So I caught Glenn Tilbrook & the Fluffers here in Boston last night, and I am
moved today to tell you ALL to go see him/them if/when they come to your town.
They played two absolutely electrifying sets, which convinced me beyond the
shadow of a doubt that GT is one of the greatest living
singer/songwriter/guitarists on the planet. He is that rarest and most
appealing of performers: one who has achieved an astounding level of musical
proficiency and has still managed not to take himself too seriously.
(And I realize this will seem like sacrilege to many, but the Fluffers are
every bit as good as Squeeze -- not the _same_ as, mind you, but as good as.)
The showstopper came toward the end of the 2nd set: GT led his band Pied-Piper
style through the crowd and over to the bar... where they all CLIMBED ON TOP
OF THE BAR and stood there in a line, with acoustic instruments that included
bongos, a melodica and an empty beer bottle, to treat us to a rousing
rendition of "Black Coffee in Bed" complete with audience participation.
Possibly the best eighteen bucks I ever spent.
