I'm listening to High Water from that show, and the participation of the crowd in the very last instrumental part is something i had never heard before, very funny.
I just hope it doesn't encourage him to play this kind of easy tricks...

Hmmmm, will have to listen to this to understand.

It's in the rare recordings section.
It's like there is a game of questions/answers between Bob's harmonica and the crowd.

I tried to explain this to <Bobby> in a text messege.... Bob on the harp going woo-woo-woo, then George replying with bam-bam-bam to what Bob had just played, and, on top of this, the local crowd shouting woo-woo-woo back to the rhythm Bob introduced.

I agree with borisw that Bob easily falls for his own crowd-pleasing tricks, and I can see why, since they make his job easy on the local crowds. Fortunately, we didn't get any more barking crowds.

Seriously though, I've never noticed him directing the band via his harp playing as much as on this tour. Bob plays rhythm no matter what instrument he's on, so George gets to pick up things via the harp. Later on in the tour, at Barolo and Lyon, Bob transposed the triple beat they'd worked into High Water over to THC, for George to build in there.

Based on the audio, I like it.

They're on a good way - they've become so tight as a band that Bob can take them anywhere. The good thing is, he does.

So it's really Good Mergentheim, right?

Well, Bob certainly didn't make it worse.... and someone there thought I was working for him, so it's all good.

thats weird jp, someone in bad M thought I was working for bob too... was it a woman?????

A woman with three kids, asking if she could bring them to the concert. I told her she could, but to avoid the most crowded area in front of the stage, so they'd have space to move, food and drink, and restrooms conveniently close. I think I also told her to bring ear protection. That seemed reasonable enough to me. I like kids, but not three under ten in the front row....

oh, ok...not the same. The woman who asked me was sort creeping around behind the buses during the day. some sort of stalker probably... when i went back to the car, i saw her eying me and then on the way back she asked me that... maybe she was asking everyone...she thought bob was on the bus

Not good.... did you ask her to meet Baron?

^^ sorry i edited.... well first i felt offended bc most roadies are men and i just kept walking after that.

Yes, since Maria the merchandise lady left, I've not seen any woman with the crew regularly. I thought the one that showed up in London last year would stay around, but I didn't see her this time.
