PGF rocked the Maple Leaf Monday Night, as they always do. June Yamagishi was killing on guitar, proving once again that he is one of the best in the world. Jeffery "Jellybean" Alexander was funky on the drums, spicing things up with some great latin rhythms throughout. He also used the double bass pedal sparingly and with great effect. Mark Pero on the Bass Guitar locked in with Jellybean all night and popped and slapped the bass with the energy of a madman. Jason Mingledorff played ripping solos on his tenor saxophone and also played tasty percussion at key moments. One of the best pieces they played was a tribute to the great Mardi Gras Indian Chief, Tootie Montana. They also played all of their hits, including the tune, "I Got the Blues Over You". John Gros, the leader of the band sang and played Hammond B-3 Organ impeccably well. They are a tight ensemble and are really becoming a New Orleans institution. They do it every Monday night over at the leaf, so if you haven't been yet, it is a must see show.
