Members dan88z Posted December 23, 2014 Members Share Posted December 23, 2014 This Saturday the 27th. Opening up for my "hippy" band at a theater that is just a fantastic venue to play a gig. Great PA, with line arrays flown, subs under the stage, digital board, a dozen monitor mixes if you need them. The show sold out early last week even after they rearranged some of the tables/reserved seats to open up 50 more general admission tix. . I don't get nervous much but I'm already excited about this one. We did a dress rehearsal at a rehearsal/video place last week just to run the show end to end since we didn't do any warmup gigs. I have my rig set up at home for the week so I can run my parts and make last minute tweaks to my patches and sound effects. Can't wait! Here's the band website in case anyone wants to check it out- www.echoesrocks.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nchangin Posted December 23, 2014 Members Share Posted December 23, 2014 The demo's sound pretty good, lead singers voice is close to original. Enjoyed the music, sounded spot on musically as a copy, never played Floyd stuff live, sounds challenging to say the least! In the Flesh was my favorite track, would like to see some video of the upcoming show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kramerguy Posted December 24, 2014 Members Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'm jealous. But in a good way. I'd personally love to move to a tribute band like that, or Rush, or Zep... drool. Nice job Dan, site looks great, demos sound good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dan88z Posted December 24, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2014 Thanks! Those are cuts from rehearsal, all live, no overdubs, and a rough mix. Our rehearsal place has a Pro Tools setup so we record everything for reference. We have a multi camera video shoot for the gig and their board can also export to Pro Tools so we're hoping to get some nice demo material out of it.

Members Kramerguy Posted December 24, 2014 Members Share Posted December 24, 2014 Off topic, but oddly enough, the two best recordings I've ever done were one on one of those zoom recorders (rehearsal) and the other on my tascam digital 8-track where I made a scratch track that turned out (in my opinion) better than the studio recording done later. Having recorded in several studios at this point, I have to say that most are crap. Either poor engineering or poor production, but there's always something missing anymore. I miss the old days when it was seemingly more of an art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wesg Posted December 26, 2014 Members Share Posted December 26, 2014 Great sounding band. I'm jealous, too. What's the organist playing? The sim is pretty good, probably a Vent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wesg Posted December 26, 2014 Members Share Posted December 26, 2014 Funny observation, BTW. The only song name I recognized (kinda) was Run Like Hell. But I knew every track. Why? Because I don't listen to Floyd songs. I listen to albums. Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dan88z Posted December 27, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2014 wesg, I'm the keys player, I use an SK1 into a Vent, run in stereo. Some of those demos might be the SK1 straight without the Vent, for a while I wasn't using it. I have the SK sim tweaked pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SbrickwallS Posted January 15, 2015 Members Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hey Dan88z, I'm assuming that your show has already passed? If you got any video of it I'd love to see some man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
