There were four sets last night with 10-15 min intervals between each set the show started at 7:30pm and was meant to go to 11:30pm but didn't finish until 12:15am, nearly five hours worth.
The first set was The Song Project featuring Mike Patton and the gorgeous Sofia Rei on vocals and a guy called Jesse Harris who writes for and plays with Norah Jones. The songs covered a number of styles from salsa to hard rock, Patton's screaming during the heavier songs was awesome, Trevor Dunn's masterful playing of his double bass but Marc Ribot (guitar) and Joey Baron (drums) were the highlights of this set with Zorn getting into it with his conducting. The best song was the encore song 'Assassin's Bay' co-written by Sean Lennon, Patton, Rei & Harris.
The second set featured three parts: Illuminations, The Holy Visions and The Alchemist. Illuminations was a short set by Trevor Dunn, Kenny Wollesen & Stephen Gosling with Dunn's double bass playing the standout of this piano based trio. Next up was The Holy Visions an a capella group of five women. Their singing was ethereal & beautiful as they sometimes seemed to go into gregorian style chants.The last part was The Alchemist a five person group consisting of string instruments like violins & cello. It sounded good but would've been better within the confines of an orchestra.
The third set was Moonchild a hard rock/metal trio of Mike Patton, Trevor Dunn & Joey Baron playing their 6th and most recent album 'Templars: In Sacred Blood' in full accompanied by John Medeski on organ. This was the highlight for me just over The Song Project, the power these three create live is incredible. There is no guitarist in Moonchild but Dunn now on regular bass seems to play guitar lines so you don't even really notice. Baron's drumming was spectacular and Patton vocals were crazy from the full on screaming and blood curdling shrieking to deep chanting. This is the 7th time I've seen a Mike Patton band live from Faith No More to Mr. Bungle to Fantomas to Tomahawk and now thankfully I've seen a rare live performance from Moonchild who's 7th album recorded in January has been confirmed to be their last.
The fourth and final set started off with The Dreamers where Jamie Saft's electric piano, Kenny Wollesen's Vibraphone and Cyro Baptista's percussion were the standouts. Then came Electric Masada with Ikue Mori doing electronics, Marc Ribot’s guitaring again standing out and finally John Zorn got on his alto saxophone and let rip with his duck-strangling playing.
An amazing night watching some of the world’s finest musicians performing together in little old Adelaide for John Zorn’s first & last Australian tour.
These are the same Song Project & Moonchild sets from the Moers Festival in Germany last year that they played last night:

How could I ever see just a band live again? What there is only one band, there isn't like 30 of you rotating through numerous bands and you're not playing four sets over nearly five hours and there isn't intervals throughout etc?

Gozu wrote:For sure I couldn't believe Dunn played bass during all four sets too.
We were speaking to a couple of blokes next to us who worked for a radio station and they said they went all four nights and we asked them what Bladerunner (Zorn, Laswell, Lombardo) were like the night before and they said bloody loud and heavy and not being that familiar with him from Slayer or Fantomas said that Dave Lombardo guy is an incredible drummer.
I kind of regret not going to the Thursday night show too but couldn't really afford it, Patton who was there for the Cobra show got up and did a song with Bladerunner too. Here is a review of that show if you're interested.
