Bit late, but better late than never...
Our regular "first Friday of the month" gig at the Old Colonial in Fitzroy went pretty well. Played a bunch of new tunes (new to us, anyway), "Fortunate Son", "Last Dance with Mary Jane" being amongst them, plus a bunch of songs we haven't done in a while. Even had a crowd!!
#1 son's vocals are coming along nicely, he's singing bv's on most songs. He's looking for a song to sing, so I'm looking forward to that. Give me (and the audience) a break.
I'm getting close to the use-by date on the EL84's in my AC30, I think- had a couple of "valve-on-the-way-out" sounds early in the night, maybe swap them around in the holders until I get another set. I usually get 50-60 gigs out of a set, before I start getting tone issues.
Played the Korean hockshop queen for a set, until I broke a string... trem abuse!! Still needs a tweak on pup heights, but it's gettin' there.
All in all, a good one.
Let's hear what you're all up to guys....
