Most concerts in 24 hours...

[aronnes71]

My band, Moped, will try to set new world record with 65 concerts in 24 hours. Each concert must be at least 10 minutes, we can not play twice on the same stage.

The record attempt will be on November 22nd, starting at 07.00 in the morning Norwegian time. You can follow us on Twitter @mopedband and see if we make it. I will try to update after every concert!

Cheers
Tore

Good luck! Go for it!

 

[aronnes71]

We made it, 66 conserts in 19 hours!

 

[Shakin-Slim]

Jeez, that's a solid effort! Congrats to you and your band! Any highlights/lowlights of the 24 hours?

 

[sobie18]

Any bass solos in there?

 

[aronnes71]

I do usually not play solos, but could not resist during consert #60. Black Night by Deep Purple have a long solo part, usually on giutar, but had to give it a go. I guess that was the best consert.

Low points came and went during the day, but none in the band had them at the same time

Was a fun day to look back on, but I do not think we will try again...

We will make a video, er filmed all the gigs...

You should let The Flaming Lips know!

If I remember correctly, they made it into the Guinness Book of World Records recently for playing the most concerts in 24 hours.

I'm more interested in seeing the "in between" times. Packing, rushing to the next gig, and setting up!

 

[aronnes71]

We had 3 rigs with their own crew who did the rigging for us. We, the band, had our own driver and only our guitars and drumstics to carry. We also had someone to remind us to eat and drink, an most important tell us where we go next... After consert number 40 it was all a fuzz. I remember the last 6 conserts, but most of them I do not remember...

 

[GrumpiusMaximus]

So if I'm getting this right, you had three crews. Each crew was responsible for one set of gear. One crew is tearing down the last gig, one crew is at the current gig and another crew is setting up the next gig. Is that right?

 

[FloatingHogs]

Wasn't it Jackal who had that record before you?

 

[aronnes71]

Grumpius, that is correct!

There was a Norwegian band who had the last records at 65...
They where not on Guinnes book of records site, only a guy from India with 55 conserts. We had planned 65 but by a mistake we booked 66. Lucky for us

Cheers
