Another hometown show! Pedal Steel virtuoso Robert Randolph visited the Norva with his Family Band on Thursday, December 29th. I could not pass up the opportunity to see a full show of this incredible band.
Opening with a great instrumental rendition of Jay-Z's 'Jigga What Jigga Who', the family band stirred up the packed Norva immediately. Randolph was definitely in the mood...huge smiles from ear to ear as he laid down a funky-fresh pedal steel sound. 'I Need More Love', a Randolph original, was incredible.
Other highlights: a cover of ZZ Top's 'La Grange' complete with a cornucopia of dancing honeys on stage (see pics); an instramental 'Billy Jean'; the bouncer who let me take some pics from the handi-zone!

Robert Randolph puts on an incredible show. I haven't seen him in about two years though.
Nice blog you've got here. Football, soccer and good music. Great combo.
