Had the great pleasure of getting to see Blast II: The Shockwave at Kansas University's Lied Center on Saturday night. Excellent show, similar to the first version, yet different enough to make it a new experience. Amazing talent and musicianship by the performers. I highly recommend you catch the show if it is near.

For you equipment-files out there, three tubists played Yamaha 621S horns, presumed to be BBb. Yamaha is the corporate sponsor, hence all percussion and brass, and likely the woodwinds, were Yamaha. The tubas tended to get buried in a lot of spots, unsure why they chose not to use a contra-bass horn (bugle). The only negative was that they also used a keyboard synthesizer to fill play the bass parts. Nonetheless excellent show.
