Last night's gig-- a post for Basscliff

[JRA]

what a great scene for a 4th of july gig! sounds like everyone had fun --- and that you had fun not traveling and not carrying a bunch of gear! i don't need food pics knowing what was being served up...sounds really tasty. thanks for sharing your gig experience!

Excellent gig! I noticed the cool weather attire of the crowd too. Then I remembered it is Alaska, therefore summer attire.

I'm jealous of your easy schlep. I'm playing a harbor front gig tonight but have to drag everything, including the PA.

Hi Will,

Have you seen some of @BassCliff 's audiences? They're huuuuge!

And sometimes there's a lot of people!

But not all the time. I don't play arenas or stadiums. I don't play harbors much either. I like a good dive bar once in a while but not too often.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Sorry @LuckyScott -- there was fresh Alaskan halibut fish and chips, burgers and hot dogs provided by the local merchants. I'll take pics of the food next time...

Mmmm halibut. So good. Happy 4th of July. Curious as to what time your fireworks show starts. You're further north than I am and there's still a tinge of light at 11:00. Thanks for sharing.

I spent a summer working in Skagway, AK. The restaurant in the building where I worked had All You Can Eat Fish and Chips one night. The fish was halibut or salmon on a stick. Sooooo good!

Wow, nice gig Will. Good stuff!

I will work for fresh Alaskan halibut fish and chips.

Seriously, great gig report, Will! I love that BassCliff has started a "post your gig" craze. I can't get enough of these! Food shots next time, please.

Last night I played in two bands for the 4th of July. It wasn't a big showing, only a couple hundred people, but it sure was fun.

Commuting to the gig took 5 minutes in my Impreza. The sound and lights were provided and all I needed to bring was my bass. So, @BassCliff here's my 3 minute commute to the gig!

Great gig report Will!

Big crowd or small as long as you bring your A game, it's a good gig!

That's more than 2% of the local population! Well done. Not many of us can make that claim for a gig.

Hi Will,

Thanks for the great gig report! Your gig was what it's all about, brother. My thoughts:

Sometimes I wish I was still a college kid with high energy.

Where did you say those subs were?

You've got to be tough to live in Alaska!

Thanks for the compliments. And I too wish I were back in college with what I know now LOL. I believe the subs were under the decorations at the front of the truck bed. I'm not exactly sure of the location but I sure felt them in my feet!
