Hey guys...

Hope you enjoy it...

Super cool man! Great all around - the playing, the stacks, the drum kit, the visuals. Nicely done!

That's great! Very well played and you handled the vocals while playing on Tales really well.

Loved the light show in back!

One quibble (and it's one I have with my own band mates)... you have a good product, great background show and awesome rigs. How about DRESSING to the part?? Put on some colorful garb. Cream certainly did!

Great performance, and I agree, nice stage setting.

And a bit more color in the outfits wouldn't hurt.

REALLY well done.

Thanks for the comments!

Funny thing, the last time we played there I wore a 60's-esque paisley dress shirt... figured I'd go with my England t-shirt for this one.
For The Who tribute band I play in, we dress as the members of The Who as they looked in the early 70's.
I've seen a couple other Cream tributes where they actually have tried to dress just like them, even wearing wigs... to me it looked a little silly.

...But I've got nothing against wearing a cool psychedelic shirt.

Fantastic. I love it. Must be great being able to roll out the big amps.

Just enough = tasteful but not silly. Go for it!

 I get error try again :(   Where did you get the Marshall bass cabs? Are they 60's or are they newer ones made up to look like vintage  cabs? How do you like the Marshall Major? My Major was my main amp since '82 untill about 5 years ago when I started adding Hiwatts. I at times miss the Marshalls sparkle.

The time sounded more steady (better) than Cream in a live situation

Thank you!
Our drummer is very methodical about time.
...and not under the influence of anything that Ginger normally took when they performed.  ;)

Ha... I'm with you...
Funny thing is that the sound guy wears hearing aids and hated our stage volume.
...The cabs are replica Marshall cabs that I had built, loaded with Celestion G12T-100s.

 As always Curt you go all out. I remember reading a Jack Bruce interview YEARS ago where they would stipulate crazy stuff like they wanted Altecs in the cabs and the when they got to the venue the would demand JBLs, just to F%#k with people.

Tribute bands with wigs and paisley shirts?  Sounds familiar here downunder.   ;D

I should add, great vibe and playing all round.  Nice work!

It ain't a real tribute unless the drummer is grumpy and incalculable.  :mrgreen:

Is that incalculable, incoherent, or both?   :rolleyes:

Whatever Ginger's failings and failures as a person are, I really like his drumming, it is très animated, but always swinging and fun to listen to.
