Back in 1990 I was on the road with a four piece band , two female singers a guy guitar player and myself . I was playing an electronic kit with real cymbals and we were playing along to some sequenced tracks with live vocals and live guitar solos . It was a cool band ...anyway .
We were in Kennewick Washington . I look down and the next song coming up was Bostons "Long Time" . So I close my eyes and I hear the count in , I'm wearing headphones , and that organ intro starts . Just then I hear this loud voice yell "..YOU , ME , LATER !!" and it startled me . I open my eyes and it's a drunk lady two inches from my face telling me she wants to get with me . Well just then a BIG guy jumps on stage to pull her off , I look over to the keyboards where the guitar player usually stands to see if he's going to turn the sequencer off . Well he's over picking his girlfriend , one of the female singers , off the floor because this girl knocked her over to get up on stage ! So the song is still going and all I could think of was to start playing . So it gets to the part where I have to accent on the cymbals with the organ , if you hear the song you'll know what I mean . But right on cue when I hit that first cymbal the first punch is thrown and lands ! Then all heck breaks loose ! And here I am still playing the song . And it's that long build up before the guitar comes in . And it was like I was playing the sound track to this huge brawl ! LOL !! And it was all happening on the dance floor so I felt safe . And chairs are flying and hats and bottles ! And this whole time I'm still playing that intro to that song . Then when the organ intro is over and the guitar is about to come in I get up and turned the sequencer off . The whole thing was over by then , just a big mess in the club !
Every time I hear that song on the radio I break out laughing hysterically !
