Lars Gullin: In concert

This is the way it sounded during many gigs in the period after the Bluesport session. Lars and Bernt in the front line, backed by Sjösten's delicate piano, Alke's solid bass and Norén's heavyhanded drumming.

Lars, uneven, opening forcefully but sort of fading away into the back towards the end of concerts, as the Methadone wore off and his chops grew tired. Bernt, always strong, and ready to lift the whole band and carry things to and end. Here he ends the concert with the rhythm section in Round 'bout Midnight.
