Re: Describe your best gigging experience ever
My most recent show a couple weeks ago with my (original) Christian rock band, Jacob's Well. Played 3-4hrs & you could feel everything coming together as the night progressed...the owner of the place was jumpin', singin' along. What started out as a small, almost casual gig ended up absolutely rockin', and the band was tight by the end of the night. Best show I've had with that band.
My other current band is one of the funnest bands I've ever played with...every gig is awesome. It's just a classic rock cover band, stuff I've played for years, so there's really nothing to it for me. They only play the fair & festival circuit so there's no worry about getting a certain draw, and I can relax and have fun with it--I get to be the crazy drummer who never wears shoes. The rest of the band is half my age--literally...I have a teenage son the same age as a couple of the guys in the band--and the band has a big, loyal local following...it's not uncommon to sell $100-$200 in merch per show. That may not be much to bigger city bands, but that's unheardof for a small town cover band.
Def the best year I've had gigging in a while...
