  1. We did Burn which is / was one of my fav DP songs to play. Also Stormbringer (also the name of the band) Copy of band set list from 2012. Dave Set List #1 - Ivory Blacks 20.7.12.docx
  2. very nice indeed. Dave
  3. Sounds good and curious what the bass is ? Dave
  4. Bet you're glad to be bacck at it and that is one nice rig you have there. What's the bass ? Dave
  5. didn't know you were tackling guitar charts too Rob. Not that i play guitar but it impresses me even more how you can do all this work and i know you generally make light of it but if it was that easy why are we not all doing it, including me ? Dave
  6. Yep def one of my bass heroes along with Neil Murray, Jack Bruce and of course Jeff Berlin. Also loved his tone on A Live Record. Dave
  7. Altho i saw them with Bernie Torme and John McCoy i cant say i was a big fan of them. Dave
  8. I meant Breathless. Cheers Mickey, now updated on original post. No idea where i got Pointless from. ? Bit of a Doh !!! moment there. 😂 Richard Sinclair was an incredible bassist / vocalist with some amazing techniques. I personally love "A Live Record" where you get to hear his playing. My fav album by Camel is actually "I Can See Your House from Here" which is the only tour i've seen them. Liked the "Nod and a Wink" album too but i think that was a bit of a tribute to Pete Bardens. Dave
  9. Oddly enough we didn't do any Gillan songs altho we did talk about Ted the Mechanic. Dave
  10. Hi Rob just listening to Camel Breathless album and there's a nice catchy wee riff on The Sleeper if looking for ideas. Dave
  11. I was jesting of course. Nowhere in Scotland can hide from the rain. To be honest i don't really mind the rain. Not been in Pitlochry for many years now. I generally stop at the outdoor adventure centre cafe in Ballinluig on my way North. Its approx half way to Loch Ness for me. Dave
  12. Never rains in Pitlochry. Its the centre of the known universe. Gorgeous area, one of my fav areas to drive thru. I no longer stop at Pitlochry these days as its always too busy. Maybe i should visit in winter months. Dave
  13. Rain here so at least its cooling down a bit. Hope the cold isn't too bad for you during the gig. Nothing worse. Dave
  14. I'm actually glad i'm not playing this weekend with all my Glam gear on it would be very warm. Today i will be mainly loafing. Dave
  15. Makes you work for your money on the night. 😂 I used to play in a "Friends of DP" tribute and we covered any band that was directly linked to DP which allowed us Rainbow, Whitesnake, DP and even Sabbath thru Dio. Loved playing Stargazer, that was one of my all time favs. So much energy and emotion in that song for a bassist. IMO of course. Dave
  16. Some cracking songs in there. Kansas, DP, Rainbow and Whitesnake being my favoured ones. Dave
  17. What kind of classic Rock songs you doing @Lozz196 ? Dave
  18. I had that with my plucking fingers at last gig on just one song that i've been playing for past 6yrs (Ballroom Blitz mid section where bass ties in with drums) I ended up having to ad-lib it as best i could. Its not even a fast or hard part. I just couldn't get it right in my head. Old age doesn't come itself @Lozz196. That's my excuse anyways. 😂 Dave
  19. What a coincidence. Nice one. Hopefully we'll get some gig pics of each others band from you both. 😂 Dave
  20. I was asked to go to that rally once few yrs back. As a biker rather than a musician of course. I had other plans that weekend and didn't go. Dave
  21. I'm guessing it was to hide face wrinkles of course Daryl. (i saw that on "Everybody loves Raymond" show - not experience i have to say. 😂) Dave
  22. I had one of those prescribed nasal sprays and ended up with severe uncontrollable nose bleeds and now won't use them. Bleeding was a constant stream rather than a drip and lasted up to 45mins at one point. Not a very nice condition. I know you can get a jab for it but not sure how good they are. Dave
  23. Not so good. I only occasionally suffer from hay fever but i'm on daily anti-histamines for past 20yrs or so. Hopefully it'll be ok and you can enjoy the gig. Did get a tip from a guy that suffered badly was to rub some vaseline on inside of your nose to trap pollen. Not tried it but he swore by it. Dave
  24. Take a large 18" cooling fan and position near you. I use one every gig with Glam band and it does keep you cooler. Dave
  25. Nice one Daryl, this is more how it should be for you guys. Should be a fantastic experience. Keep us posted on how it goes. Dave
