Re: Playing gigs in the 70's
We usually do four 50min. sets with a 10min. breaks between. Some place give free drinks (usually 1 drink per person, per set). Other places make you pay for everything. I usually try to include drinks And cut $50 off our price if they don't want to pay our full price. As a 6pc or 7pc band, we can easily drink $50 worth of beer at bar retail prices, but it actually costs the bar about half that. In the end, our take home pay is the same. We'll do 3hr gigs, acoustic gigs, Friday afternoon gigs.....our price varies accordingly. $300 is about the minimum and $600 is the most we've charged.

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
