Nothing better than... &mdash 08/04/04 - 09:18:47 AM
A live jam and this is a good one. This has energy and

Lucky pub patrons &mdash 08/04/04 - 09:22:56 AM
I imagine the pub was not empty at 1 AM. Very tight live performance. This is the real deal. [ Reply to This ]

clubs... This is Great!!!

In the words of a great philosopher &mdash 08/04/04 - 11:50:38 AM
That guitar is speaking in tongues... ...and I'm hearing it!
Awesome. Let's see if I can think of any constructive
criticism. Hmmm... inventive song writing, extremely
creative structure, fantastic song, top-notch playing.
Drums, git, bass all fantastic. I hear a touch of Dixie Dregs
in this. Nice chops, dude! This song supports Troy's
assertion that you should be able to put songs in multiple
genres. There's an argument for Art Rock here because of
the degree of creativity. McBoy, I've never done this
before, but here it is, and I'm not lying: 10:9:10:10. 9 on
production because it being a live recording, is not quite
as clean as digital studio recording. I don't need to tell
you that's a minor quibble. Downloaded and Favorited.
This is songwriting and performance at the top of it's
game. Fantastic, not one note too long. You dudes
freakin' SMOKE! [ Reply to This ]
Jammin!!! &mdash 08/04/04 - 12:12:32 PM
The best word to describe this track is:
WOW!!!
This kind of free-form jam playing is so liberating to
listen to, it's stimulating in every way. Especially when it's
done THIS well. Fleet, imaginative and smokin' gits!
Excellent drums. Great material, well produced and
performed.
Not only does your expertise glow on this track, your
obvious enjoyment of playing shines through. VERY
inspiring!
This is one of your best. I enjoyed it from beginning to
end. [ Reply to This ]
Im moving &mdash 08/04/04 - 12:22:41 PM
to Florida... LOL
Mcboy, you make me want to get on a plane and head off
to your jam sessions... Im awed by both of you on this
track....
Excellent, and a real chance to hear you play that guitar!!!!

Hot Hot HOT!! &mdash 08/04/04 - 02:11:01 PM
Steely Dan on steroids. Blisteringly good. The bar just
keeps on going up here.
You guys seem to have the ESP thing going on, it grooves
and you move together.
Production is GREAT too!
Completely cool.
I am not worthy... [ Reply to This ]
McDude &mdash 08/04/04 - 03:30:49 PM
Hey, great Jam. How did you mic this? You said that it was live, right? The production is fantastic (and, of course, the performance is great too). Your fingers roll around the guitar like happy, little gnomes frolicking in a forest grotto. This has a funky twist that I can really dig... it's not just straight, flat blues.
Good one. (well, I guess they're usually good ones).
Sweetly,
F.

Coolest &mdash 08/05/04 - 09:03:08 AM
What a great track. Combining your mastery of funk, jazz
and rock into this hummin' smooth totally hip stream of
music consciousness. Terrific. If this is you guys
unwashed, never take a shower again! Just shower us
with more music! [ Reply to This ]
HOT! &mdash 08/05/04 - 12:11:06 PM
I bet your guitar strings could light up smoke after that! Wow, incredible! [ Reply to This ]
No vocals? &mdash 08/05/04 - 01:00:31 PM
I'm thankful there are no vocals, that way all we here
is that great jam. Fantastic. What was your live setup?
Guitar, amp? Great sound. [ Reply to This ]
No vocals? &mdash 08/05/04 - 01:49:39 PM

peavey 212(solid state).......the git is a modified(custom electronics) '62
strat.....everybody was individually miked....soundman ran outs from mixer to
dat recorder.....

I live for music....... [ Reply to This ]
Loved it...made me feel really good &mdash 08/05/04 - 08:15:30 PM
It diffinitely took me by surprise...the performance is fluid, relaxed, and natural. There's some exceptional technique from all the performers, but what I like most is the seemingly effortless soul behind it all. Very very fun and inspiring. Makes me wish I'd kept my Byrdland.
Kind regards, Jeremy [ Reply to This ]
playing from the heart! &mdash 08/05/04 - 08:49:16 PM
sounds like one of those great nights when you can stop thinking about what you're playing, and play straight from your heart. when you can play what you hear in your head, and the first take is always the best! doesn't get any better! thanks for sharing it. [ Reply to This ]
Cookin' &mdash 08/05/04 - 09:48:57 PM
Great playing. Tune has a Scott Henderson blues
guitar feel, if you don't mind me saying. My
compliments to the rest of the band. You are all
superb players.

Freaking amazing &mdash 08/05/04 - 11:06:00 PM
Your riffs are feaking amazing man. I am so jealous. I am from St. Paul MN and there is a group that play funk on Monday nights called The Combo that put some pretty funky stuff out there. I am blessed to be able to go listen to them a couple of times a year. But you guys also kick ass man. I mean you really kick ass. Bravo!!!! I want to hear more. [ Reply to This ]
Great jammin'! &mdash 08/06/04 - 02:48:56 AM
You three work very well together, nice and tight!
Pure talent spewin' out of this track! Where's the
pub? I'm goin' over there to get a Newcastle and
listen to you guys jam! [ Reply to This ]
Return Visit &mdash 08/07/04 - 07:42:54 PM
I had to return to give you one more comment, hope
that's acceptable. I download this and am using it as
a learning/practice piece. This just hits me the right
way, I love everyone's tone and feel on this. It gives
me inspiration, this is how I wish I could play, even
though my material does lead you to believe that. [ Reply to This ]
Tight! &mdash 08/07/04 - 08:21:59 PM
7-8-8-8
It must have been a grand time that night. I very much
liked the way the three of you were hanging together and
staying tight with the changes.
I dropped one on content as I'd like to hear the rest of it
and I'm guessing there must have been some vocals. [ Reply to This ]
Whoooa! &mdash 08/10/04 - 12:55:32 AM
Man, that was tighter than Dick's hatband!!! Shades of
Return to Forever, and a little J. Beck as well as some jazz
greats...truly original chops, 10-09-10-10 I would've paid
to see playin' like that. [ Reply to This ]
Miss a note once in awhile, will ya?? &mdash 08/10/04 - 09:29:54 AM
Is this really. . . ? &mdash 08/14/04 - 04:16:44 PM
Is this really a live jam? I ask only because it's so tight it's hard to believe. There are plenty of musicians who couldn't play this tight with multiple takes in a studio. Great stuff!! [ Reply to This ]
It ended too soon... &mdash 08/23/04 - 09:40:50 PM
...give us the full 15 minutes :)
Nice guitar. A bit of Jeff Beck mixed with a bit of Tommy Bolin (when he
played with Billy Cobham). Love the way you "bend down" to the notes. I
thought Allan Holdsworth was the only one who could effectively pull that off. [ Reply to This ]
Cool Jams &mdash 08/29/04 - 07:45:47 AM
Sounds mucho macfun Macboy. ;)
I listened this morning to the rest of your stuff from
August. Has anyone ever told you that you are rather
musically inclined? [ Reply to This ]
Pub Jams are the best... &mdash 09/09/04 - 12:05:40 AM
Some of my favorite times is when we're all semi-blasted
doing our soundcheck and just tearing a funky beat.
You'll have to give me you secret to getting such a crispy
mix with all the instruments. [ Reply to This ]
Shweet! &mdash 09/09/04 - 06:29:14 PM
Dude, this jam is so hot. I downloaded it to my mp3 player and listen to Clapton, Hendrix, and McBoy baby. Sweet tune man, you got skills, thanks for the listening pleasure :) :) [ Reply to This ]
falling bends &mdash 12/07/04 - 01:22:56 AM
those are really cool falling bends (not sure if that is the term) that drop down into the note... sweet! [ Reply to This ]
sweet jam &mdash 01/27/05 - 02:00:51 PM
fun :) &mdash 01/27/05 - 07:28:46 PM
Macboy - cool name
I can feel my knees go-in crazy )
Boy, you sure KNOW how to ROCK!
What I love about this recording is that you are not
overpowering the listener and you have plenty of great
fresh ideas.
Ya, nice jamin.
Thanks

Great jam. What an understatement. I envy your vacation
agenda. Keep shirking work, man, if this is the result. And
don't wash it off, whatever it is. [ Reply to This ]

Damn! &mdash 05/03/05 - 05:19:01 PM
That's probably the best electric guitar playing I've heard
here. Technically excellent and creatively brilliant. Great
riffs. You guys all play great and sound damn tight together.
Damn fine bass slappin in there too. Wow. Yeah!!! [ Reply to This ]

Ah, finally &mdash 05/28/05 - 05:35:58 PM
Here's that lost track from Jeff Beck's "Blow by Blow". Glad I finally found it. This is just incredible. --D [ Reply to This ]
Hahahaha &mdash 05/29/05 - 12:12:04 PM
So THIS is what that song I downloaded as a brand-
spankin' new visitor to MacJams back in December was
called.
It's called 'liveconcert' on my iTunes playlist.
Glad to get it sorted out...it's a classic.
This tune is da bomb!

Wow &mdash 01/03/06 - 01:22:43 PM
I know I am very late to descover this tune. T'was posted long before I was
a MacJammer.
Anyway ... I would like to say: GREAT. Wonderful jammin! Such a guitar
playing from you! Very inventive and delicate! And live! Very impressive!
Are you still playing with the band? You are swell together, and they back
up your guitar so well!

Looking at the numbers &mdash 01/09/06 - 01:18:06 PM
attracted me to this song. I'm glad the number of hits and ratings are included in macjams 'cause then you find out what you've been missing all along. Wow...very nice on this jam, gives me a haunting touch and feel of Jeff during a traffic jam. Quite the master crafter, and compliments on the bassist and drummer too. Guess the hang over hadn't set in yet that morning.
Regards,
John
