This is the first gigging band I joined and left a couple years ago. We did a reunion gig for the St. Robert's Festival. This is not your usual benefit gig. The BL goes to this church, put his daughter through the school here, a few of my cousins & my parents go here too, my father's funeral services were held here and the BL and Ron came to my dad's funeral, and the drummer is known by many of the people who put on this event. The BL stopped booking the band last year, but the organizers asked if we could still do it, so we accepted.
It was loose and we made through the songs. Here's shot of the food and stage area:
That's right Candyland Brah!
Here's Steve the BL getting his things together
Steve's nephew Little Steve and our front man/drummer Roger
My rig for the night. The load in and out sucks so I'm keeping it simple, SWR 4x10, Mesa D800, Alembic Essence.
Ron the guitarist setting up his rig.
Wing on the keyboards
Drummer Roger. You'll never meet a bigger Elvis and Three Stooges fan. I missed hanging with him, he's a really funny guy
Here's a shot of the carnival area from the stage between sets.
And a shot of us from the stage provided by Steve
The sound was OK at first and then it got really loud and crunchy about half way through the first set. The 2nd set was short because we only at until 10pm. The music was ok though, about as good as I expected with the low pressure of it.
Oh yeah, the tri-tip steak sandwiches for the band! Could have had a beer but went with the Diet Coke.
