But wow, what a treat this is going to be! Quote

But wow, what a treat this is going to be! And actually affordable. The last time Herbie played up this way, they were charging $300/ticket. Quote

Herbie’s been mostly playing the same 6-7 tunes… mostly for nearly the last decade! Song stats (scroll down just a bit) for everything in setlist.fm for Herbie (all years)… https://www.setlist.fm/stats/herbie-hancock-3d6b557.html And here’s year-by-year stats (again, scroll down slightly) for each of the nearly last 10 years… https://www.setlist.fm/stats/covered/herbie-hancock-3d6b557.html?year=2025 https://www.setlist.fm/stats/herbie-hancock-3d6b557.html?year=2024 https://www.setlist.fm/stats/herbie-hancock-3d6b557.html?year=2023 https://www.setlist.fm/stats/herbie-hancock-3d6b557.html?year=2022 (skipping the two pandemic years) https://www.setlist.fm/stats/herbie-hancock-3d6b557.html?year=2019 https://www.setlist.fm/stats/herbie-hancock-3d6b557.html?year=2018 https://www.setlist.fm/stats/herbie-hancock-3d6b557.html?year=2017 Quote
Aggie87 Posted July 20 Report Posted July 20 (edited) If you haven't seen him in forever, it doesn't matter if it's the same setlist. Enjoy, Holy Ghost! Edited July 20 by Aggie87 Quote
JSngry Posted July 20 Report Posted July 20 Well, the joke was supposed to be that "Is he gonna be playing that old shit" was meant to answer with WHICH old shit? But it turns out that the actual answer is ALL of them! And that's how it should be, he's self-validating ALL of it, so hell yeah, although I do wish he would revisit "I Thought It Was You" in some fashion. Quote
mjazzg Posted July 20 Report Posted July 20 Seeing him in London on Saturday in one of our major concert halls, and very much looking forward to it as it will be the first time since a trio club date in late 80s. £100/ticket is definitely the very upper price range for the venue but I was gifted the ticket by my partner.

Enjoy, Holy Ghost! Right!?!?!? Never seen Herbie live, he can play Yankee Doodle Dandee out his asshole (quoting Nat'l Lampoon's Vacation) for all I care. I've seen the Wayne Shorter Quartet (front row seats!) and Ron Carter, both about 25 years ago, and they could've played a similar set list, and I wouldn't (don't) regret a second of it. So whatever Herbie plays, I am going to enjoy. Here's the band: Herbie Hancock, keyboard Terence Blanchard, trumpet James Genus, bass Lionel Loueke, guitar & vocals Jaylen Petinaud, drums Quote

Milestones Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago Pretty tempting. I last saw Herbie at Blossom (Kool Jazz Festival) back in 1984. It was a fine show, even with the young Marsalis brothers in the band. He also had two guys named Ron Carter and Tony Williams. Not to mention that Miles was the first act on that very long and thoroughly enjoyable evening. Quote
