Well, i got the songs on the HD, some songs missing tho,
they guy who recorded it didnt get all the songs.

I'll be sharing them at SS when it gets going.
If ya want them, PM me at SS later, probably tomorrow as im
enjoying some redwine now and probably go out to the pubs later.

Quality is not really good. Balance is not right, tons of guitar, drums OK, keyboard too quiet, so was vocals,
it was all about where the mic. for the MD was, probably my amp was shooting
straight at it.
It's a bootleg, ain't much i can do about it.
And, some songs are missing, Im trying to hunt 'em down if
somebody else got some.
Maybe pics coming later too.. he he, that should be interesting.

Teh Gig:

Overall, it was fun, tons of fun to play out there.
(made a mental note I should do that more..)

From the beginning the message was clear, teh house was rockin
and folks got on with it. 120+ sold tickets in a tiny joint like that was
just about sold-out, atleast I had major problems gettin beers, he he...
Some troubles along the way, as expected, bass-player popped teh G-string on
while playing "Fire", guess he got really excited...
I was using borrowed Fender Stratocaster for the bluesy sound, probelm is,
im more use to "beat-teh-shit-out-of-teh-strings" and my regular axe Rootbeer
can take the beating, Strato couldnt. Its a good guitar but i was not gentle enuff and
after 3 or four songs Fender was way out of tune...
I was trying to tune it up between songs but with no success,
the background noice was enuff to distract me.
(...not to mention teh free beer...)
Started using the Rootbeer in some point and then i was a bit more "in tune".
Lotsa funny suprises again, most of the songs was not played as practised,
yoo see, when ppl starts singing a long, one has to take the advance of it and
provoke them some more, lift the roof so to speak. At the "Roadrunner" song,
the roof did lift some.
On the "Late at night" the keyboard-vocal dude gets behind me and starts playing my guitar,
he he, he played pretty well too and ppl loved it.
On a small place like that the atmosphere can get really intimate as the audience is
like 2 meters away, I could make some notes really matter and meaningfull, lol,
i hope i get to see some pics later on.
Usually if the audience is too far away and if its possible I take a walk on the bar while
playing the guitar. Thats a bullet proof way to get just about everyone going crazy.
I mean, you cant ignore it if somebody rattles the guitar like 20cm off from your
face. Works everytime.

Anyway, Im going to hit the pubs now, talks with ya guys on SS laters..

Cheers:

(ps. @J'Pol, that Reeves song is missing, i hope i get it later...)
