Ed S Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) As part of my annual summer vacation with my now teenage boys, I was in NYC the past week. Our first night there, I dragged them to a show at the Village Vanguard - the Warren Wolf Quartet - just so they'd have something to remember me by - as in Hey - remember when Dad dragged us there? We did a lot of stuff during the rest of the week , but for our last night in New York, we saw the Security Project at BB King's. If you don't mind nostalgia bands with "sound alike" lead singers,then all I can say is this performance was awesome. This is a band performing the music of immediate post Genesis Peter Gabriel. The sound alike Peter Gabriel singer was great - without coming off as a Gabriel wannabee. Think San Jacinto, Not One Of Us, Hum Drum, I Don't Remember. Holy crap - the band was awesome.

Free For All Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 I've been pretty impressed with what I've heard thus far from Warren Wolf- how was the VV show? Quote
JSngry Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 Warren Wolf has a Peter Gabriel cover band now? Or what? Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Did the Gabriel band (Secuity Project) do any old Genesis tunes? - maybe how Gabriel might have done them in the early-mid 80s. I'd sure go hear them if they came down to the DC area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAT0E9A0ras From the Youtube description: Josh Gleason, Jerry Marotta and Trey Gunn with David Jameson, Fuzzbee Morse and Larry Fast. Members of Peter Gabriel's live "Security" band team up with King Crimson touch guitarist and the voice of Josh Gleason to reinterpret the pre-"So" material of Peter Gabriel.

In a word, Warren Wolf was amazing. Never heard of the guy - but wanted to take my sons to the Vanguard - so I went. An incredible show.

For the encore they did Back in New York City and Fly on a Windshield. Both were excellent. Trey Gunn, by the way was incredible. It was a real treat to hear him play.
