Last night we did a benefit for Vietnam Veterans and victims of Agent Orange. They were scheduled to do a motorcycle run about 75 miles to the gig location, but it was raining and a lot didn't make it. But they trickled in as the night went on. I've got so much respect for all the Veterans that endured that fiasco!
The rhythm section warmed up the room with 'Stormy Monday', and then the whole band opened with 'Green Onions'. I've got some work to do polishing them up, but at least my tone was good...I was using the Z-Plus, I love that amp!
It's our band's first outing this season, and the very first time we've broken the rhythm section away from the rest of the band for Combo stuff. Bass, 2 Guitars, Drums, Vocals. We only rehearsed twice before this show, so all things considered I think it's worth posting.
EDIT: I'm glad that Stormy Monday was done to an almost empty hall. I had a moment or two but MAN, do I ever need to work on that. Way more blown notes than good ones. Still, we only tried this a couple of times and my index finger has a big split that hurt like hell. I pulled it down.
Green Onions wasn't bad though, there's a link to it down the thread.

That’s great playing Dave, and sounds like a lot of fun. That Plus did you right as well.

Thanks! We did try Stormy Monday as a bass-guitars-drum warm up but I pulled it down when I realized how bad I sucked on that song. To be fair, we were cold and had only rehearsed it once, but it was bad...
Green Onions was the opener with the Big Band and it was way better. It's really fun playing with these guys, they're all seasoned pros and I'm in deep water with them! I've been with the group for about 7 years and I've learned so much! Much to learn though.
