This a was a first for us -being an opening act for a ticketed concert close to home at a Zorah Shrine Amphitheater. There were about 800 people there when we started and we got to play for an hour.

I'm still on cloud nine from it all …
Wish all the shows could be like this lol ..

Thankfully there was an old dummy waiter that was used to get the gear up to the stage!

Wanted to take my Orange head and cab but we had to get off fast for the main act so I took my rumble -I was Not disappointed-love this amp!
And was trying to decide which bass -it was hard but I narrowed it down between my Adam Clayton and this beauty -but my Music Man win out lol …

The crowd was amazing and we were very well received! Honestly I felt like a rockstar. When we were finished we decided to listen to the headliner for a bit -when I went out into the crowd I was mobbed by people telling me how great we were and wanting selfies with me. Especially the teenage girls -I guess they thought I was cool. Here's a pic of one of the groups of girls wanting pics with me and of course my guitar player jumping in LOL!

First......NICE! Don't we all wish that all of our gigs were like that. 800 people would be a rush for sure. Some of us small timers can only dream of gigs like that.

Rumble 500. Love mine, light and more than enough power for our 3 pc. I could get by with the 100 but not worth spending the $$ for another amp.

Nice work on your photos, really captured the spirit of the gig. Creepy door? :roflmao: And you got food shots, so another A+ for effort because I never include those.

Thanks for sharing! Enjoy the post gig excitement! :thumbsup:
