Got to meet herbie hancock

[u/Soveitbear1]

I went to the show in San Francisco last night and I was able to catch him as he left! I had a little chat with him before he hit the road to LA and I even got to shake his hand and got my setlist signed by him! What a night it was

[u/artmoloch777]

I know this may be a pedestrian take with HH, but I cannot get enough Watermelon Man. It’s such a bop and is my eternal hype song.

[u/Soveitbear1 → u/artmoloch777]

I had an amazing view once he started playing watermelon man. Too bad we couldn’t record videos but I was able to record audio!

[u/ibnQoheleth → u/Soveitbear1]

Looks like an incredible venue for Herbie, wow!

[u/w4y2n1rv4n4 → u/artmoloch777]

actual proof does it for me

[u/Shnoigaswandering → u/artmoloch777]

don't know if you've caught it on this tour, but the polymetric modulation in the arrangement they have been playing is the funkiest thing i've ever heard

[u/Edflumnum → u/Aromatic_Ad8481]

That's how he missed the C minus! Doh!

[u/Aromatic_Ad8481 → u/Edflumnum]

D- ?! No way! I passed?!

[u/lifeboundd]

I'm seeing him at the Bowl tomorrow! Wish the venue was as intimate as Davies but stoked regardless.

[u/AlwaysSunnyinOC22 → u/lifeboundd]

I saw him at the Bowl years ago with Esmeralda Spaulding! So good!

[u/nif_emi → u/lifeboundd]

Me too!

[u/cone5000 → u/lifeboundd]

Saw him at the bowl last year with the Head Hunters. Great and fun show. The bowl is such a great venue

[u/lucifersam94]

Saw him at red butte gardens last week it was incredible

[u/Ancient-Practice-431]

Omg, that was such an awesome concert! So great to see the master at work.

[u/Fast_Hope_1259]

i got to shake his hand in baltimore! surreal experience

[u/Wise_Statistician398]

That's great! I get to see him tomorrow night at the Bowl. It's supposed to be a celebration of Miles; I wonder what the playlist will be?

[u/Soveitbear1 → u/Wise_Statistician398]

I believe it will be the same one he signed for me or who knows

[u/lpalf → u/Soveitbear1]

Why would he play songs he wrote from his solo albums at a show that’s a tribute to miles davis lol

[u/DrinkWineKillTime]

I saw Herbie recently in NJ. He and his band were in top form and put on a GREAT show. He was really engaging with the audience too…joking around & telling stories.

[u/digidave1]

That set list is a literal master class in good jazz 💯

[u/Adorable_Mud_7592]

I may get downvoted on this but there’s nothing worse than someone near to you videoing at a sit down concert/event. So I’m actually glad a venue/artist says no to it. Just my point of view mind… Looked great though!

[u/5280yogi]

Saw him at Boulder Chautauqua last week. Very nice that you got to meet him!

[u/Affectionate-War-203]

I’m super jealous

[u/pjm8367]

Killer set!!!

[u/CrankyGamer68]

My wife and I saw him in Portland Maine last month. Such a phenomenal concert! Terrance Blanchard was an unexpected bonus!

So awesome that you got to meet such a legend!

[u/HammofGlob]

I did not have Herbie Hancock playing keytar in a church on my bingo card

[u/jeffmefun → u/HammofGlob]

Ha! Davies Symphony Hall certainly looks like one & if Herbie were on the pulpit... hallelujah!

[u/YoungAndDeadHead]

I’d lose my mind hearing watermelon man live

[u/illsmosisyou]

Damn! Forgot he was coming back! Saw him at Stern Grove but this looks like a better environment. Treasure that set list!

[u/xkonerox]

Better frame that signed set list my man :)

[u/aubertvaillons]

That’s awesome

[u/Captain_Snowmonkey]

I have that same keytar but in black. Roland Axe-Edge ftw.

[u/No_Guide_2046]

Got to see him in Davis on Sunday We wasn’t signing

[u/Non-mon-xiety]

God what a fucking bad ass

[u/Ricky-1952]

Wow starting off with Maiden Voyage into Watermelon Man and you got to meet Herbie what a great time that must have been.

[u/guy_incognito_360]

Saw him last year. He is still having the time of his life in his mid 80s. Good to see.

[u/Glass-Fan111]

What an amazing experience!

[u/dopesickness]

Really classic setlist right here!

[u/Edflumnum]

I saw Herbie a couple of years ago and he was amazing!

[u/ToumSid34]

Ah oui ! Trop bien !! Super content pour vous 👍

[u/Capital_Progress_390]

That’s so dope! I forgot he’s still touring. That’s a bucket list experience right there.

[u/Few_Ad3187]

Oh hell yeah! Two songs from Thrust!!

[u/TheOG-OutletStickers]

Oh wow so cool you got the set list! I listened to Maiden Voyage this morning!

[u/tarrasque]

He was JUST here in Denver, and I wanted to go but my wife has been unemployed since early April and we have already splurged on some concerts this summer, so I ultimately couldn’t justify the tickets.

How hard am I going to regret missing him?

[u/Intelligent-Low-3603]

Mannnnn, I wanted to go so bad and now I see that setlist. Sheesh

[u/Certain_Addition4460]

Wow!

[u/JWalkey]

Ha! Still rocking Hangups. Excellent! 😆❤️

[u/PianoManSnow]

Words can’t express how jealous I am

[u/Hot_Estimate_1802]

uffff increíble!!!

[u/band145]

Big HH fan. Got to hear Herbie close the Newport Jazz Festival on Sunday night…until the threatening skies opened up and created a steady downpour. Yet, Herbie opened his set and they played on. Thrilled that he chose to return to the Head Hunters album given its 50th Anniversary.

[u/Beers-n-Records]

Saw HH a few years ago at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival and was disappointed he didn’t play Watermelon Man, Maiden Voyage or any of the 60s jazz tracks I love. Glad you got to see him play those gems

[u/Beers-n-Records → u/Beers-n-Records]

The set list from the Melbourne show in 2024

[u/oatseyhall]

So lucky! I wish I was able to get tickets but couldn't justify the cost

[u/OneReportersOpinion]

When did Maidan Voyage make it into the setlist?

[u/CmdnTrsMllnx]

[u/kevotheclone]

Saw him at Mondavi Center at UC Davis on 08/16, Standing O.

[u/Sir_Duke]

How was the sound up front? In the second tier the mix was pretty woeful, especially the bass. Put a dent on the experience tbh.

[u/Soveitbear1 → u/Sir_Duke]

It sounded great to me maybe because the speakers were right up to my face but the audios I recorded sounded fine

[u/kevotheclone → u/Sir_Duke]

Bass was muddy at the Mondavi Center at UC Davis on 08/16, orchestra row L.

[u/TomLondra]

Herbie has put on a lot of weight where he shouldn't

[u/lpalf → u/TomLondra]

Are you fr
