STORMY OLE NIGHT .!!!!!!!!!!

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT OLD THEATRES I REALLY LIKE .I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS ,BUT SOME HAVE MADE THE SUCCESSFUL CHANGE INTO ROCK VENUES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I WOULDNT MIND OWNING ONE OF THEM AND PUT GIGS ON OCCASIONALLY .LAST NIGHTS VENUE WAS ONE SUCH ROOM.OLD THEATRE WALLS AND REALLY HIGH CEILINGS,FUNKY OLD FITTINGS,AND
A CONCERT STAGE AT ONE END WITH A BAR RUNNING ALONG THE BACK .IT WAS AVERY STORMY NIGHT OUT THERE LAST NIGHT ,AND IT WAS A BIT ON STAGE TOO.. IT WAS ONE OF THOSE GIGS THAT REALLY TOOK TIME , ACOUSTICALLY TO SETTLE DOWN,....VERY HARD TO LISTEN TO YOUR BANDMATES DUE TO THE FREQUENCIES FLYING AROUND...NO MATTER WHAT THE MONITOR MAN DID FOR ME ,IT WAS NEVER ENOUGH ,NOT ENOUGH BASS ONE MINUTE , GTR NEEDED MORE OF THE NEXT , TURN VOCALS DOWN ,TURN SNARE UP ,ALL THAT SORT OF THING . IT WAS THE SAME FOR US ALL .SO NONE OF US REALLY SETTLED INTO A GROOVE,WELL NOT TO OUR STANDARDS ANYWAY .IT WAS WORKING WELL AT THE END BECAUSE I FEEL WE ALL SETTLED FOR WHAT WE COULD GET OUT OF IT , AND THATS WAS DOIN A GREAT JOB UNDER PRESSURE FROM THE ACOUSTICS. WE STILL , AND ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD TIME OUT THERE . BUT WHEN WE CAN'T HEAR EACH OTHER REALLY WELL ,ITS A DOWNER SOMEWHAT TO NOT FEEL THAT PLACE WE CAN REACH .OOOOOO VERY HIPPY THAT EH ? STEADY BOY!!!!!!
I PICKED UP TWO MAJOR BLISTERS ON MY MIDDLE FINGERS , WHICH I COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT AT THIS STAGE OF THE TOUR AS WERE GOIN INTO A RUN OF 4 SHOWS ....BUT NEVER MIND EH ? WERE OF TO KANSAS CITY TODAY ....THANKS TO THE LOVELY FOLK OF MISSOURI FOR MAKING US VERY WELCOME ...BOY DID THEY GET WET OUT THERE .....SEE YA
