CURT CHAMBERS'S FRANKLIN BRIDGE
At the Grape Street - Philly (4/21/06)
Adam Blackstone and Curt Chambers!
At
11:35pm, Curt Chambers and his group, Franklin Bridge, started their set with
the rock energy blasting of the N-E-R-D song "Brain", featuring lead
vocals by the lead guitar star Curt Chambers!! The second song was an all-out
funk-rock jam with some powerful drumming by Darryl and percussionist Aaron,
ear-throbbing bass riffs by Wayne, standout synthesizer work by Adam Blackstone
and guitar madness by Ian and Curt! "Let It Go" was a nice ballad in
the vein of hard rock. Curt was left alone on the stage to perform "Love's
Fool" on guitar and vocals.....his vocals are almost as good as his insane
guitar riffing!
CURT CHAMBERS IS A BAD
MOFO!!!!
"Walk Out" was a good ballad, but better was the electrifying
performance of "Another One", especially when the band went TOTALLY
OFF (after the second chorus) into some insane jamming! The drummer Darryl was
the spotlight after that song and before the band went into the full rock blast
of "Rock With You". (WARNING: "BEWARE OF A YOUNG BLACK GUY NAMED CURT WITH A LEAD
GUITAR...BEWARE 'CUZ HE WILL BLOW YA MIND!!!!) The song featured the melody of
Funkadelic's "Cosmic Slop", a piece of Outkast's "Hey Ya!"
and a first verse & chorus of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy"!!! The
band performed a five-minute version of Prince's "Purple Rain",
before jumping into the punishing force of "Incredible", featuring
the lead guitar slaying of Curt!!! The show was over at 12:20am.
