Wasn't sure what to expect when we decided to see Galactic because this line-up sounded 'sorta hiphoppish ... not to worry (anything Stanton is involved with can't be bad) - it was fantastic !!
You gotta see Corey Henry striding through the crowd with his trombone flailing away, and people ducking the slide !!
The energy level was through the roof, and never a dull moment. All the musicians were on their mark, and of course Stanton was layin' down the groove like a maniac !!
- Great big buckets of Funk.

I've seen enough live shows to know that I prefer the fusion jazz freestyle sound of the hippie concert to anything else. I went to Bonnaroo '04, not knowing what to expect 5 years ago and was completely amazed. By the bands I knew I'd enjoy: The Dead, Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews; and even more so by this amazing fusion jazz sound from Medeski Martin and Wood and Galactic. I went back in '05, determined to listen through the entire show for Galactic and my mind was blown. Honestly, their album is lacking, but live, I can say there is not a better performing band that I've seen. Or that has even come close. The way in which they control the intensity of the music to a degree that manipulates the crowd is incredible. It makes you almost beg for the imminent climax of each perfectly timed song. Five Stars.
