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 To the original dilemma, I say if you can't do both then do ToP - because there will plenty of future chances to see ES but fewer to see ToP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobodysprefect Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 jaysis am I hung over or what. sat down for a pint with some friends yesterday and at about 11 o'clock we were right pissed. didn't stop for 3 more hours though. Maybe if you could persuade Espie to tie her hair into a pony tail? Besides, I think I won: someone seriously took the comparison of a lady in her sixties (has to be?) to a woman not 30. I mean... That should be a no contest, really. AND IT ISN'T! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Just to say, I ended up going to TOP and it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen. I'm still grinning ear to ear exactly 24 hours later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
