Allot of guys have been through the same scenario including me. Getting up and running with gigs is extremely difficult for start ups. For the guys that get into this because you want consistent gigging, even with existing bands can be tough. If you don't know the band your interested in ask how long the current band line up has been in place and how often have they gigged each month for the past 6 months. Blue

Cool story and thanks for posting the pics, I'm jealous. Even without traditional pay you were treated like " Rock Stars" . I've experienced many cool gigs but not this cool.👍 Blue

Some Interesting points come to mind regarding gigging. We all like different aspects of gigging. You miss gigging on the regular. For some of us gigging on the regular might mean anything from 3 gig weekends to once a month gigging. Blue

Good looking band. Blue

Nice crowd! Blue

For me one great gig compensates for 5 bad ones. And everybody is looking for different things out of gigs. I say unless your playing with the right people you probably will have poor gigging experiences ( I've been there). One thing I'll say about my band. Without fail at every gig as soon as we're on stage it's all about fun and nothing but fun. The pic is from a 2 summers back. We did 60 minutes, then a local Zeplin tribute band did an hour and the headliner was Peter Frampton. The stage sound was kind of weird but we dealt with it. We struggle with big stage festival gigs. Regardless we still have a blast. Blue

Walking out to 2000 people is a very nice experience. Blue

I'm not sure if this is a duplicate topic. If not, please share some of your great gig experiences and stories. Blue

Thanks CJ That's Jenny she is also the band leader . Her husband does all the booking and runs sound and lights. That number usually moves a little smoother. I'm not sure what went wrong. Blue

I like The idea of the 2 hour gig. I like the idea of the 40 minute opener theatre gig. I do not like the idea of the 4 hour US 🇺🇸 bar gig. Blue

The quality of G&L guitars and basses are a well kept secret here in the US too. Blue

One of the best. RIP

Thanks Dave, The punch comes from the active pre amp on my 1991 G&L ASAT Bass. I just use my GK 1001rb head for volume only. That's a 2 10 RBX cab from GK ( weighs a cubic ton ). Daryl

Very festive and energetic. Blue
