Since the 15th was only my second time seeing him (first was at Lollapolloza as Dinosaur Jr.) I didn’t realize that all the tour bands were the Fog. LOLI have tried to find out info on the bass player but the drummer is from the Tom Collins Band.
Simply bad-assThe bass player is Dave Schools. He has been the bassist for the popular jam band Widespread Panic for almost 2 decades. I went to UGA 92-94 and that is where they are based. He was a kind of local celebrity I would see him out at the bars occassionally.
I had read somewhere about him teaming up with J, but I had obviously forgotten cuz I was shocked when the large man onstage turned around and it was Dave Schools! All I could think of was "when worlds collide" lol cuz I know how rabid WSP fans are and I know many will go to the shows just to see Dave. They are in for a shock if they are expecting southern-fried funky grooves! The WSP fans that I overheard were for the most part very complimentary of the show in Raleigh. I thought it was a nice way to expand their musical horizons a bit.
Mainly I was just extremely impressed by the chemistry these two talented musicians from different backgrounds and musical genres exhibited. Whats next Americans rocking out with Arabs?! I say hell yeah!

Gracias! The effect is pretty much a result of my shooting style and the parameters forced on my by the lighting. Unfortunately some highlights were blown due to the hot red lights up front, but I think for the most part I captured pretty well the emotion and intensity of J’s smokin performance that night.
