Wilkes Barre 2012 ....Adam was feeling pretty fierce in his dancin’ shoes this night!5:57 ---> 6:25 so. much. fun!!
This absolutely shows how important Adam's own band and singers are. They are tight and responsive and allow Adam the freedom to improvise and funk the hell out. Without them there is no modified arrangement to Kickin In, a shame because the beginning of it is fabulous! Brian is doing a kickass job of modifying the songs for a dynamic live experience.
The singers add visual and aural snap. The band sounds sharp and together because they have rehearsed together and with Adam-- there really is no substitute for this kind of teamwork. Adam and Brian working together are creating magic.
I'm not saying the London band was bad. They were excellent. I'm not saying individual band members are as important as Adam. They are not. Adam is a solo performer and we all know that.
But look at how polished this was-- how comfortable and joyful Adam was with "his" team. The difference is clear as day to me.
Aloha,
I agree 100%! Adam also said during Cuckoo at this event "I feel llike I hit the jackpot with the band of life". In a previous interview he praised the band as being 10 times better than the last (FYE era) band and being so "in the pocket". If I understand this term correctly, it means this band really keeps the rhythm going on time and plays tightly as you mentioned. Obviously Adam really likes his current band!
Now if only Adam could find a sound person that he is happy with.
