Gig at the Newcastle in Edmonton

[Robert]

First time playing this venue.
Some random photographer showed up and gave us his photos after and said we could use them.
This is a band I've not mentioned before. It's a typical cover band, just playing some pubs here and there for fun. We don't have gigs more than once every 2-3 months and that's fine by me.

I now have a GIbson Les Paul, Custom Shop 1960. Love this thing. I often use a PRS DGT SE too, for versatility (humbuckers against HUM, whammy bar for songs that need it).

Do you ever get nervous bringing a Custom Shop guitar to a gig?

That is a lovely Lester. I miss mine since I adopted it out to my son who lives in London (UK). I love the PRS DGT gut the neck is a little hefty for me. Very nice axes though, and good photos, too. What are some songs you cover?

No, I think they are meant to be played.

I'm in a woman-fronted cover band too. We do some of those same songs-- If It Makes You Happy, Exes and Ohs, We're supposed to do Hit Me With Your Best Shot, but I'll never get the solo, way too lazy to try learning it and probably couldn't play it anyhow.

That Lester is sweet.

 

[Alan]

That looks good. Do you have a YouTube link to a performance?

 

[Robert]

Hit me with your best shot - yeah I make up my own solo as the original is hard for me to play.
We don't have any youtube performances at this time.
Other songs are Sunglasses At Night (Corey Hart), Somebody, Cuts Like A Knife, One Night Love Affair, (Bryan Adams), Kryptonite (3 Doors Down), Call Me (Blondie), and my favourite - Radar Love (Golden Earring)!

Neil Giraldo is massively underrated.
