I love smoke machine mishap stories. Hilarious 😂 Daryl

Hilarious! Daryl

I thought Dave Grohl was fantastic. Daryl

Pink was a stand out for me too. Daryl

Watched it last night. Usually those long benefit concerts can't hold my attention. But I couldn't get away from this one. I watched the whole thing. To me it was a great example of where we're at with pop music. Everyone seemed to be on fire. From Rod Stuart to Earth Wind & Fire and everything in between. Stevie Nick's band held their groove like nobody's business. Stevie & Sting's " Higher Ground" was fantastic. I could go on and on about the performances and the productions. It was Pink that really got me into it. When you've got the time and your in the right mood please watch it. Daryl

I'll start. We were playing a " so called" high end blues festival in Baraboo. A 2 hour drive. They told us we would have a pro stage, lighting and a pro sound crew. We get there and it's pouring raining, The tent had several leaks, the stage looked like it was made from stacked up milk crates. The 2 sound guys appeared to be in their early 80s. I asked them if they would xrl my amp to the sound, neither one moved. They .merely pointed to and xrl lead laying in the grass, as if I was supposed to do it myself. Apparently they didn't recognize me. Daryl

Share any moments, the sad and humorous.

We've had tto cancel due to low ticket sales In our case I saw it coming. I think it happens to a lot of bands I hope you guys have better luck next time. Daryl

Thanks, for some unknown reason I can't edit the name. Daryl

From what I've read here seems like a lot of bands are struggling with getting gigs. You mentioned the biker rally gig next month. We live in the heart of Harley land and surprisingly we "bomb out" at most biker gigs. The classic rock bands do better at those events. I'll be looking to hear about any good gigs that come up for the Glam band. Daryl

In the summer we might see a few 2 a week bookings. I can do it, however it's not easy and it usually takes me a few days to recover. Daryl

I know the feeling. We're traditionally not busy in February and March. 2 months of no gigs brings me down. At this point in life it shouldn't bother me, but it does. Dave, I'm assuming in the summer you guys have a festival and fair season.Does the Glam band play those kind of events in the summer? Daryl

Not a bad gig. We had a respectable crowd. A little over 50 people. I think that's pretty good considering we're really not a "pay at the door" band. Nice room, however the sound and lighting looked vintage 1979. But we made it work. The band was sounding good tonight. I couldn't get any decent pics. I did see that Peter Asher and Alvin Lee played there not to long ago. So we were in very good company. Daryl Daryl

I got into this because I like being in control. For me, if I'm impaired I've lost that control. Daryl

Di box to the RCF Sound. Daryl

For our acoustic offering our lead singer plays her Fender Strat. Daryl

I really appreciate being driven to this one Dave. Daryl

It happened so fast. I use to walk into a gig as the new young shiny thing. Now, when I arrive at a gig people are placing bets on when they think I'm going to keel over. Lol Daryl

Thanks Dave, I'll let everyone know how it goes.And hopefully I'll get some pics. Daryl

I was in the best shape of my life when I was 58. Daryl

And no deps. Our drummer is playing this one. Daryl

I'm 71. When I arrive at these clubs and the staff are all under 25 it gets to be a little tough. Once, I'm almost sure I overheard heard a young sound lady say to another staffer " oh boy, what are we going to do with this guy" Daryl

I'm going to " old school" it and bring my GK rig and pedals. Daryl

Mep, I remember the green room fridge at our last theater gig. One member depleted the whole beer supply. It didn't go over well with the BL. Daryl

Thanks Lozz, It will be interesting. We haven't played a late night gig in the city since last summer. And all the other band members are working their traditional jobs on Friday. I'll probably sleep in until about an hour before they pick me up. Lol Daryl
