leschirons Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Depping on Thursday up in Tours and looking at the setlist, I'm actually going to enjoy this one😊 Only playing an hour set but.....the pros Breakdown & Lowdown Boz Scaggs, Randy's version of Purple rain, Just the two of us (Grover long version) You can leave your hat on, Now that the magic has gone, N'oubliez jamais and With a little help as the sax player does a great Joe Cocker, On the beach Chris Rea, The Ghetto George Benson, Sensa una Madonna, Zucherro and Europa Santana. This is shaping up to be a very enjoyable gig. The cons, Moondance and Domino. Guess every good gig has a price😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one and only song that I 100% veto, if I ever hear it when I am out I leave. No idea why It annoys me so much, possibly all the times I have heard it in full on cliche mode. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicbassman Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Poor old Mustang Sally. Wilson Pickett's original was so slow, cool and downright dirty, but this poor old song's been murdered ever since - I honestly think some bands have never even heard the original. I've even heard it played as a shuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, judging by the musical calibre of the band (dodgy local pub rock band), I would guess it sounded a bit crap when they first rehearsed it, so they decided to 'gee it up a bit' so then it sounded a bit more crap......... At least they were in the same key......... .............. most of the time........... 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Recently started helping out a with mate's band, doing 3 or 4 gigs a month for them, and I'm really enjoying it. Good mix of mostly 80's pop rock, but definitely not your usual pub band fayre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped by having a great drummer who is so easy to lock in with, and everyone's great attitude on the gig. Next one is mid August, looking forward to it already.

All true of my situation too, also a nice bunch of blokes who enjoy their gigs and don't take themselves too seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Well, it went great. Added bonus of the best sound guy I've ever met. Perfect mix in 3 minutes and didnt have to tweak anything in the whole set. The agent was there too and gave them a second gig straight away. Hopefully, they'll need a bass player for that one too.😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
