Maybe, for Gary it was probably easy. However I'm sure their set list was a little different than 4 hours worth of bar band material at least 60 different songs.

I tend to use jam nights to get my frustrations out of my system and play stuff my band can't do.... with a built-in receptive audience.
You could do that with like-minded people and build up a set and then see if you can manage two bands or not.

It was just an example of what musicians can do with some talent, experience and application within a limited timespan.

Drumming is slightly different but I've had a pro drummer stand in for a gig. I sent him a list in the morning and in the evening he played a three hour set. Bass wise, I've played pit from sight reading and gigs from charts while the guitarist gave me cues. It's not impossible to play a gig with only a few hours notice.

I was being sarcastic... no comparison between a bar set and a main tour.

Not unknown to to do whole set in a bar as a jam... if you have the players, the pub wont know, tbh.
It is just a case of following the lead.
