P.S. This is my dream gig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mkLoSqqvq8 Camilo has been my dream gig too for 2 decades! He's my favourite artist.

Love Weck's subtle tom/snare work on Eternal Child.
They always did Trance Dance live.

Yea, Tombo 7/4, I remember that show at the Bottomline. I guess a bunch of us from the Collective went. Yeah, I think the whole class was there (I’m pretty sure it was at the Blue Note though…then again I saw so many shows that summer...) Were you at Montreal DrumFest a couple weeks ago? I got a ba...
