Saw that a few people weren't so impressed with Stevie's performance at Glastonbury. Check out this cover of Chick Corea's Spain on his tour in London a year or so back. His band are so, so good... the Trumpet/Sax/Drums and guitar are out of this world.

Absolutely brilliant! I'm seriously looking for this to buy on DVD.

I enjoyed his Glastonbury set, but I really didn't like his rendition of
Spain. I just couldn't feel it. It's one of my favouite tunes,and was looking forward to hearing him do,but I was really disappointed.
I've got an awesome version of it by Chick Corea's Akoustic Band with
Weckl and Patitucci,and it has so much more energy,feel,fun and balls than Stevie's version-with just piano,upright and drums.

Fair enough! There's no knocking Patitucci with Corea (although I can't stand Dave Weckl's drumming). Love Stevie's version all the same, I think it kicks hard.

Al Jarreau, with Steve Gadd, Ready Freddie Washington on Bass, Joe Sample + others.
Lots of energy.

Very cool, Freddie's still one of my favourite players.
