> Went to the Robert Rich show in Des Moines last night - many thanks to
> elle_web and hiw wife for hosting this event. A great time was had by  
> all!
>
> I got to meet Robert for the first time after having corresponded with
> him via email for the last few years. I was honored to have several
> stooge panels serving in his system.
>
> He played 2 sets, reversed in order because his normal first set is
> accompanied by a movie, and there was enough natural light in the room
> to make it desirable to wait until sunset to show it. That worked out
> better as far as I was concerned - he ended up playing a lot of his
> earlier (MOTM-less) material first. The second set had several cuts
> from Bestiary and Electric Ladder which were satisfyingly glorpy. I
> finally was able to link the slide guitar with the sounds I was
> hearing on the CDs. It is inspiring to see him play his entire rig - 3
> ancient keyboards, modular, flutes, steel guitar, mixer and effects,
> as one big instrument.
>
> Robert is a super nice guy and has an embarrasingly sensible idea
> about not being much of a gear slut - he would rather make music with
> what he's got than chase after the latest and greatest (hanging my
> head in shame).
>
> Having said that though, we both agree - RELEASE THE CLOUD GENERATOR!
