The Fusion Reactor #83 - No Waiting

Doubles... Seeing Double... I didn't have a really good name for this show. I don't even have a good way to explain it, other than by examples. Like this: This band has two guitar players. This one has two keyboard players. Understand? See, it's not that complicated. Probably the most common one would be double guitarists, but I fit in a nice variety of stuff. The playlist:

Kansas Journey From Mariabronn 07:56
Kerry Livgren is a guitarist and a keyboardist, and the band has one of each of those (Rich Williams and Steve Walsh, respectively) so it's kind of a double double.

Gongzilla Mezzanine 04:14
Bon Lozaga and Allan Holdsworth play the guitars on this one.

Glass Hammer Farewell To Shadowlands 07:30
Steve Babb and Fred Schendel double up on the keyboards... and they play just about every other instrument on the album too.

Kenso PM 07:07
Two keyboarders with names I can't pronounce.

moe. Rebubula 19:22
Two guitarists, and two drummers. One of the drummers (Jim Loughlin) is quite the instrumentalist. That's him on the xylophone you hear at the beginning, but in addition to that and drums, I've seen him do some guitar, bass, and (if my memory serves) flute.

Sonny Rollins Tenor Madness 12:16
John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins both play tenor sax on this 12-minute workout.

Uz Jsme Doma Uprostred Slov (In the Middle of Words) 09:02
There were two sax players (one alto and one tenor) in the first incarnation of this band.

John Scofield & Pat Metheny One Way To Be 05:49
If you didn't know these guys play guitar... You do now.

King Crimson FraKctured 09:06
More double guitars - I love the way they lock together on this stuff.

Pat Metheny and Jim Hall All Across The City 07:36
Pat still plays guitar, as above. So does Jim.

Don Caballero Slice Where You Live Like Pie 05:09
Ian Williams and Mike Banfield are locked together on guitars here, but in a different way than the King Crimson.

Miles Davis Tatu (Part 2) (Calypso Frelimo) 06:32
There are THREE guitarists on this one. I'm not sure about the rest of the band, I think I counted at least two percussionists in addition to the drummer.

Volta do Mar 7/1000 03:37
Two bass players... yep this group is one of the few to have that feature. One plays the five string and is kind of in the normal bass role, and the other plays leads on a 6-string bass.

Salem Hill All Fall Down 07:14
Kind of a double Kerry Livgren situation where I believe both Carl Groves and Mike Dearing play both keys and guitars in this song.

Sunny Day Real Estate The Rising Tide 05:38
Another band with two guitarists closes it out on a nice peaceful happy note.

Sorry, I don't know if 'entendre' is the right spelling. Otherwise that might have made a good title.
