Snarky Puppy live recording from their show on May 26, 2017 at Bodensee in Friedrichaefn, Germany.
FROM MICHAEL LEAGUE:
Playing in the home of Zeppelin! Well, the actual zeppelin. A beautiful theatre on the Bodensee, with the Swiss alps right across the water. This set saw things go to deeper and darker places than normal, especially in Gemini and Binky, my two favorites of the night. Justin’s on fire the whole evening. Beep Box starts things off eerily. Zach takes a violin solo over the outro. GØ is at a nice tempo. Bullock takes the first solo and Justin takes the last one on Moog, with a bass solo in the middle. My favorite version of Gemini thus far this tour. Great tempo and a beautiful Moog solo by Bobby. Semente gets kind of funky during Justin’s Rhodes solo. Binky merges out of the outro with a percussive bass introduction. Bullock takes an effected tenor solo and Maz gets rhythmic with Larnell on flugelhorn. The outro goes Bob James and simmers for a while. The groove feels good. Zach takes a solo. It finally dissolves. Nate brings in Tio Macaco. Bobby takes his time on Sleeper. A relatively brief version of Shofukan (with a trumpet solo from Justin) closes out the night.
