Paul Gilbert

Although his shredding isn't as perfect as it once was, the amount of groove and feeling he gained over the years clearly makes Paul a better musician and showman than he ever was!!

Although I never got quite into his previous album 'Stone Uphill Puhsing Man' I thoroughly enjoy(d) 'I can destroy'.

With this in mind I immediately bought tickets when they became available. Expecting nothing less than an amazing show from my favorite though aging virtuoso, I was blown away by his highly improbable finesse, accuracy, speed but most importantly groove and feeling.

Opening with an instrumental medley constisting of about 30 songs, spanning over 30 years of songwriting and lasting over 40 minutes couldn't have been more awesome. A good selection of melodic, fast and slow, shred and emotional songs. Confirming precicely how I know and remember Paul.
He put a smile on my face the moment he entered the stage and that smile didn't go away a single moment until all the way back home. A very rare skill.

If you haven't seen him... do it! Just... do it!
