The show was better than expected and really COOL!
I liked kevid Clowd's drum play.
I thought this band was pickup musician band.but,It was wrong! The band were very well organized.
What a wonderful performance of the song called "Mayden Voyage" (New Song) ! from Katsu
I liked Bobby Watson's funky and free playing style?! from Eichan
Every performances were well-organized sound and ensemble.
The sound was Rock/Fusion
and not to go on the techniques.
Sir Thompson's guitar play has excellent stability and
also orthodox.
His guitar play were very simple and cool.
The show was more than expected.
I'm impressed the variety of tones and volume control.
Be that as it may,NATIVE SON was nice band.

Q & A
M.T. fan has a few technical questions who came to the show.
M.T. answered questions immediately.
Special Thanks to M.T.
and Hideyan san
No.1 : I saw one Deluxe Reverb was backward.What's the purpose for use it.
M.T.: I was going stereo into 2 Fender 65 Deluxe re-issues that the club rented.
I turned one around so it would be less volume facing the audience.
I used a Radial JDX on one of the Deluxes direct to the mixer and the other amp had a shure 57 on it.
No.2 : I would like to know the way you use the Groove Tubes Speaker emulator.
Do you send the "WET sound"(reverb or delay) directly to the P.A. system?
M.T.: I brought the Groove Tubes SE-II in case I needed to really get quieter
but I didn't end up using it because the Cotton Club were OK with my volume...
