    They don't play Balls, but....

    I saw Return To Forever last night. They were awesome. Al Di Meola and Stanley Clark were on fire. Al swtiched between a couple PRS's, a Les Paul and an acoustic Ovation, Stanley played his Alembic (LEDs on the side of the neck) and his upright acoustic. His tone and technique on the upright was amazing.

    Would have been cool to see Stanley on a Bongo!!

    Great show - catch them if you get a chance. They haven't played together for 25 years - they hardly missed a beat. I saw them in Denver in 1976.

    Oh yeah - Chick Corea and Lenny White were great too!.


    Big AL - DDII/MHS
    Bongo 4 HH - True Gold BFR Rosewood
    Bongo 4 HSP - lined fretless, Olive Gold (for sale)
    Bongo 5 HSP Dargie Delight
