If this happened at one of my gigs I would absolutely cry...

[St. Louis Scot]

The guitarist jokingly plays a few AC/DC licks and the crowd reacts. If this happened at one of our gigs I would absolutely cry!

 

[sharkbait130]

I would only cry if I couldn't get through the song. If I pulled it off as well as these guys I'd be happier than a pig in $#!t.

I thought they pulled it pretty well considering it was a spontaneous moment. The bass player was a total fail since he did not seem to play along with it much. The bottom line is the crowd enjoyed it.

+1 He had no clue.
Come on, it's AC/DC not Rush.
AC/DC played properly always gets a good reaction but that was great.

Why would you cry? Don't get it at all - if the crowd go with it like that, go with the flow!

Hi,

Yes! It's a ton of fun when the audience sings back at you. Lots of energy. Kelly manages this with "Don't Stop Believing" and "I'm Just A Girl".


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Looks like fun to me. *shrug*

 

[BBox Bass]

As tired as I am of playing AC/DC songs, this definitely would not have made me cry if it happened at one of my shows. Obviously the audience had a good time, and I'll bet the band got another booking out of it.

 

[two fingers]

Yeah that crowd was there to have fun. I see Zero problems. Even if they are an originals band (I didn't bother even figuring out who we're talking about here because it doesn't matter) it's a fun thing. Let it go.

 

[Big Hoss]

Technical or not, that crowd reaction was EXACTLY what I am hoping for!

 

[punchdrunk]

A band that illicits such a reaction would have zero problems staying booked. That bassist did fail though.

 

[BassFishingInAmerica]

When you are in a working band, you learn to go off the spontaneous reaction of the crowd. I recall one time my band was playing, of all songs, Spirit of Radio, and we had the entire place get out on the floor doing a chorus line kick.

Agreed. How hard would it have been to jump in?

 

[punchdrunk]

Right?! Even if he just played a muted eighth note click, it would have been fine. He'll figure it out at some point.

Agreed. How hard would it have been to jump in?

I actually had that happen with a tune I wrote, last summer, at a Nerve reunion show. That really almost made me cry.

Easy song to remember, but it was quite moving... this song is at the top of the list of likes, for songs I've written. It's on the talkbass CD by the way, iffin anyone still has that thing .



And then I had a girl come up and completely sing another song, because the new singer was effing it up.

 

[friendlybass]

Happened to me with some black keys stuff, its fun, doesn't make me cry

 

[Bassmann79]

That was incredible! Good guitar tone too....wow! Epic!

 

[raventepes]

All that matters is that the crowd has fun! Hey...without them, you're out of a gig! Pulling off stuff like that'll make the venue want you back.

Hi,

Pretty dang fun!
