Hello Everyone,

Saturday night (8-20-10) I attended the Herbie Hancock show at the Northern Lights Theater at the Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee. It was the finest piano playing, drumming, and greatest band I've seen in decades. Herbie Hancock is truly still the master. Vinnie is the pro drummers drummer. In fact, everyone in the band was top notch. They opened with an amazing performance of "Actual Proof" from Herbie's 1974 "Thrust" album. His piano solo almost threw me off my seat! Other favorite moments - Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up" and "John Lennon's "Imagine". Great moments throughout the night with versions of Herbie standards like "Cantaloupe Island", "Watermelon Man", "Chameleon",............etc. Brought me back to how I use to feel after an inspiring concert in the 70's.

Everyone in the band is worth listing.

• Herbie Hancock - piano & synths
• Greg Phillinganes - keyboards, vocals, & MD
• Lionel Loueke - guitar & vocals
• Pino Palladino - bass Vinnie Colaiuta - drums
• Kristina Train - vocals & violin

I would recommend this concert to anyone who loves eclectic music and extraordinary musicianship!

Best Regards,
Daryl Stuermer
