The Poojer Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I saw him friday night, I assume he wore this at a Buffalo area gig. By the way, if anyone is a Robert Randolph fan, check out this new side project, The Word, RR, John Medeski & The North Mississippi All-Stars, they absolutely brought the house down friday. One of the more dynamic performers I have ever seen live.
The Poojer Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 You need to see him with The Word, believe it or not, might be better than with Family Band Seen him twice. Have to see it to believe it.
The Big Cat Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 You need to see him with The Word, believe it or not, might be better than with Family Band Sent my wife the link to the Chicago show they're doing in October. She expressed interest which increases the probability of our attendance 10 fold! (she was with me both times i saw him and the family and loved them just as much as I did)
Metal Man Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Caught him a couple of weeks ago in Syracuse for my third time.They always put on a great show. https://youtu.be/5JB-UrsqnAA
The Poojer Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I saw that he played blues or jazz fest, was he with The Family Band or The Word, with The Word you get the added benefit of an Electric Washboard player with Cody Dickinson(North Mississippi All-Stars), not to mention the Hammond stylings of John Medeski...simply amazing Caught him a couple of weeks ago in Syracuse for my third time.They always put on a great show. https://youtu.be/5JB-UrsqnAA Edited July 28, 2015 by The Poojer

During their last song they did their signature move where everyone swaps instruments a couple of times while they just jam. Good stuff, and the weather was perfect for an outdoor show. Hopefully I get the chance to check him out with the Word sometime as well.
The Poojer Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 I've seen a lot of concerts and some legendary musicians over the years and I always come away from RR shows saying they are among the best I have ever seen. the music and his style is so damn infectious, I am so glad he was able to recover from his accident a couple years ago, him not being able to play music would have been a tragedy.

Same here. "Infectious" is the perfect way to describe it. Everyone around gets caught up in the music immediately and it is very rare to see anyone in the crowd not moving along in some way to the music. Definitely one of those bands it is impossible to stand still for.

Chef Jim Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Saw him with the Family Band at a Reggae festival and also sit in on a few numbers with moe.
