@boingboomchak Glad you enjoyed it! David and Joe gave an exceptionally fine performance that night and we were thrilled to be able to capture it.

tuktuktok...

The entire set was videotaped. Three songs from the set were edited and a small run of DVDs were created for David. These DVDs were sold only at his live appearances. At this time there are no plans to release the other songs from that concert. I'm glad you like the video, we enjoyed making it! - Jeff

How are you calling this Instrument,that Sancious is playing? (I mean not the Keyboard alone)

[jknappster]

David is using a breath controller - a MIDI triggering device, connected to his Yamaha MOTIF synthesizer that enables him to create additional sounds (other than the primary sound event) when any key is played. When David plays certain notes on the keyboard AND blows on the mouthpiece simultaneously, the device triggers an event. It senses when he is blowing, the velocity of his breath, and when he stops.

This guy is one of the most underrated musicians I've ever heard. He's bloody fantastic.

David Sancious is a national treasure.

The first time I heard Sancious was on One more car one more rider by Eric Clapton, where he plays the Hammond as well as using the breath controller. I love the sound that it makes, so soothing. Try to watch his solo on Wonderful Tonight and reptile, sooo good!

I always love the first time you listen to something new it blows one away every time.

This is so beautiful!!!!!!!!! Love David, and how about Joe Bonadio on drums? Great performance from both of them.

david ist einfach nur der hammer…

Fantastic stuff. I love the sounds David makes. I've always been particularly fond of the work he did with Sting along with Dominic Miller and Vinnie Colaiuta. Those four musicians are the perfect combination and I was delighted when they reformed a couple of years ago and that they've continued to play various one-off shows since. I often wonder what a new album from the four of them would sound like now - I'm sure it'd be brilliant, just as Ten Summoner's Tales was.

Jeff: True musical passion, genius, and beauty. A thousand thanks for preserving that night and for posting some of it here. DS completely transcends genre. If you are his biggest fan then I've been standing right behind you since '76. Best of luck with your documentary project.

@MaksymLos Among other applications, the breath controller also let's you mimick the slight nuances of say a saxophone, trumpet, or flute controlling the brightness, contour and natural vibrato of a certain sound much like a flute or sax player would and adds to the realism of mimicked wind intrument patches.
