Comment:

Both Rod Piazza and Kim Wilson are great musicians but they have different
approaches. Rod might give the same show if you are lucky enough to see him
two days in a row. But through the years he has recorded 40 albums and he
always highlights his newest one on his live gigs. I am lucky if I get to
see the Flyers once a year. And every time the set list is totally
different.

Kim Wilson has released five albums under his own name. They are all
masterpieces but he does not need to promote his newest release simply
because there hasn't been one for six years. I enjoy Kim Wilson shows partly
because of the surprises but even more so Rod Piazza because of the
professionalism.
