PS - for anyone not familiar with it, this whole live album is almost equally sublime as this one track. His cover of You Got a Friend was the first dance at my Wedding. What a hero.

DH, I love you more than you'll ever know - It doesn't get any better. Amen. It does get different though... which is why I don't think in terms of who is the 'best'. We're not talking about how fast these guys could run 100m, or even how note perfect they can sing a series of notes. Singing is not athletics. Singing is vocal expression so for me no one is better than Donny, but there are people I love just as much Thanks Bubinga5, for bringing some Donny into my morning!!

[size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]hi guys,[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I'm hoping to draw on your experiences here - if I've put this in the wrong place please let me know and I'll re-post it wherever it should be.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]So, I'm hoping you could give me some advice insurance for bands. [/font][/size][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]I have recently begun to play in a function band and have somehow managed to become the band leader with responsibility for banking and am thinking about what's the best way to get insured for Public Liability? [/size][/font][font=arial][size=1] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]If I join the MU as an individual is it just me that is covered, or am I covered for the band too? For example, if a non MU member of the band's equipment caused an injury to a member of the public, or if the band was unable to perform at short notice and was therefore in breach of contract would my MU insurance cover these liabilities? I'm asking because as the band leader and the person responsible for 'the band' as a legal / financial entity these things would very likely land in my inbox and I want to be confident that I am not exposed if my fellow band mates (a disorganised rabble!) fail to insure themselves.[/font][/size][/size][/font] [font=arial][size=1] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hope you can help!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1378287403' post='2198065'] [/size] Ah well, there you go... my BDI-21 has been fully operational for years and has been gigged extensively, thrown around in boxes and gig bags, kicked around stages and generally abused and it's still going strong... so I'd say YMMV. [/quote] ... ahh man, feeling a bit gutted now! I did think the ones I had sounded better than my Sanamps ... but my mileage was lame. Glad yours is still rockin' !

+1 for the MXR M80 - I love it and you can balance the clean and dirty signals so loads of control over how much grit you want. On the BD121 - they sound very good but[u][i] IN MY EXPERIENCE[/i][/u] every Behringer pedal I've had has gone wrong very quickly, if not out straight out of the box. Personally I wouldn't bother with them as I've probably sent £100 in total on Behringer pedals that basically don't last 5 mins and get binned because they're not worth fixing. Like I say - they actually sound great while they work, but for me (and others that I was talking to at the time) they aren't worth the hassle. I'm not a Behringer hater - love their desks and mics - but not the pedals. Cheers, Doug.
