Concierto en San Javier (España) de Reunion, un grupo de estrellas increible con la voz ademas de Michael Franks. Espero que lo disfruteis. Os pongo la intro para que conozcais a los musicos.
42 years ago. Durban south Africa I first heard this beautiful song. A beach front hotel, young lady behind the bar noticed that I was loving the song and she lent me the tape. Another time and a another world, but thank you so much for introducing me to Michael Franks.
Some people love Atlantic City. I hate it. But a friend of mine asked me to see Michael Franks with her and I jumped at the opportunity. I have been listened to him since I was a kid. I couldn't believe his voice. I couldn't believe his band. I will never forget that night. They performed so well and the sound, whew, so good that it brought tears to my eyes and I'm a dude. Michael Franks is a legend. He has that Antonio Carlos Jobim voice. Mellow, fluid, and peaceful.
i was introduced to him in 1983 by my dear buz in san antonio. These were the great days of my life. thanks...thanks san antonio. tex. , Buz , life, and most of all crazy Brandon!
Completely agree, but those two songs are from the late '70s. Lady wants to know from Sleeping Gypsy 1977 and Tiger in the rain from the same album published in 1979
@Fantana I feel so fortunate to have stood right in front of him, at the edge of the stage, somewhere in the mid '80's at Syracuse Jazz fest. Fantastic
I was raised with jam band music and the Blues. Michael Franks has turned me onto Jazz music which before I had a hard time relating to. I believe that the sax was good. Any music lover can appreciate artistic impressions without harsh judgement.
Eric solo makes the song shines even more, and the duet with till bronner at the finish fantastic, Michael is the more confortable voice that you can hear till today.
Me encantó ver en acción a mi cantautor preferido: Michael Franks, presentado por Chuck Loeb en ese festival, quien señaló que el estilo de Franks es único. En eso estoy completamente de acuerdo. Gracias a dotz2ro por regalarme varios videos de mi idolo. Saludos desde Puebla, México
Love the simplicity and minimalism of Michael Franks’ lyrics and music. I think he’s actually more like Davis than Coltrane in this respect. A songwriter to admire and mimic.
@loninobar yes, i had the honour to see this concert live, it was really beautifull to see michael franks live for the first time in my life, it was a little dream come true. i still have a few more...althoug im more musical than lyrical, Franks lyrics are different, like lady wants to know, tiger in the rain, with a sensitivity that reaches the edge of any possible. A luxury to listen him.
I certainly have not had the pleasure of seeing a live performance of MF and I envy those of you that have. Wonderful vid. MF definately an all time great.
Somebody here mentioned Michael Frank's vocal is not as good as it used to be, but I think he preserved his voice very well, considering his age. It's been more than 20 years since then, you know. Michael Franks does not oversing. Think about recent young singers who ruin their voice from oversinging and can't sing on stage. Compared to them, Michael has a class of his own, and never he sings off key on a live stage.
Si, yo tambien estuve, tambien disfruté mucho el tema eggplant, pero no la pusieron en TV. Este tema y el solo que se montaron entre Mariental y Bronner fue de los mejores momentos, si.
With all due respects to Dennis Chambers and his accomplishments, in this concert, he doesn't swing. I will forever miss the man, Mr. John Guerin -- the original drummer of Michael's "Art of Tea" and "Sleeping Gypsy" albums; Guerin displays complete control, taste, and he swings like a finely oiled machine.
Lo grabé directamente de la 2, vi el concierto y estuve esperando a que lo retransmitieran, pregunté por mail a los organizadores de San Javier, y me lo dijeron. Los subtitulos con cualquier editor de video lo puedes hacer. Gracias por el comentario
Yes, it was a humor gag, he said, ..and my name is...Larry Carlton... In that concert the day after will play Larry Carlton, so i suposed somebody in that concert confuse him with L.C., so he said that, is what i think.
Michael's voice sounds very weak in comparison to his former self. His music will live on with me, but it pains me to see him as he is now. God Bless you Michael.
