Caught these guys last night. Was a very fun! Each guy did about a 40 minute set. Berlin came on first with a jazzier set followed by Hamm and Sheehan's more rock oriented sets. They did about three numbers together to end the evening. Overall, the show ran about 2 hours 15 minutes. They all came out for a meet and greet after the show and were all very accommodating and friendly.

The guitarist Jude Gold and the drummer that play with them were very impressive too.

T-shirts, posters, and CD's were available at their merch booth so bring some cash if anyone wants to partake. T-shirts were $20 and CD's $15.

The only sad part was there was only about 60 people there. Guess our cold weather kept the crowd level down. The guys played like the house was packed though. Each one was very funny with their stage banter. You can tell they really like touring together.

Not sure exactly what tunes were played I know Berlin did do a Weather Report tune which they just added a few days ago he said. Talking to their merch guy I thought he said Berlin would do a few tunes from his latest CD Anurythms(sp) and other stuff.

Hamm was selling his latest live CD recorded from the last BX3 tour leg and I was told he'd perform much of the same stuff from it. Here's a link to that CD's tracklist:

Sheehan did a Jeff Beck tune and also a Kings X tune (?) amoung other stuff.

All their sets smoked though! If anyone has a better idea of what they played specifically I'd be interested in knowing.

The three of them finished off their set with Big Bottom, yup the Spinal Tap tune...was much fun. Encore was a rockin/groovin' version of Cream's Crossroads...came off really well.

So, if anyone's on the fence about catching the other shows I'd say go! They are sure to either impress or make one want to take your bass gear out in the backyard and burn it.

I'm editing my photos and will post them sometime over the weekend.

Thanks for posting your review in the review section; it’s always good to hear feedback on the shows. Photos would be great! Getting the right exposure, ASA and F-stop is essential; flashes are not needed with today’s modern cameras. I personally go to total Manuel setting; it gives much more control over creativity, plus flashed are disruptive and sometimes down right rude.
