For me, last night was the debut of my new (used) keyboard, a Roland Fantom X6. I had no problems, other than one of my sounds did not have much attack, so I changed it. Ooo...I was showing Dannells all the splits I'd set up, and somehow I changed the tuning of the entire keyboard! Yikes! Right before we started, I turned if off and turned it on again and things were fine.
Even better than the new keyboard was the Marshall cabinet behind my gear. Last night I put my amp up there, and it changed the gig! All of the sudden, I could hear my saxophone on stage. For previous gigs it was down on the floor in the corner, and when I went out to play a solo it was very quiet. If I tried to turn it up, it would feed back when I got back to the keyboards. Last night, I could hear my horns GREAT! So awesome, and no feedback. I'm looking forward to our next 10 High gig just so I can do that again. I may have to invest in an amp stand.
We're off to Nashville. Mercy Lounge, here we come!
