Yikes!
Lumpy Gravy was as I was told notorious for this happening: Sound Man works
briefly with you on your setup and even agrees to record to your DAT during the
show, all sounds fine during sound check, get back for the gig and it all sounds
different, no time to check with the guy who's not there, and noone
records the gig as well. Phooey on that place, even if it
is named after a Zappa album, and presented itself as a nice
venue.

Nemoguitt@aol.com put forth: GALS.....went in 2 hours early for a sound check....."we supply all the speakers etc.".....the sound guy took all my inputs and rearranged them in my mixer and sent it out to his console.....for about 2 mins this sounded ok (total sound check) but i was worried and not quite happy.....i am not a great or even good player, but i do pride myself in "my sound".....WELL, 8:00 o'clock comes and the first note i hit sounds like *shit* and i begin to get worried.....this is nothing like what we had set up and his configuration totally freaked me, things were not where they should have been.....where was the sound guy, NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.....yikes, the show must go on and no one wants to see a 53 year old man cry, although i was sweating like a pig in the sahara, so thankfully they could not see my tears.....IT WAS AWFUL, i had no control of anything, boy does that make you feel like being adventuresome.....then after cutting it about 10 mins. short everyone comes up and says "wow that was cool " and LIES to that effect.....thankfully the WILD TURKEY (sorry no scotch) kicked in and i did not burn my guitar and rang.....i will never play through someone elses system again.....in fact, this solo thing is getting to weird, i need other warm bodies to help the tunes out.....sorry for such a goofy post but if i cant share this with you all who can i share it with.....:(m |
