  1. One of my major complaints. Being separated from the bar. It's always the kiss of death for my band. Do you guys think it's done on purpose in some instances? Blue
  2. When gigs aren't coming in the way they should. Blue
  3. I've watched your clip about a dozen times. Very clever and you guys sound great. Blue
  4. Very cool, nice job! Blue
  5. It's a 2012 , full scale. Really fun to play, very thin neck. Blue
  6. In the States, for bar bands, when the put you in a room separate from the bar, no matter how good you are your doomed. Blue
  7. Thanks, I've been playing all my hollows lately for some reason. Gibson Custom Shop ES-335 in vintage faded cherry. Blue
  8. A fun year, I was 17. Blue
  9. Nice pics of Glastonbury! Here's a little Summerfest History. Back in the late 60s, Mayor Meyers wanted a place where the working class guy that couldn't afford to take his family to Disney World could have an affordable place to take his family during the Summer. Hence Summerfest was born. I think the first Summerfest was in 1969. Blue
  10. Sunfest is a 3 day festival. Summerfest is 2 weeks. Blue
  11. Yeah, they have a greatful dead type following. Great for the jam band fan. Blue
  12. You wouldn't like Summerfest, the crowds are overwhelming. Personally, I love it. Blue
  13. Cheap Trick used to play at my college dances back in 1972 before they broke big. They've never stopped. Blue
  14. Nice overhead evening pic of Summerfest. If you struggle with crowds Summfest is not for you. Also, a bottle of Miller Light beer is at least $7.00. I don't drink, is that expensive? It's like a city of music. Blue
  15. I get the feeling your Glastonbury is a totally different type of festival And if I remember correctly it's very expensive. Blue
  16. Yeah, and the thing is, again it's only a $7.00 investment. Plus there's always a ton of free tickets that seem to come my way. I hope my band gets an evening time slot again. For those of you that play large scale festivals know that day time slots can be not so much fun. Blue
  17. Me too! However I've heard rumor that Frankie Beverly doesn't sing much anymore.😢 Blue
  18. Yes indeed, Nick has ties with some of my friends in Milwaukee that go way back. He's the "real deal" and a nice guy. Blue
  19. If they're from Liverpool I'm going to check them out. Blue
  20. Yup, and Steven Tyler is on a "free" stage. BTW, all stages are free except The Amphitheatre. My band doesn't have a date yet. Last year we played before Frampton. Blue
  21. Last time I saw McCartney he had 45,000 in attendance. Blue
  22. Most of the headliner shows I go to are in the $15.00- $20.00 range. Blue
  23. Summerfest, Milwaukee WI.. The world's largest music festival. Located on the beautiful Lake Michigan lake front. As a Senior my day pass is $7.00. A huge bargain https://summerfest.com/2018-lineup/ If interested take a look at the line up. Most bands are too young for me to know much about. I do see that Greta Van Fleet will be there, Manchester Orchestra? Comment on any artist or band if you know anything about them.
  24. True, Price is a factor. I paid over $300.00 for a Stones ticket . Nobody is a bigger Stones than me, but never again. As a Senior I can buy a Summerfest ticket for $7.00 and literally see a multitude of headliners. Blue
  25. In some ways live rock music is so much a thing of the past people don't know how to act at concerts anymore. I saw The Stones in 2016, it was like corporate family night. It was not cool.Most of the crowd was there only to be seen at the huge event and knew nothing about The Stones or their music.They only knew they were very famous. Blue
