      I went to a concert of four metal bands and one of the undercard bands was Avatar. I knew of them and enjoyed their music, but they stole the show with how much fun they had on stage and with the crowd. It means so much more when the people there to entertain you clearly are enjoying doing it. In contrast, I saw Bob Dylan play the same venue and he came off like he felt he had blessed us with his presence - never thanked or even acknowledged the crowd and at the end, he walked up front, looked to the side, put a hand out in a flashy pose, turned and walked off stage. I would love to see Avatar again - wouldn't go see Dylan if the tickets were free (which is sad because I love his work).

      it's difficult to conclude that that's what she did, because she was already looking to the crowd and smiling even before the guy shouted "yeah". Then she briefly looked at the piano and looked back the same way she was doing before. Even this whole idea that she repeated the lick just because of the "yeah" is kind of a stretch, as that could have been on her plans to do anyway, regardless of the guy shouting.

They're all in that auditorium to watch her "play" and get to feel like they're "playing" and get to join in on "play" with her and the piano is kinda secondary..."

      my vote is want as hard as you can, because it looks like she of burned a lifetime of want and poured it into piano.
      she actually is a piano now.
      thats fucking success right there.

    *add a half beat so the audience stays in time*
    Such an amazing talent to be able to seemlessly adjust like that without anyone actually noticing. Also speaks to her impovising abilities since this was so clearly maticulalously practised.

    i believe Hiromi's best moments are those when she plays piano, and when the public doesn't clap along so she can play.

    • @rogacz25
      @rogacz25 ปีที่แล้ว +71

      If you were sitting in the audience it wouldn’t sound off beat. It’s only because the mic is on stage, so the sound has to travel to the audience, they clap on the beat, and then the sound of the clap has to come all the way back to the stage. Sound travels pretty slow. The audience only has to be about 15 yards away for this to happen.

    I was lucky enough to hear Hiromi play live in 2014 - front row seat, behind the piano, in a stand on the stage(!). She had this same level of fun and intensity for what I guess was a couple of hours. When she came back for the second encore I felt kinda sorry for her, as she was clearly exhausted, but she still gave it her all and knocked it out the park anyway. An absolute olympian of musicianship.

      I think it starts with knowing what key it is in first. Then you just gotta know the scale. Chords are the last thing you can identify. Often melodies can be pulled if you have an anchor note( what I like to call it) like the 1st of the scale or just C in general.
