Yesterday I played a little set at the Tel Aviv Folk Club, and I think, this is the first time I don’t feel bad about the mistakes I made. I no longer expect to play without them, I guess.
Here is the full set (just for friends and family ), I’m not making this video public, but I’m also not hiding from the responsibility
Only listened to the first few songs so far, but stunning as always. You seem more relaxed on stage these days too - more movement, more facial expression, you seem more involved with the music and not just with the mechanics of playing.
Impressive as always! Agree with Paul that you are looking more comfortable on stage than the other videos of yours that I’ve seen. Really liked Day Tripper… only had time to watch the first half so far, but will be back later to see the rest.
I only have time right now to listen to you first song and then the intro to your next, dedicated to Rolling Stones fans I will most certainly listen to the rest.
What strikes me is how much more of you there is in the sounds you’re making. I can hear/feel some flamboyance and an assured, solid reliability and a confident connection you have with your music and your guitar. There’s more of you reaching out into the audience, that’s magic. You meld and blend - man, guitar, music, an alchemy that leaves me spellbound Alexey.
I will most certainly return when I have more time to enjoy.
