I believe this concert was in Japan. Notice the crowd size. Not what you would see (yet) in US because the musical illiteracy bug is so far up Taylor Swift's unmusical butt to notice. Evidence that if you actually put genius level performers and composers in a group setting, standards will follow. Hiromi, is extremely unique in that she can be accessible to all listeners and is an extraordinary gifted genius( pardon the redundancy). I have seen this video so many times that I have permanent STANK FACE. Side notes: Anthony Jackson is a legend in his own right. Simon Phillips was in Toto for many years and was not on my radar. He was great in that group, but the collaboration with Hiromi as well as his group Protocol really tapped into an entirely different level. This trio disbanded after about 5 years and 5 albums give or take. I think they disbanded about 8 years ago. That is a shame because this is some of their most compelling work. Jackson, hopefully, is doing better after health issues. The studio albums do not have the same energy and I have found that the engineering/ production values somewhat lacking. Ironically, this video is less technically clean than the studio recording but much higher Stank Face quotient. I think you will find that to be true in all of her live youtube recordings. Thanks bro!
I saw them in a small club/venue in Zürich/Switzerland. It was almost too small for Simon Philipps' huge drum set - or the sounds he produces on it.
Awsome isn' it .. let's try "MOVE", you won't regret it ... Hug from France
