essexbasscat Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I know this has been done before, but it's been a while and it's fun Here's mine. We played it around three - four months after it came out in 1973 [media]http://youtu.be/2dTnvhGHDGA[/media] Edited July 28, 2014 by essexbasscat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 American Idiot - Guitarist started playing as I was just plugging in, so minor panic to get ready for the cue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL POSTERS Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I'd love to say it was something cool. But I'm pretty sure it would have been Apache or something similar. I do remember it was a WMC somewhere around Dudley, New years eve 1976. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjones Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 All right now, by Free. I was still figuring out the bass part on the solo until 5 mins before the gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary mac Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 School assembly in 1973 and I think it was either Let it Be or Cecilia. My mate lent me his 72 Fender Jazz for the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) My first ever performance was 'Surf in Usa' at school around 1992 my first proper gig was an originals band around 1999, my first proper covers gig would have been something like 'Black Night' in a blues rock band around 2003ish.

Very nervous 30th birthday gig( altho' still 29 when I did gig in front of 200 people) head like a hole by 9 inch nails. After that, straight into losing my religion . That's another story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mornats Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I've only ever played in originals bands but I found the first song we gigged way back from 1995/6: https://soundcloud.com/allan-dawson/still-alive-killing-time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 No idea. My first gig playing bass was in 1981, so it would have been something that I wrote as part of the band I was in at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subbeh Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1406583037' post='2512818'] I've only ever played in originals bands but I found the first song we gigged way back from 1995/6: [url="https://soundcloud.com/allan-dawson/still-alive-killing-time"]https://soundcloud.c...ve-killing-time[/url] [/quote] Like the bass on that, sounds a lot like Bill Gould from Faith No More [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Mine was Territorial Pissings (Nirvana song), we were all 16/17 and blagged a gig at our local. We packed the place with people we knew so it went down very well despite us being ropey.[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Cheers unfortunately that was a session bassist on that album, I joined after it was recorded so we could go gigging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
