Its not overrated and he has at least a few albums, so its not the same 5 or 6 songs every night. Also, its not 30 god damn years, its 11 he's been out there. I'm not a huge fan of sax music, but this guy was damn good, drew a large crowd and was the perfect mood music to hear in Vegas.
absolutely overrated. He plays the same 5,6 songs every night in Fremont. He may be good at playing them, but who wouldn't after playing the same 6 god damn songs for 30 years.
Boring, cliche, pentatonic blah blah blah... squeals/squeaks, too much reverb, too much delay. Listen to some Coltrane instead. Coltrane or any other respectable musician actually plays with other people, not pre-recorded boner jams.
His nickname should be HoTCaRl... for obvious reasons.
Carl Ferris is my favorite thing about Freemont St. I've been to Las Vegas twice and have to listen to him play. I never knew I would love the sound of one person playing anything before I saw him. I had to get the CD they had called "All Blown Out" if you get a chance buy it you can find places online by doing a search of him. The CD is well worth the money I play it all the time.
I just caught the guy in the middle of the street in a pink suit, looking a bit clownish. He played a song for about 30 seconds and then cut it off. None of the songs seemed to have a structured ending.
Completely mind-blowing tone. Best performance I've ever seen in Las Vegas, by a long shot.
Dude, do you work at the Gold Nugget and take your smoke breaks near Ferris every night or something? Cuz I see you bagging on every Carl Ferris video there is. Dude probably makes more cash in his brandy glass in an hour than you make all night and this is how you get back at him. I'm sure he's got more than 6 songs on the CDs he's made. What songs u got, bud?
Street performers don't usually grab my attention, but Carl Ferris is an exception. I saw him on Freemont Street like 2 years ago and i still do a youtube search for him whenever I want to hear an epic saxaphone jam.
