Last gig with YC/DC? tonight :(
« on: October 21, 2011, 10:59:48 AM »
Yep, an end of a gigging era for me due to my change of job.  5 1/2 years with my AC/DC tribute band and I have my final gig tonight, in a local pub in Stockport.  This was the first proper band I've been in, and I've learnt a hell of a lot.  Especially how to get Angus' tone and play a bit like him!  :lol:

It's been a really great experience that's honed my timing and use of gear, plus it's been an absolute pleasure to play with some great musicians.  Oh, and a great drummer  ;)

Hopefully tonight will be a top gig (I have quite a few friends and some family coming) but it'll be a bit sad too.  The SG goes up for sale soon and maybe the half stack.  :(

*sniff*

Is this at the Baker's Vaults by any chance?

Kidding! I might stick my head round the door at some point, depends what time my guests bugger off tonight.

Hope it's a good one. Always a sad night a final gig with a band you enjoy, but usually fun, too!

Final gigs are tough, man. When Monster Joe did its last gig after a twelve year run this summer, I died a bit on stage...

I have to ask though, selling the SG? Did you buy it specifically for this band?

Yep, I only use a SG with this band.  I'm a PRS or Tele man...

By the time I got to this I would think its all over. I hope it went well Dave. I've always found last gigs very enjoyable in a bitter sweet way -unless I was glad to be going of course.

It's good to end an era with a peak.  :)
