Pulse gig at Henry's

A private party on Saturday night. Two one-hour sets, great energy.

(Here's a description of the idea behind Pulse.)

Henry - percussion
Richard - electric bass guitar
Matthew S - cello, harmonica, clarinet, voice, percussion, keyboard, acoustic guitar, musical saw
John - electric guitar, voice, percussion
Mark - percussion
me - saz, percussively-triggered radio device, percussion


Henry, John and Richard
This was the first time we'd played together in this configuration. John was called in at the last minute. I hadn't even met Mark before (this is a different Mark to the occasional COTD keyboard player).

I managed to get a recording of part of the first set and all of the second, but there's some distortion due to levels being set too high. The second set's pretty listenable though:

(Basslines) Ball of Fire -> Walking on the Moon -> Samba -> Guguletu -> Cantaloupe -> Surfin' -> Papa Was a Rolling Stone -> John's groove -> The Beat Goes On

My highlight was the other Matthew singing "House of the Rising Sun" over the "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" bassline.
