Re: two short reviews of concerts

Abstract chords, no melody...sounds like my cup of tea.  And to think 
piano 
players thought they had the corner on the market when it comes to playing 
superimposed minor second intervals and tone clusters with only one hand.

Though I too get bored with the speed demon fusion shreading after a while.

Was he using he baritone guitar, or did he get rid of those things a long 
time ago? I've lost track of Holdsworth quite a while ago.
