We played this gig last year (you can read about it here). This time we set up where we ended up last year (covered), which was good because just like last year, there were passing showers. It seemed like most of the people were off to our right at the bar and maybe couldn't hear us, but there were a fair number of people sitting at tables watching us.
Dannells played great stuff, and very different from his usual ideas.
The place where Greg's bass cabinet was really liked A=440, and his side of the stage rang the whole night like there was some kind of feedback. On our side, it sounded like the bass wasn't even on. Weird acoustics.
We rolled back into town this morning, ate a really good breakfast at some cat place down the street from the office,
and went straight into rehearsals for next week's Thriller/Purple Rain show. I think it went pretty well--my stuff worked. Tuesday night/Wednesday morning I was up til 5 AM working on my keyboard parts, and I think the practice helped more than I thought it would. Now I have this weekend to really get comfortable with it--the show's right around the corner!
10 High tonight if you want to come out…
