Yes, that Soulive. Awesome show. They opened with
"Steppin", and then went from there. They did a Beatles medley, which was fun
too. Then Karl Denson came out and did a second set with them, and then Nigel Hall came
out and sang the last part of the set too.
oh good grief. karl denson w/soulive? that's just too damn funky for
just about anyone. i saw karl denson's tiny universe years ago and
have a few of his records - that band (whoever is in it) is just on
fire.

by stage left, studying what the keyboard/bass player was doing. Which was, mostly,
keeping the keyboard parts simple, and going bananas on bass instead.
This is what he was using for a bass sound:

he was playing a MIDI bass pedal?
