GRANTS PASS

NOT THE BEST OF GIGS FOR US TONITE . THE STAGE SOUND WAS REALLY DRY, THE PA, NOT UP TO THE JOB, SO OUR SOUND WAS SOMEWHAT STIFLED OUT FRONT I FEEL . THE DRUMS WERE DRY AND IT AS HARD WORK TO GET ANYTHING COMING BACK TO FEED OFF OF . WE WERE ALL IN THE SAME POSITION SO ITS WASNT JUST ME ...A SHAME CAUSE AS USUAL WE WERE UP FOR A GOOD NIGHT , AND THE ELEMENTS DEFEATED WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO .WE HAD A GREAT JOURNEY DOWN FROM COOS BAY THE WEATHER WAS FANTASTIC AND THE SCENERY MIND BLOWING ...WEVE BEEN OUT FOR NEARLY 8 WEEKS NOW AND ALTHOUGH WERE STILL KICKING ASS WHEREVER POSSIBLE , YOU CANT WIN THEM ALL ..THE SORT OF GIGS WHERE YOU CAN DEVELOPE REAL DEEP BLISTERS FOR TRYING TOO HARD ...OVERGRIPPING THE STICKS AS OPPOSED TO BEING RELAXED . THE CROWD WERE GREAT AS USUAL AND LOTS OF HAPPY FACES AFTERWARDS SAYING IT WAS A GREAT SHOW . SO WITH THAT SAID IT PROBABLY WAS BETTER OUT FRONT THAN ON STAGE ...........AS IVE SAID BEFORE WE NEVER TURN UP AND CLOCK IN , WE ALWAYS TRY AND CREATE SOMETHING EVERY NIGHT WHEREVER POSSIBLE . I GUESS WERE JUST PERFECTIONISTS WHEN IT COMES TO THE MUSIC , AND PROUD OF IT .ON TO SAN FRANSISCO TOMORROW FOR THE FILLMORE WEST . A GREAT ROOM AND PRODUCTION . ALWAYS A GOOD GIG .. SEE YA AFTER THE SHOW .COME SAY HELLO .............BYE .......

  1. Hey Pete,
    Really enjoying the blog, so keep it up my man. I'm sure lots are also enjoying the ride.Bet you're looking forward to the break coming up though. Can you tell Uncle R that dad gave me a copy of the new album sent by Derek. Really enjoying it. Think Skin & Bone and Find a place are excellent.
    Cheers mate, all the best for the rest of the tour. By the way Man City are buying lots of players. Big rumours of John Terry on his way there. My team Arsenal are quitely going about their business but will be very strong this season. Ashes starts on Wednesday too.Aussie fast bowler Brett Lee out....Never mind aye

  2. Hi Pete,

    I'm enjoying following your blog - it would make a good screenplay for Robert de Niro - The reviews confirm you are all giving it 100% even when faced with less than perfect sound sytems and the acoustics of some venues.

    The videos posted on YouTube prove you are firing on all cylinders. Your site is looking great - you seem to be getting hairier every day. Is it really you, or is Bigfoot on the loose again?

    Enjoy the rest of the tour - give my regards to Robin, and the rest of the boys - you take care - keep on sending the punters home smiling, and give my regards to Angie.

    Regards
    Ronnie Kerrigan
