These concert schedules look grueling. How can anyone expect these musicians to play well each night when they have to crisscross the country 6 to 7 consecutive days/nights in a row. Seems too mentally and physically taxing to maintain the standards a musician would hope to achieve.

I saw ICP a couple of years back at the end of a two week US schedule that would make any of the above seem like a cake walk. At the time Han Bennink was 71 or 72 and none of the ten musicians are that young - I think Thomas Heberer and Mary Oliver might be the youngest. They were obviously tired.

Bennink's energy level and precision has never wavered any time I've ever seen him live - and it's always been at the beginning, the middle or towards the end of these 2 weekish coast to coast and border to border US tours.

The actual show was stunning, exhuberant and highly inspired. The great world class musicians that make up the band played magnificently.

This has been my experience for all the bands that take on these grueling one night tours that traverse the country.

These incredible musicians must get some inside motivation and strength from what they love as they cannot possibly play this music for anything but love.
