What do You Listen to After the Gig?

Sign in to disble this ad
On your way home from a gig, what do you listen to, if anything?

I'll start:
Just for perspective, my band plays pop, rock, classic R&B, Motown, blues, disco, and a few Latin and country tunes.

I either turn the radio off and enjoy the silence or I frequently listen to Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" or Oscar Peterson's "Oscar Peterson plays George Gershwin."

The rubber on the road.

Maybe sports talk radio but no music.

I enjoy the silence and sometimes the ringing of my ears.

We play original rock, but if the GF and I have anything playing on the way home it's typically rap/hip-hop on Pandora - Fort Minor radio, Dead and Gone radio, Mos Def Official, etc...

SILENCE!!
I used to listen to music all of the time and have audiophile systems at home and in the shop and nice subwoofer systems in my cars but since I started playing the bass aprx 10 years ago I never listen to the stereo in my car and rarely at home.

Accompanied by the sound of a good cigar being fired up.

Though on occasion wife has asked to go out dancing after a gig which means listening to club music until 5am and then
blessed unconsciousness until noon.

Usually nothing. I like things quiet afterwards.
