I just got back from a festival gig with my Eagles tribute band. It was a hot rod/muscle car thing, and there were scantily-clad vixens galore during the afternoon (lots of walking around to kill the time at those gigs). At concert time, the vixens showed up and danced in front of the stage while the carboys nursed their Budweisers.
It was a really fun gig. Good crowd, good ambiance, good staffers.
I had a new toy to break in, a BBE Green Screamer, which I like a lot. I was able to dial in a great creamy tone immediately, just before soundcheck. I sing the Henley numbers, and play most of the licks and solos, so there's little time for me to bend down and tweak while playing.
It was a long day. We had to be onsite at 2:30, setup and soundcheck asap, and be done by 5. The gig itself was at 9. That gave us time to wander around and check out the babes and the cars.

Oh, and I bought myself a cowboy hat :-)
