BOC-L Digest - 3 Mar 1999 to 4 Mar 1999

[Joseph Brooks]

That's fine. Tastes differ. My wife is like that. If a band jams for more
than 5 minutes without singing, she is instantly bored. Me, I love the
"endless jam" if its done well and doesn't just turn into a drone or aimless
noodling. If BOC did that I'd be in BOC heaven... :-) But I can still enjoy
it the other way.. So long as the band isn't just "going thru the motions"..

                They did it at the Woodlands in Scranton, PA...either '97 or
'98.
                Pretty cool.

                BTW, It's time to chime in with my opinion on this whole
jam/improv
                thing:

                I much prefer what BOC does. I saw the Allman Brothers way
back in 92
                or so...In something like two hours, I recognized about five
                different songs. It was mostly just an endless jam...and it
was THE
                most boring concert I've ever been to (And that includes The
                Busboys!).

                And don't get me wrong...I really dig the Allmans.
