Robert Randolph & the Family Band — "Ain't Nothing Wrong With That"
Then the ladies evacuate and the Randolphs get back to putting on the best live show in the country.
I've waxed rhapsodic about these guys before--when Randolph & Fam. played Nissan Pavilion, I was there--but the New Year's show was less about the peak than about the sustain. (They played for two and a half hours. Which is, literally, five times the duration of their "we're opening for...Switchfoot?" set in September.) Wednesday's band was uncharacteristically glutted with guitarists--two in addition to Randolph, one of whom helped on the keys in the unusual absence of Jason Crosby--an unnecessary overcrowding, but then the Randolphs have always been about, you know, inclusion. Danyel Morgan, Robert's funkier-than-Jesus bassist-cousin, led a typically frenetic workout on "I Need More Love" (celebrating shortly thereafter with a sizable blunt). And if his voice sounded a bit the worse for wear, his stratospheric croon never slips too far below mindblowing.
The group covered Erykah Badu & the Roots ("You Got Me"), riffed on Michael Jackson ("Rock with You"), and closed with a nice medley of "Whole Lotta Love," "Ain't Nothin' Wrong with That," and "Voodoo Chile." Is it a constant struggle for Robert Randolph not to turn every song into "Voodoo Chile"? Yes, and the strain's starting to show. But heavens to Betsy it's a small price to pay.
