...band, a progressive metal quintet, is moved up to the second slot on Day One. As I take the stage and look out on 3,000 soggy revelers, an electric charge runs through me. Literally. The amps are not properly grounded, and my fingers on the fret board feel like tongues on the posts of nine-volt batteries. The Korean stage crew shrugs its apologies, and we start our set. The rain reaches a crescendo in our second song but the audience's spirits aren't dampened. Heads bang, a few brave souls surf the crowd, and we manage...
...tones and swinging, melodious style elevated the upright bass from a reliable rhythm setter to a sophisticated starring player; in his sleep; in Indianapolis, Ind. On Brown's first day in New York City, in 1945, he won a place in Dizzy Gillespie's famously fast-paced, tuneful bebop quintet.

It even matters that the most recent London recording of Jesus Christ Superstar replaces the phrase...
Jamming to “Only in Dreams,” the band left the stage and left their fans screaming for more. The quintet soon came back for their encore. After playing “Buddy Holly,” one of their most famous singles from their first album, they ended the show with a grand finale of “Surf Wax America.” Cuomo and Shriner left their guitar and bass in front of the amps in a wash of feedback as the band departed, this time for good. The crowd, on the other...
