    Default Playing in front of 15,000 people

    My 15,000 person crowd/gig...

    As per PB's request from the Mapex fans thread I offer up a video story of my gig last summer at our local fair.

    I grew up 4 blocks north of this area and had always dreamed of performing in the grandstands. Last summer my dream came true.

    My band opened for a country act, Chris Cagle. Never had heard of him and haven't since.... None the less 15,000 people were there and so was I.

    The following videos were sort of a mini video story from the time I drove up until the final song.

    A couple of the vids are long and take a few minutes to load so if you plan on watching them, please allow a few minutes for the larger ones or at least the last one to load. It could take up to 5 minutes. It's only on a lightweight server I have.

    Thanks for watching!!!

    Thanks, guys!!

    Gonefishin, it was a blast and really a little intimidating until I got through the intro of the first song. Plus, I'd only been with this band about 6 months so there was still some uneasy spots for me.

    I think I know how you felt , in the one video , you were filming the crowd as they were cheering . I thought I was sitting behind the set as that was happening . Nice job ,thanks for sharing that with us .

    All I can say is thank you for being patient while they load. I know they are slow going so I truly appreciate your support.

    With this kind of an audience, it provokes me to want to share this stuff.

    A HUMBLE THANK YOU!!!
