You're not "ON TOUR" if............

We also need a thread about home studios.

If the ladies who are lining up to "meet you" are not even a little pretty...

That's not true. You could simply be in Foghat.

"If your bass player is also your sound man, you're not on tour."
Well, that one stung a bit.

I realize this is supposed to be humorous, but the fact is if someone is traveling from town to town to play, they are in fact on tour. It may be a lame tour, but it's a tour nonetheless.

Yeah, but it's not a "TOUR" tour.

If your band transportation consists of an SUV, a one-ton pickup truck and a Prius, you are not On Tour.

Not to mention "producers".

If you have to wait for patrons to finish eating so tables can be moved from where the band sets up, you aren't on tour.

Lol, had an exceptional example of this earlier this summer. I showed up early, at 7, gig was at 9. Bar/restaurant, NOT on tour. We were doing full PA, and this couple, in their 90's I would guess, are well into their steak dinners, right where we/I need to setup. I read the situation, talked to staff, and grabbed a beer and hung back. Everyone else eventually shows up, but this couple is in slow motion. Sopped up every bit of sour cream or horseradish till plates were clean. didn't even start setting up till around 8:45.
Ahh the glory..

The real question is;

Why did 'Carrots!' not get a single vote yet...not a single one...
That's the question!

If you can take a cab to the show...

 

[Slough Feg Bass]

If you ride your bicycle to the show...

We had a re-furbished Rainbow Bread truck back in the early 80s.....

Almost all accurate…but the Denny's part is wrong - stuck down South, in the late '70's/early '80s, saw all too much of Denny's or Waffle House after the parties were over. I guess those were the after-after parties.

Nonetheless, a hoot. Thanks, OP.

Our singer's mom is at EVERY gig!

Fortunately, she brings the singer's cute sister with her!

If your MOM drives you to the gig...
NOT on Tour

Unless you actually ARE
the Partridge Family.

If you know everyone in the audience by name...

 

[samson3382]

If you get three 15 minute breaks.
If you go out to your truck during your breaks.

But if you don't know what day it is or where you played yesterday and find a brah in your flightcase....congratulations...
YOU'RE ON TOUR!!!
