Snarky Puppy’s second night at the Variety Playhouse was stellar, as usual. The enthusiastic crowd was treated to a special Ready Wednesday encore featuring a couple of special tricks. First, Bill Laurance, who penned the tune, opened it up with a dark, gothy Shofukan intro leading into the tune. Then, at about the seven minute point, Mark Lettieri crushes an extended bluesy, psychedelic guitar solo. Third and unbeknownst to much of the crowd Robert “Sput” Searight was on the drum. The tune closes out with Bill’s beautiful outro which is also featured on his solo album “Live at Union Chapel” which is a gem. Enjoy the video here:
