      Agreed, in particular as lots of the FTB versions are even better than the original album versions. Sound quality is absolutely great and one can hear the intimate atmosphere of the FTB recording sessions. This is how music should be! Would love to have records available of all recordings.

    Holy shit those lungs of Theon. Just two days ago I saw them in Hamburg and at one point he soloed. And no shit, the sounds he could produce with a tuba were just insane. From playing multiple notes simultaneously to making it sound like a tuba. I had no idea a tuba could even make those sounds. And he just keeeeeeept going and going, I guess it ended up being around 10 minutes of him playing solo non-stop. Just insane.

    Shabaka Hutchins (tenor) is usually considered the star of this band, and he's great - but it absolutely depends upon Theon Cross, grunting away on the Big Horn.
    What a monster! What a pair of lungs!
    Decades ago, I saw Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy, and he made this introduction: "And now, the man with the Lips Of Steel, playin' that tuba all night long - BOB STEWART!"
    That's Theon, too. The whole band's sound reminds me a bit of a slimmed-down version of Henry Threadgill's Very Very Circus.
