already do that half a decade ago? The first loop I heard came from a Led
Zepplin track, and one that's been overused and out of 'fashion' for quite
a while. Granted GN are a little more aggrssive than JJ or EMF, but it
didn't seem to do anything for me."

Lots of positive response from the crowd for Grassy Knoll, but all those who
came saw and were not that impressed were kicking it in the lounge...along
with the SF Jazz Fest people interestingly enough. I agree that it's been
done and done better. The rest of the show was great although I've seen
better Mingus Amungus.
