I'm sitting here right now at my desk in Durham listening to David Byrne playing live in NYC right now. Webcast of the Creative Commons benefit. Alas, since I was out formulating plans for wrrld domination, I missed most of Gilberto Gil's opening set. I expect he'll probably come back and play some with Byrne later in the evening. But so far Byrne seems to be playing the same set as Sunday night. Which means it'll be much later in the evening.
Well, everything's later in New York...
edited later: so far Byrne's dropped 6 songs that were in the Durham set ("Man Who Loved Beer", "Nothing But Flowers", "Blind", "Desconocido Soy", "Heaven" and "Lazy"). On the other hand, the NYC crowd got to see Gilberto Gil so they got nothin' to complain about.
Right now Gil's coming back onstage to join Byrne. And they're doing "Don't Fence Me In" OK, show's over -- go home now...
gil's set was frought with technical difficulties from the streaming server. even if you'd been at your computer, you wouldn't have been able to hear much... unless you like listening to rebuffering.
byrne's set sounded good, though! especially for a webcast. i actually recorded it and have burned it to CD... it makes me wish i were there.
