"Lamb" had just come out, and they performed the whole thing, with the multimedia show and all the wild costumes. They pulled it off beautifully, and then followed it up with "Supper's Ready" from "Foxtrot"! A truly amazing show--Phil Collins' drumming was just incredible.<br /><br />I don't think fusion is a dead end as long as you consider what's being "fused"---Return to Forever was a dead end because they chose to fuse cheesy classical motifs with pyrotechniques and meaningless time signature changes. What Shipp did still has relevance.<br /><br />Here's my playlist data for last week.
