The show began with “Voodoo Mama” and a couple of other funk songs like “She” and “Reason to Believe”. Harry and the band then started to play a few jazz tunes which were unreal. In one song almost all the band lined up at the front of the stage and took turns playing solos. First, Dan Miller played a solo on the trumpet, followed by Dave Schumacher and Ned Goold each on the saxophone, Mark Mullins and Lucien Barbarin each on the trombone, and finally Harry doing his own trumpet solo. In fact, throughout the night, as well as playing the organ and piano, Harry also played the drums (several times), lead guitar, bass guitar (several times), and the trumpet.

Actually, when Harry introduced the band he told the crowd that every member of the band was a multi-instrument musician, which was quite evident in Lucien Barbarin’s case as he probably played 4 or 5 instruments. What really surprised me though was that when Harry went to play the drums, Raymond Weber went down and played keyboards (unbelievably well too). While I’m on the subject of talent, Jonathan DuBose was also fantastic, I swear he could make that guitar talk.

About half way through the concert Harry stopped to talk to the crowd, although it was more like a 20 minute stand-up routine, as he told us about his and the band’s “adventures” so far in Australia. The day of the concert Harry had attempted to go surfing on the Gold Coast, a very popular tourist destination in Australia. He had little success though. He and the band also went to a theme park on the Gold Coast called Dreamworld. The purpose of this visit was to go on a new ride called the Tower of Terror, which is supposed to be the tallest ride in the world. All the band went on the ride several times, with the exception of Jonathan DuBose, who after the first time was feeling sick.

Anyway, after Harry had finished talking to the crowd, he and the band went on to play more funk songs including “Here Comes the Big Parade”. During one song Harry was playing drums and began a big solo, then Raymond Weber came and joined him, so with the two of them on the drums it sounded unreal. Not long after this Harry and the band got a little gospel and played a funky version of “Just a Closer Walk with Thee”, with Harry on bass guitar. Actually, I was very impressed with Harry’s ability on the bass guitar, especially when he and Jonathan DuBose would play duelling guitars, each trying to sound better than the other. Finally, the night came to a close when the band played “Whisper Your Name”, and then “Trouble” for the encore.
