notice how different this version is from the first version of Dead Nigga Boulevard that i put up earlier? Thats just another example of how through great creativity & great improvisational players her live shows full of unexpected twists & turns...musically you should expect the unexpected...

By the way this show is from the last tour she did with her great GREAT band of 10 years "The Bretheren". Unfortunately they disbanded after this...but they gave me ten years of straight up musical magic and inspiration without a doubt and they live on in the handful recordings that are out there....

the core group consisted of (excuse my mispellings)

Meshell on Bass & vocals and sometimes keys too
Federico Gonzales Pena on Keys and vocals
Alan Cato on Guitar and vocals
Gene Lake on Drums (sometimes Sean Rickman would fill in as well)
David Dyson on bass

There were other musicians that would often join in the live creation as well, but this wa the core group that i saw at most of the shows i was lucky enough to catch...an amazing group of folks whos work together should go down in the musical books as the best of their era (in my my own experience i have never been more satisfied than while attending some of their gigs). Historcal stuff they deserve any & all the accolades that come there way and then some...
