Show us your band's live playing videos!

[Al Krow 4,738]

"... the buzz of a gig is hard to beat" Amen to that! 

Thought it would be great to have a dedicated thread where we share videos of our bands' live performance, both original and covers and also possibly some not so great experiences / stories to make us all feel better if you're feeling brave!

To get the ball rolling, this one from an earlier line-up of my main covers band:

And a first outing for a new project close by @bassfan's manor

There's a whole forum for that:

Fair - but this thread is just focusing on bands' videos rather than details of where gigs are happening etc. I guess if there's no demand for it, it will sink without trace! But I'd love to have one place to check out fellow BC'ers bands.

I'll play - quite like this one from a recent pub gig. Happy with my tone on this too, which is always a bonus! 

 

[Twigman 1,297]

OK I'll join in - I chose this because this was the first time we'd played this song in over a year! We hadn't even rehearsed it - it was a spontaneous choice for a second encore at Wave Gothik Treffen in June in Leipzig - the biggest gig we played this year.......the keyboards temporarily failed during the middle8 - it makes me question if rehearsals are actually necessary.

 

[Al Krow 4,738]

Really liked that @Twigman! Didn't miss the synth keyboards at all in the mid 8 - besides you could just get a Boss SY-1 and sack him 😂.

Looked 500+ in the audience? Were you guys headlining?

We were told it was over 1k - there's an upstairs too! - yes we closed the 4 day festival at that venue (the festival has several venues across the city)

You can see our guitarist look quizzically at the keyboards at 4:06....a solo is completely missing LOL

I don’t have anything to offer with the current lineup, but this was from a freebie charity gig last year. Our current drummer is here on backing vocals as he hadn’t rejoined at this point.

Why are your bass lines always better than mine, Dave? 😎

 Cheers, I don’t think I do, but if there is a reason, I think it’s obvious...I play a Fender......🤔

Ah yes, it's so obvious now you point it out! Now you come to mention Jamerson also played a Fender, so it must be true...

As the old saying goes, Jamerson never needed a 5th/6th/7th string, nor did he need a short scale or extra long scale, nor an active bass, nor a custom built boutique bass etc etc....... but I bet he could make all that sound better than I can lol.

Jamerson barely needed beyond the fifth fret!

[bigjohn 238]

Yeah, Fenders do rock.

[dave_bass5 2,573]

Here's some footage from a gig.

 

[Cuzzie 3,134]

Stonking work young man - looks a whole heap of fun

[krispn 1,187]

'twas!

[Al Krow 4,738]

Need some original footage from you Mr @HazBeen!

[Twigman 1,297]

Thought I’d add another one - this song always leaves me feeling a little exposed and that it will all fall apart any second - I love playing it though. This rendition in a converted barn on an old dairy farm in the plains of Emilia Romagna Italy earlier this year....I give you 3 Lines

 

 

[solo4652 277]

How about this, from 2010. Burnley Football club.I sold the G&L shortly afterwards - too many knobs and switches. Confused the hell out of me......

so many covers - am I the only one in a non-cover band that posts video?
