Michael Schornbaum
A new invention, a new style to play a guitar, unbelievable.
Not things like a “one man band” oder beats together with playing the guitar.
No. That’s life. That’s from the origin of music, very deep sounds, a combination of very old and deep music/sounds combined with modern thinking and technology.
That’s a beautiful symbiosis.
What amount of creativity you must have to create such action not only with your guitar skills but within in your head, incredible.
That’s what we need. A deep music that reminds us who we are, where we came from and of the very beginning.
Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

there's no need for copyright, literally noone else can play like this
Peter Berkow
We recorded several versions of this song over three days, in front of different audiences. THIS was the one where the feedback and guitar interaction came out just perfectly.

And just out of curiosity, was this the exact same version featured on CD from this event? Live from Center Stage? It doesn`t seem that way from my opinion. Is there a high-end version of this recording please?
Neil MacDonald
This is definitely the gnarliest version I've seen of this, well done

Saw him do this at BB King's Blues Bar & Grill in NYC (sad that it no longer exists). It sounded as close to this version as can be. Only problem he had was at the very end when the knob on his guitar equalizer came off. Got a big laugh from him and the audience. Lol. Just so amazing.

Saw him play this at Kendal arts centre around the time of the only album and this just teleported me into the outback. What exactly he was incorporating into the performance I'm not sure but never mind the blues going back to africa this just cut out the middle man entirely. In theTop 5 of my favourite live performances ever.
Christopher Thorpe
What tuning does he start with? This is celestial, ethereal, other worldly!!
Hammy135
I’ll never forget hearing this live, there’s nothing like it. Gave me chills. Like a powerful thunderstorm in the arena. Pure emotion and mesmerizing.
Ronald H
So true. I took friends who had never seen or heard of him until I brought them to one of his shows. Their 1st experience was seeing him live. Their jaws dropped the whole show... when he did Initiation, they fell off.
Stu KE
Me too. Didnt see this particular performance, but witnessing this live for the first time, so loud and evocative, it remains one of the greatest things I have seen or heard.
