Avenue G and Jeff Sack are both part of Rich's backup band (I justWhat was the name of the venue where Rich Mullins performed in Newberg, Oregon??
saw the concert in Newburg, OR a couple of days ago). I'd give
both and "OK", but nothing really new or special, but the sound was
really lousy (small, unsophisticated PA in a big, echoey room -
anything detailed turned into instant mud).
The concert overall was great (if you ignored the sound quality -
i used to run sound quite a bit, so if it's off, it bothers me -
probably shouldn't, but it does.). I'm a big Jimmy A fan (i was the
only one who clapped when Rich announced him as a founding member
of Vector), but his stuff didn't come off well at all without a
regular band (Rich & Beaker backed him up, and they clearly weren't comfortable playing his style of music) and decent sound - it was
way too complex for the situation.
Rich was great - i'd never seen him live before. He's completely unpretentious - the exact opposite of a lot of the current big
set, big lights, bit costume tours. He came out in a faded t-shirt
and ugly, baggy shorts that kept slipping down - no shoes, socks.
He was great both singing and talking - he was really open and
honest, which made him easy to like.
