Gig in Berlin, Halloween, 1994 - Lucky Strike Club
Screamin’Jay Hawkins - piano, vocal; Allen Gaz Gaskell - guitar, tenor sax; Bob Hardy - keyboards; Tommy White - bass; Steve Grant - drums.
Half Full Glass Of Wine is the type of song you come across rarely with its half speed, double riffing magic. Kevin’s vocals float through the air like a magic carpet ride through an aural wonderland, the guitars dual each other in a call and response frenzy, which all leads up to a beast of a solo that holds you by the soul galloping away in oblivion.
Half Full Glass Of Wine comes accompanied by a video directed by creative minds Special Problems (Cut Off Your Hands, Mercy Arms) who has created the perfect trippy realm for you to get lost in. Hummingbirds flutter around a sumo wrestler, monkeys bounce off of cannons and dance upon their fiery discharge, dogs jump at floating ships on the horizon like possessed beasts, and more.
All in all, a fascinating visual and auditory treat.
In these infamous Paul Masson outtakes, Orson tries to deliver his lines while totally tanked.
While scenes such as these are amusing, we here at GoGoKitty’s Wine Secrets stand for responsible drinking always. Enjoy wine and its pleasant effects, but please do not drink to excess. Know your limits.
