These videos are in YT for some time, but they had a very bad A/V sync.
(I told this to the original Youtube poster, but he didn´t answered, so...)

Yesterday I tried to enjoy them again, but it was painful to watch.

I like these performances so much, that I´ve edited the videos and re-uploaded them
with the audio and video synchronized.
The band deserves it.
Here they are:

OOOOoooh Man, I love you

This is absolutely amazing.... Simon in fusion mode is really something to watch and listen, I really loved the four pieces, my favourite was "Lay It Down", what a groove... it reminds me the vibes and feel of Billy Cobham's classic "Stratus" (probably because of the bass line... )

Lee & Mike are two of my fav's fusion/jazz guitarist, and my god did they rock in these vids...

You've done a great jobs with these videos, the synchro is spot, and the sound is fabulous.

I know that this thread will please a few members... :))

Just keep posting videos like that every day Juan...
 
Goldmine! Thanks for this!
Yes, a perfect description!

Just how much better can Simon get? Stunning musicianship. He's really dialling into some amazing stuff lately.

For those of whom don't know, Simon's work rate shows just how in demand he is. In a business full of chopsmeisters, Simon's application across so many genres puts many high profile players achievements into perspective. Very very few rock players ever achieve his level of multi genre ability with total credibility in every project he undertakes. For me, as a simple "never has been" rock hack, Simon's the very top of a very big tree.
 
nice! love simons inverted 4/4 on big neighborhood. He has such a way of making simple grooves unique.

Nice stuff. Not a big fan of Lee but Stern's my man.

A beautiful and spontaneous way to play. Simon never overcomes the drums.
