I almost feel bad for the guy.

There's a 'sultry' jazz version of Martha & The Vandellas' Heatwave on his channel. It's a hard song to get wrong (even the whiteified versions by The Who and The Jam have some charm), but he and the band seem to have completely forgotten the entire tune. Then there're the bongos thrown in for that classy touch.
Is it possible to take out a restraining order on Blues Lawyer so he can't get within 100 feet of a guitar or a stage?

I love how the out-of-key solo at 2:08 is preceded by the video edit "Rob Freeman - guitar", so we know who to thank. He really lights up the guitar at 2:19.

Anyone else find themselves scanning the faces of his bandmates? I keep expecting to spot wincing, grimaces and other displays of consternation.
It seems Rob has recruited the best poker faces on the East Coast.

I hope Father Time does not read this lest it goes to his head, but I'd rather listen to his stupid barely coherent, tuneless, hippy bullshit than rfreeman's torturing of the classics. I am not convinced he has ever listened to any of the songs he covers. Those music stands are always there because he plays like the music only exists on the page. His solos always kill what little momentum the performances have as he plinks around the in the same general vicinity on the guitar. The Beagles' performances are truly too terrible to be entertaining in any way without the context of rfreeman's insanely inflated sense of worth.
rfreeman lives the SHiTE dream of having the expensive gear and playing "real" music, while letting his ego free himself from ever having to practice or develop his talent.
Father Time is delusional too, but at least he tries to promote other artists no matter how shitty they are. rfreeman loooves the smell of his own farts.

Are we sure that his "band" aren't ex-clients of his that owe him money, or that he has some kind of dirt on that would land them in the slammer if he talked? It's just hard to imagine any musician of any talent level willingly playing with him.

Yeah, that was the same theory I had and mentioned several pages back. Sorry. Must have fogged out after watching Rob's latest adventure in musical flatulence.

Years from now, The Beagles will most likely land an appearance on Songs In The Key Of Z - Volume II. We were there at ground zero.

rfreeman explains the only reason he has never been kicked out of a band:
"Never really quit a band though some naturally ended when we went our separate ways after being students together.
But I have been the leader of pretty much every band I have been in, so more about managing around others departures."

So he's led several bands over the years and the end result of all that experience and leadership is....this??

There is no fucking way Roger Waters could pull off something like "Bip Bop".
rfreeman: "Wonder what % or folks who denigrate Bip Bop could pull off the kind of finger picking Paul does on it.
I expect those who can pull it off, and therefore can tell what he is doing there, rate it more highly.
Not saying it's Segovia level stuff, but it's not a simple song to play compared to most rock, and Bip Bop link takes it to another level."

We have to be grateful that clueless Freeman didn't turn up in blackface.
