Catchy topic title for a post covering our latest gig with another hours set played at a local village event for the Queens jubilee. To be honest given the number of events in the area and the demand for live acts we could have played Friday through to Sunday without a problem, as people were still looking for acts up to the day of events! Not sure our families would have been impressed though.
This was much more pressure as there were many more people and the event was only focussed on the music acts so more people actually listening. Plenty of unforced errors although none which were easily picked up by the audience.
Weather was a factor on this one as wellā¦ going from bright sunshine to rain and back ( no doubt influenced by us performing Why Does It Always Rain On Me). At one point continuing to play as monitors, mfx and everything else was shuffled further under the tentā¦
We actually got a few people singing and dancing on this one and a call for another song at the end which was nice.
As a follow on from this one weāve been asked already to play at another event at the end of Aug ( and we already have another slot at a local town festival in Sept) so things are nicely building which is both good but a challenge juggling our availability.
Now we have a little gap to juggle the songs weāve got and start alternating two 45 minute sets at practiceā¦.plus one or two new ones ( I have my eye on one for the OM).
Anyway enough chatter and on to the highlights video. NOT the greatest ( my daughter was in charge of the camera!) but itās something and gives you a feel for the event.
Nothing new in terms of songs ( same setlist as our last one).
That was an interesting version of āFortunate Sonā. Great song selection of songs, I wish I could have been there. Lots of those great songs from a great era. āBad Moon Risingā! āBorn to be Wildā, we do that one too! You made them all sound really great as a 3-piece. Solid bassist, great groove and his tone sounds like a cushion for everything you guys are doing.
Seven Nation Army! Awesome.
I love your group! Iād pay money to see that anytime.
@Endureth Big thanks for taking the time to listen. Glad you enjoyed the āclassicsā
@DavidP Cheers and thanks for the comments on YouTube as well.
@jkahn@Helen0609 Thanks both for taking the time to listen. Bizarrely Zombie vocally comes easier to me than some of the others we play. Never Tear Us Apart, 7 Nation, Bad Moon are trickier in some ways.
Another great selection for your showcase
Man, you did go through all the weather on that one eh?
iād stop and watch any performer.
Iād go to watch you guys
Great stuff Jason. You guys are going from strength to strength. Yes your camera person needs to get closer to the action, but given the weatherā¦ā¦. The video still captures the atmosphere of the gig. Well done.
Another fine one Jason, soon and you will be able to get some paid gigs which is awesome for a hobby! Set was as great as the one in Tewkesbury and enjoyed it again!
Ha ha thanks Digger thatās a āNever Gonna Happenā thingā¦. But little steps and hopefully weāll get bigger things. Definitely come a decent way in 12 months.
Another great gig from the three of you. Certainly on the up and the offers seem to be confirming that for sure. Its been really good seeing how far you come, from our early days in the forum. Very proud of you sir ! Keep on rockin.
