Al Krow 2,630 Posted October 1 (edited) "... 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! Had a first outing with a new outfit in @bassfan's manor on Saturday night and I'll upload some material from that to get the thread started Edited October 1 by Al Krow 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twigman 976 Posted October 1 There's a whole forum for that: https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/94-live-photos-videos/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Al Krow 2,630 Posted October 1 (edited) 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. Edited October 1 by Al Krow 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redbandit599 111 Posted October 1 I'll play - quite like this one from a recent pub gig. Happy with my tone on this too, which is always a bonus! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twigman 976 Posted October 1 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. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Al Krow 2,630 Posted October 1 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? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dave_bass5 1,029 Posted October 1 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. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now you come to mention Jamerson also played a Fender, so it must be true... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Twigman 976 Posted October 16 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 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solo4652 109 Posted October 18 (edited) 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...... Edited October 18 by solo4652 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
