We're playing our first "gig" this Sunday. We're closing a 5 band benefit with a long set. We're supplying the PA, so we have to be there bright and early to set up. It's going to be a long - but fun day!

Our rookie singer is already a little nervous, but I think he'll be OK once he feels the rush. I told him that the set will go by in what seems like 5 minutes. He'll see.

I'll post some pics and an after-action report.

Sounds cool Spanky. See if you can get someone to video a snippet of your performance with a digital or phone cam.....

Yeah, a little video would be awesome. Have great fun at the gig! R

Hmmmm...............................

My wife will probably be the photographer, and she's a charter member technophobe......

We'll see if I can talk her into some video with my camera.

Spanker featuring "Big Johnson on top of the Beer". Good luck!

Spanker featuring "Big Johnson on top of the Beer". Good luck!

Oh, the jealous looks I get with my "Big Johnson"..........................

It's a terrible burden I carry......................

 

[Robert]

Well, personally, I'd be staring and drooling all over the Germino amp a lot more than over the Johnson... (hey that's an outboard engine brand!) (no offense meant!)

The Johnson will do nicely for this gig. In the future, I intend to A/B the Johnson with the Germino. I just don't want to complicate things further with two amps on our maiden voyage - unkown soundman and all. As the "Chief Cat Herder", my plate is full as it is with a new singer and rhythm guitar player.

We'll work on dialing in the specifics when we do our own gigs. I can assure you all the my wonderful Germino will feature prominently.

Great news G-Man! What's in your setlist?

 

[duhvoodooman]

Hey, good luck with the 1st gig this Sunday, Spanks! Knock 'em dead!! R

 

[Plank_Spanker]

If we play as well as we did at last night's practice, we're going to kill!

We're cocked, locked, and ready to rock!

 

[t_ross33]

Good luck Spank-man! I'm primed (a couple Molson Canadians and some Steve Earle Live) and off to a gig myself tonight.

ROCK OUT WITH YOUR SOCK OUT!R

I retract my claim of blasphemy & offer up a single malt (neat--add a drop or two if you wish to have it blossom) in your honor Warren!!

A quick after action report:

We killed!

We really nailed it! Our rookie singer dug deep and literally wowed everybody - band included. We had the crowd on their feet for the entire set.

After seven long months of being off a stage, this felt great!

We closed behind 4 other bands, and that was incentive to really "put it out there". I haven't had my "Big Johnson" rig out at gigs for over a year, and I forgot just how good it sounds. I played my new LP the entire set and it just gets sweeter every time I play it.

I'll upload pics tomorrow evening when I get home. There was video shot, but I'll have to track it down and get some sent to me.

My ears are slightly ringing, and I have that perfect post-gig "afterglow". It was a good day!

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Hey, Congrats!! Sounds like you and your band had a blast, and as a result, so did the crowd!!

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Great Spanks I can't wait to see the pics and hopefully a vid!

 

[tot_Ou_tard]

Hot D@mn Spanky!!!! R :R
