Thanks Ling for the complementary pass at Bamboo's gig at Bar None, Mariott(also extended thanks to Ling's guru 'cikgu Addy'). I really had a good time. Twas a sunday so wifey opted to stay home for an early rest, but she had a handphone stream of the perfomance.
Set started with a bang with 'Mr. Clay,' one of my fav Bamboo song. Another fav song, 'Masaya' they did last. Not certainly the last coz they gave two encore numbers, '214' and 'Much Has Been Said' (if i'm not wrong) , kindly granting the full-house crowd's request.
Things i appreciate from the performance is Bamboo's cool voice, Vic's absolutely ferocious drumming skills, and reliving the good 'ol 'Rivermaya classics.' Playing those hits brought back the glory days of RM, reminiscing the songs 'Kisapmata, Ulan, Hinahanap-hanap Kita and 214.' Other songs they did with equal power and crowd intensity are Halleluiah, Noypi, These days, (sorry i can't remember all).
From where i stand at the mosh area its too difficult to see Vic, the drummer. Occasional tip toeing doesn't help at all so i guess, i'm gonna have to wait till 17th & 18th Rockdafort to really have a chance to watch Vic's virtuoso with a clear unobstructive view. One thing i noticed from his cymbal setup he has inverted 'broken' splashes (2-tiers) on top of his right 'rock crash.' According to another drummer friend, broken cymbals create a distinct sound some pros incorporate to add uniqueness in their playing. Nope its not Bar None's coz before and after Bamboo's performance there was only one crash on each stand used by 'concave scream' and 'jive talkin'.
