Saw the show in LA last night. Miki and the guitarist did a good job for it being the first show and she was graceful and sounded solid. But the bassist needs to get back in the woodshed especially on the Lush material. He is as unprepared and played a lot of wrong notes/off time etc….on a couple songs it was cringe worthy…..no excuses. Reading off charts looking lost at times..:: Moose really should have manned up and got over his Phobia of flying for Miki and done this tour so a last min guy wasn’t having to step in. Though how last min was it? This guy should have the material memorized as clearly they know Moose would not go. Sorry but that’s just asinine. That said-this is you your basically wife/partner and you can’t do it for her? Sorry but that’s ridiculous and hurts the band. I think Miki deserves better. The guitarist (who is normally bass) did well and I commend them for hanging in but I felt it could have and should have been lights out better.. Wishing Miki well and I hope the bassist gets rid of the charts and actually memorizes the material. I just don’t get it. As a pro myself if it was my band that would not fly. Miki is being very cool and patient. The new single is beautiful and grand. I hope that Miki keeps going and that those around her step it up. She’s great. I admire her and hope she keeps ascending in spite of these things.
I missed it!....what a bone-head!
