Steve Sandwich!

[canshaker]

I've been on TB for a long time. Way before I joined (and subsequently left) Filter. I've always loved seeing posts from fellow TB'ers who have been fortunate enough to do some really cool things. Since I was lucky enough to join the "big leagues", I've been blessed with some amazing opportunities. I've shared some of these on here, not as a way of bragging, but as a genuine fan that got that "lucky break".

That being said...

Ladies and Gentlemen... Fellow TB'ers...
Last night, THIS happened!

Normally I don't like to indulge in guitar wankery but the trading of solos towards the end was pretty jaw dropping.

Great job holding it down to let them guys fly.

That is sig worthy right there!!!

 

[Space Pickle]

was hoping this thread was about a musician named "Steve Sandwich"

 

[JLY]

That would be a once in a lifetime experience for most of us
Congrats and thanks for sharing!

That is too cool, what a great experience.

I'm not sure I could have kept my composure playing with that pair though. I have seen Vai live play things that are... Unpossible!

Hi Mr. canshaker,

This. Is. Pretty, Dang. Cool!! Thanks for sharing your good fortune. I really enjoy seeing others' gigs. I think even *I* would've played 6 minutes of "You Really Got Me" if I was having that much fun. You should've busted heads with them too! Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Way cool.
Just curious, what does a gig like that pay?
in $$$
Obviously awesome experience.

It was for The Viper Room's 21st anniversary. We got paid, but it wasn't much. We did it to jam with each other, and to celebrate the venue and booker, Dayle Gloria. She has been a LEGEND in the LA music scene. I played some of my first Hollywood shows for her in 1990.

Awesome romp through "You Really got Me"! That's the big rock sound, right on the money. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Kaa]

That's very cool!

That's gotta be one my favorite rock songs on the planet other than Zep's "Whole Lotta Love". good job... Next time show more pics of your bass rig.

We were supposed to do "Whole Lotta Love" with Sebastian Bach on vocals, but for some reason, he left the stage after 2 songs. We were SUPPOSED to do 3.
That was not my rig. We all used house gear.
This is my rig:
