At
4:45pm, Curt Chambers & the Bits of Clay started their set with Curt
Chambers doing a little freestyle rapping...after his rapping, the band did the
first song of the set "Incredible", a serious funk-rock tune with
good rhythm guitar riffs by Gabriel, solid funk bass lines by Dwayne, and good
vocalizations by lead vocalist/guitarist Curt & backing vocalist Jamie! The
highlights of the song were some fiery lead guitar soaring by Curt (including some
Jimi Hendrix style of high-enery guitar riffing....reminiscent of the ending to
Hendrix's song "Ezy Rider") and tight, tight drumming by Jay! The
second song (I don't know any of the song titles, except the first one) was as
funky and rock-tinged as the first, with Curt stating that he was George Benson
in his former life, as he was playing and singing guitar chords! The third song
was about a past long-distance relationship that Curt had. The last song
featured more of the Grade A lead guitar fire of Curt and more of those tight
drum riffs by Jay! The show was over at 5:15pm.
