Yacht Rock spent Saturday night at the Buckhead Theatre for the Tacky Christmas Party--a benefit for Toys for Tots.
This event was not well attended. I believe the ticket prices were pretty steep (I heard $75), and we were advertised as Please Pleaserock Me instead of Yacht Rock. I wonder if we'd been booked as the latter if they crowd would have been stronger. I think there were only a couple of hundred people there. It looked pretty empty.
No problems, though. We played right through it. There were some great moments (Cobb's drum fill in With a Little Help from my Friends) and some keyboard issues (I switched keyboard patches while playing the drum pads on my Fantom, and the first keyboard note I hit sounded like a police siren! Holy shit!).
I played a really good solo on Dick in a Box. I hope somebody got video of it! I don't know why--just a combination of luck and being able to hear myself well. I could have kept going--everything I was playing worked great. Wish I'd played that well the week before!
