Al Krow 4,738 Posted October 1, 2019 (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! 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 Edited December 15, 2019 by Al Krow 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twigman 1,297 Posted October 1, 2019 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 4,738 Posted October 1, 2019 (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, 2019 by Al Krow 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redbandit599 264 Posted October 1, 2019 I'll play - quite like this one from a recent pub gig. Happy with my tone on this too, which is always a bonus! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twigman 1,297 Posted October 1, 2019 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. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Al Krow 4,738 Posted October 1, 2019 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 2,573 Posted October 1, 2019 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

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.

Twigman 1,297 Posted October 16, 2019 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 277 Posted October 18, 2019 (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, 2019 by solo4652 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
