At the end of the night we grab our guitars and leave the rest of the gear undisturbed until the next morning. Tubes ARE odd things. Our singer once accidentally dumped most of a Jack and Coke into the top of his Boogie – nothing happened! His amp guy was very confused by the black stuff that was burned all over the plate inside the amp.

…there have been several nights where other bars in town closed early due to lack of patronage because we were playing down the street and the place was packed with a couple hundred people. As for turning up, I have a Marshall 4100 half stack and our singer / rythem player has a mesa boogie dual rectifier half stack – murderously loud in a small bar! Our last number of the night is “the loud E medley” Longtrain Runnin’ to Song2 (in E) to I’d walk 500 Miles (thrash version with many unfortunate “F bombs” ) to Keep On Rockin’ in the Freeworld. By the end of this, my amp is on at least 8.
