    I like this band. Blue

    A new venue for us, extremely small space to perform, however great looking and sounding room and high end clientle that are into live bands. Place was packed, and the hours were decent, 9:00-12:00. I hope they ask us back, in a dieng vertical we need this type of new business. Blue

    4 songs? We're there other bands that played? Blue

    Recreating the past, I like that Dave. I was concerned about our New Year's Eve Show. However, when I saw all those grey haired couples over 60 entering the room, I said " this is going to be cool" and it was. Dave, it's not going to last. We should enjoy every single gig we play from here on out. Blue

    We all have our opinions and positions. That's fine. However I'll even advance my position by stating; There aren't even any mechanisms in place today to develop the calber of artists and talent we had in the early 70s. Blue

    They really don't. I hope to get a little support or empathy from my fellow seniors here on BC regarding my position. Blue

    I can't speak for Dave. However a lot of us old timers are biased. Guys like me, 65 , came into music in the early 70s the most prolific period for rock music in history. Nobody is making music of that caliber anymore. They're just not, sorry. Old Man Blue

    At 65, pretty much out of touch. It's nothing I'm proud of. Blue

    A couple of riffs, clean, dirty, and bass octave. Check vocal monitor volume that's about it. Blue

    I was suffering with sciatica and a bad cold, hence the scarf. Blue

    As long as your lines are funky and they sound good I don't think it matters. However , I can't imagine much coming of anything without putting in some level of effort. Blue

    Great room, pay and a great crowd for New Year's Eve. You guys seem to value food, the owner also gave each memer a $75.00 gift certificate for their restaurant. Blue

    Agreed, I get concerned when our band leader calls multiple 12 bar blues tunes. Thing is we have so much other material . However it's not my call. Blue PS: I'm in New Jersey over the holidays and had a chance to jam with my close childhood friend Doug. We started our first band when we were both 12 years old.

    All it takes is one good gig to get the band confidence up again. Blue

    We're a small dance hall band. Vocals ,guitars and drums. We can't afford that kind of technology. Blue

    CT, my guys! Blue

    I'm giving Macca a pass. When I saw him a few years ago he used backing tracks for the orchestration in "Live And Let Die" but that was it. Blue

    That's sort of the way KISS had it. Their fans don't care. Blue
  19. Bluewine
    If I'm payingvbig bucks to see a big band like KISS, I want to hear real singing even if it's bad. KISS was probably a bad example because I don't think their fans care one way or the other. Motley Crew openly admits to using multiple layers of pre-recorded guitar tracks. Blue
  20. Bluewine
    How do you feel about big bands like KISS lip syncing and useing multiple backing tracks live? Take a position and support it. Blue

    I still say the only true amp demo is live with your band in the venues you play. Not a YouTube clip in an ideal environment. Blue
  22. Bluewine
    It's good that you went out and played in front of people. That's the story here. Blue
  23. Bluewine
    I'm retired or what you guys call a pensioner? I have way too much free time.☺️ Blue
  24. Bluewine
    Very cool, then I have at least 10 gigging years left. I started gigging at age 12. Blue
  25. Bluewine
    Great story, unfortunately at 65, my band is probably my swan song to any type of gigging. My plan is to take up fishing when I finally "age out" of the gigging scene. Blue
