i’ve seen him at least 10 times live and always amazed!
my only regret is seeing him post-burning water/huge rack era.Indeed, he's up there
That old CAE controller labeling is a legend in itself too
. Gotta dig it up
sounds like a sick gig you saw! SH is killer but even he would defer to ML as the man.Got to see him with Scott Henderson at La Ve Lee, back in the day, when Scott was a fixture there and routinely had awesome guests. Might even have footage of that show
Scott is my fav all time player. And ofc they were insane together. But Landau is a master! His feel, distinct voice, clever and interesting phrasing and note choice etc, but maybe mostly the way he builds tension and guides to climax like telling a great story. Few can do it as well
,, can't believe I left that part out . U are absolutely right. HRD + pedals is as basic bich as it gets,, but magic under his fingers
Weyl shit, while we're at it He also writes cool ass fun tunes. My fav:
the ultimate would be interviewing bradshaw, landau and luke in front of their rack rigs and talking through and demoing each piece, how they set and route the signals, including the story of how the tri stereo became a thing…Thought i was somehow logged back on to HRI for a minute!!! Wonder what a tri stereo chorus into a Larry sounds like
