I just had a chance to listen to approx. 5 minutes of the 61 on there. I am going to listen to more later at work. So far is jazz with no vocals. Looks like it would be something good to see live.

Also, the drumming is excellent and on the webstie you can switch the view from front of stage to overt he drum set to the drummer's feet, which really is cool (at least to me as I am a drummer too).

Dank - I just checked it out. Pretty impressive funk/fusion/jam thing -
Chad's drumming is great, as usual.

I like the Drum Channel technology, too - pretty cool that you click to see the "foot cam" or the "overhead cam," so you can focus on how, exactly, CS is doing what he's doing, from different angles. I'm going to share this with my son (12), who's playing drums these days.

Thanks for the link. I'd not heard of this site.

I'm still listening to this, and liking it more and more as it goes on. Apparently, it's an entire concert. Streaming video and audio are both very high-quality.
