cheese and crackers that's a lot of gear...guess you don't need to hit the gym too much after hauling that stuff in and out!!! Loud is fun though, have a great gig. Nice guitars too!

Ok..... at the age most of the band members appear, I'm sure there are one or two with kids, well.... maybe even teenagers. Ever hear of child labor???? There is your "road crew".... put the kids to work! Because at your age you'll be herniating stacking those 4x12 cabs! Have a great show!

Well, we had a great gig.
Almost 700 counted at the door, which is a killer crowd for standard radio spots and flyers up 1 week prior to the show.



We recorded the night on Cubase with a direct feed off the mixing board through Mark Of The Unicorn digital converters diretly into my Sony Vaio laptop. Our soundman owns a recording studio with Michael Vescera- yup- the singer of many Yngwie Malemsteen records- and he dumped the recording into his REAL ProTools studio for mixdown.



Also, we had a Videographer who tapes for a cable Sportschannel show there recording video all night- idea is to sync the video with ProTools audio mix for a really high quality demo on our website. It should be ready in a week or so.



The UV77MC (Holy Grail) was ASTOUNDING.
Although I was a bit afraid to let-it-rip 'cause I haven't learned the limitations of the trem yet, I did an "eruption" style guitar-apella opening of the second set and she didn't let me down :^).
