We Thought Of It First: Reid Genauer Solo
Lifted from an October 2007 interview with our very own Ace:
AC: Let me switch gears again…I thought the Gathering of the Vibes solo set you played in 2002, if I may cloak my objectivity here for a minute, was one of the most fucking perfect acoustic sets of music I’ve ever heard. Do you have these yens to do get out and do some more solo shows?
RG: Yeah, I like it. And that is a show that I’m proud of — it was a defining moment. Kind of like an “I’m here to stay” kind of thing. That might be why it was what it was; there was a lot riding on it. Yes, I like it, and I’d like to do more of it, whether it’s incorporating it into the AoD set or solo shows or whatever. In fact, it’s something I discussed recently, and I would like to do more of it.
In the comments section, myself and Paul Robinson (Owner of The Stone Church) chime in to comment on the interview and express their hopes to see a Reid Solo tour in the future.
