Title: New gig photos (again)
Post by: Pekka on May 05, 2014, 06:17:53 AM
The lights were awful and the background Marshalls are tacky IMO but still our friend managed to take these great photos:

Unsure crate is unsure if he likes being used as an amp stand.

What's with railing in front of the stage?  I thought it was only Honkytonk joints that had to provide  protection to the band from the patrons?   :)

Is a great pic though ;)

Muse be one of those rodeo arenas where they need to keep the livestock away from the band.

Good photos, though.

If the guitarist had taped the crate with my first suggestion we wouldn't be watching these photos right now...

The railing is to keep the drunk people away from the stage. Usually that way around. This is Finland you know.

So, whadayaknow!?  ;D  Finland has something in common with with Texas Honky Tonks - except it's usually chicken wire or chain link fencing that's used ;D

Those are some nice pictures!

What's going on in the ones with you on 12-string & someone else on bass?

We once played our customary encore (a version of Fleetwood Mac's "Revelation") with me on drums and the other guitarist on bass and wanted to come up with something with a twist for this gig too so I suggested that both guitarists play a 4 string bass on it. :) Worked fine, pity it wasn't recorded. That's why there's smiles all around on those last pics though I look a bit worried in this:

Here's a version we did 2 years ago.

With all those strings you have to grapple with, I'd be worried too! Most men have issues getting one G string released in orderly fashion, you command three, ye Nordic Hamer of the Gods!!!  :mrgreen:

You must feel strung out after those gigs too ...
