i had the pleasure of stepping into the time machine on Saturday 9/7. I used to see Barrence and the original Savages when I was in my 20's. I once saw him walk up a wall, amongst other mind boggling moves back in the early 80's. It had been about 12 years since i last saw him on stage or off. He hasn't changed much in that time. He hasn't lost any strength in his voice, though he isn't quite as wild physically on stage as he once was. He still holds the audience in the palm of his hand from the first note, with his self effacing demeanor in between songs, and his possessed singing, shouting and screaming during each song. He becomes the song, massaging it gently and then going full throttle as called for. Now reunited with original Savages Peter Greenberg and Phil Lenker along with Tom Quatrull and Andy Jody, they are a force to be reckoned with.
