How often do you get to hear a complete Beatles album performed live in a homey setting? Flesh, bone, strings, skin and wood vibrating the air inches from your seat?
Even in our digital age of high-tech stereo and PA Systems, you can never replace an old-fashioned acoustic performance. Is a performance necessarily better because of amplification? Or have we been desensitized due to the symptoms of our industrial world of the last 100+ years.
Interesting questions to consider. As many of you know, I'm not an extremist. I just like to shake things up and consider all the ways to present music: electric and acoustic or both at a single show.
After all, music was strictly acoustic for thousands of years, before electricity came along.
At a memorial service for the much-loved local musician Nigel Russell, his thoughts on this subject were shared:
"One of the big differences between acoustic and electric music is that in the world of electric players often quantity IS quality...it is how the players and audience get pumped up. Acoustic players depend on the nuance of lyric, voice and melody for intensity because their volume is a fixed amount."

Review from the show:
"In my continuing quest to discover the Austin music scene I was over at my local corner store the other day picking up and ice and Chocolate milk for my post training recovery bath and I saw poster outside for Rubber Soul Live."

"So I just have to email and let you know how much my wife Penny and I enjoyed Rubber Soul the other night at Threadgill's. We have enjoyed all your shows, but you really took it to another level with this last one -- make it several levels -- into the stratosphere. It was an amazingly tight, creative, and astoundingly well done treatment of one of my very favorite Beatles albums -- I run out of adjectives! I especially was knocked out by Jamie Ivison.
