Even though the game was played in NY/NJ the show was geared to a world wide audience, not just the local crowd. I didn't watch it so I have no opinion beyond that - :cool:

Cool, who did you get to see at the Filmore?

OMG - I just listened to the Neville Bros version of Ain't No Sunshine. Never heard it before, what a great rendition. Dance-abale?, don't know - I don't dance ;)

I always thought it was "Wham, Bam thank you Mam", But I agree this one always goes over. People do know it.

Dave in Clearwater Florida - March 2024

Interesting vocal analyses from Fil of the Wings of Pegasus:

I'll admit I didn't read the entire post but couldn't you have used a fill in bass player as well? :roflmao:

Yes, but what would the fun be in that ;)

IMO this is a very good sign that they are willing to rehearse with you. I've experienced some bands with so little regard for the bass player that they will gig with a sub with no rehearsal. Good luck, have fun. Can you share the set list?

No gigs for me this year. :( This is the first year I haven't played out at all since I re-started playing bass 20 years ago. Very sad for me.

Good for you. I have done this in the past, and not always to good results. So good luck. Can you share the set list.

Why would you even play this show?

Is there an audience for 2 hours worth of BL originals?

What is Rod's current setlist?

How so??

You may be right ;)

He followed up his post with this comment ---------------- Forgot to add that we play a little of everything. Oldies, old Country, new Country, classic Rock, newer Rock, Pop and even a little Disco at times. ------------- :woot:

I saw this on my local musicians FB page. It looked interesting to me but I as I read through something seemed off. Anyone else see issue with this post? ----------------------- The xxxx yyyy Band is looking for a new bass player! Yep, our great friend and xxx original, Zzz, has...

Lol - you'll never be able to fire this drummer now :woot: This was great, I actually choked on my gummy while reading this. :cool:

What did the guitar player think was the cause of the suckage? What did the other guys think? Is the guitar palter significantly more or less experienced than the rest of the guys? Did you do the additional abbreviated rehearsal?

I saw them when they came through Clearwater this spring. The show was good, songs you know :cool: I though Kofi was particularly good.

I once played at a pickup, no rehearsal or set list type charity gig. Aa we're discussing possible songs before we go on the guitar player suggests Sissy Strut. At that time, I had never heard the song or had even heard of the Meters. The guitar player says - it's easy, it's just 'C'...

Just finished reading this. I wild jaunt in and around the state parks of Florida with Serge and Coleman. Unfortunately Tim Dorsey is no longer with us..

I agree mostly but IMO 4 Tom Petty songs are not too many. Everyone likes Tom Petty and they always go over well. You could even play like 2 or 3 in a row with no problem.

Just a very minor suggestion but if you're going to play both songs maybe do Ziggy Stardust right into Suffragette City. I was in one band that did this. It works on the Ziggy album and works for a live cover band as well.

I think I actually did say the same thing in a different way. Either we play blues covers for the gig - as the drummer suggested and not the originals or I'm walking. (being out of town with the drummer)

I'd also check the grounding as well. Can be checked with a meter from the ground connector on the jack to the bridge.

I find this interesting. You've been in this band 21 years and you think if you strongly suggested (or insisted) on playing covers instead of the BL's originals for this show, then you'd be kicked out of the band?? Yikes!! I understand that he's the BL but if you've been in this band for...

Just curious, can you share some of your song list?

I saw Rockpile at Belmont Park on Long Island in 1979. Belmont park is a horse racing track. After the races that afternoon they had a concert. Rockpile opened and Blondie was the headliner.

Bummer. He was also a member of Rockpile and toured as part of Ringo's all star band.

I worked on Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting today.

That's too bad. The best/most fun bands that I've been in - best music and best gigs - were with a group that were on the same page and liked to get together and rehearse. Good hang and good music. Sign me up for that every time. :bassist:

Income??? Do you guys do this for money? :cool:

A little late :bassist: I'm Losing You

There are gigs to be had. Every band I've played in has been able to get gigs. I gravitate towards bands that play out once or twice a month. Typically breweries or tiki restaurant/bar type shows with mixed aged audiences. As I mentioned I play for fun and very little money so the...

IME, they usually don't :thumbsup:

I remember my father saying "stick your head out the window if you're going to throw up" - LOL. This was a long time ago when the back windows rolled all the way down.
