Members bassred Posted November 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 22, 2008 SO the show was great! What a band, so tight, lots of energy, can't say anything bad about it except I didn't get to meet them and shake their hands. it was really , really good. As a Delbert fan, I was blown away, it was every bit as good as I had hoped it would be, which is saying a lot because I have wicked high expectations when it comes to live music... As a bass player and sound guy, I was less than thrilled... from what I could tell the bass player was using a soundgear bass.. I've never been a fan... he was using an Ampeg rig, I've never been a fan of them, tonight was just affirmation of my previous opinions. It sounded like ampeg. all fat and no definition. It really could have used a good dose of mids. Not a lot, but some so it wasn't just incoherent rumble. THe tone sounded really good on one song, but one out of an hour+ worth is not a good percent.... Also, the horns (which made my guitar player cream himself, they were that good, and only two of them....) were a hair too loud when they were acenting any part that had vocals, they really buried Delbert in a few parts, and he was already plenty loud and on top of the mix... I'm so glad I went, I've missed Delbert a bunch of times because we always seemed to be playing when he came to town, and now I've seen him, and it was good... I can't help but think this is sort of prophetic, too much to be coincidence, I finally start writing AND I finally get a chane to see Delbert play his tunes live... must be fate, this means something... that might just be the Jameson talking.... With Vegas concert venue prices I was glad my guitar player and his wife brought a small flask of Jameson in, otherwise I would have been parched..... ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chris-dax Posted November 22, 2008 Members Share Posted November 22, 2008 hey BR - glad you got a good show.... He came through Denver a couple of years ago and showed up with just guitar, bass, keys and drums... sound guy was weak... of course, Delbert was great...but I did not feel like I got what I went for...

Members bassred Posted November 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 22, 2008 Forgot to add some funny moments from the night... I was comped a starbucks coffee.. THey had none made and I waited until they made new coffee, the kid gave me my Grande coffee for free... go me I walked up to the 'WIll Call' table in a sea of elderly folks (the casino he was playing in caters to the local crowd, which in Vegas means the old folks) and the gal looks at me and asks :"Is this a Band ticket or did you buy one?" I guess with my 'look' (Hat, tinted glasses, vest over a nice shirt, jeans {Levi's 542 Low flare, women's jeans} and John FLuevog boots) put together as it is (always, unless I'm at the gym) she could tell I wsn't part of the normal clientelle, sadly i had bought my ticket.... so that was a few fun things besides the show itself........

Members Tolka Posted November 22, 2008 Members Share Posted November 22, 2008 I love Delbert's music. The band are always tight and full of energy. I'd love to see hime live, but I doubt if he'll ever come to Ireland. Ah well !! At least I have his albums to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassred Posted November 23, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 We cover 'Every Time I Roll the Dice.' What a great performer. Enjoy the show! We do "Roll the DIce" too! and "WHy Me" .. I do "shotgun Rider" on my acoustic and I love to mess around with "Shaky Ground" on bass! It was every bit as good as I had hoped, One of the best shows I've seen in a while, right up with the DOobie Bros, they are equally as tight, but in a differnet way ...

Members ezstep Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 I've seen him a couple of times. He always gets my feet to tappin'. I like a lot of his songs, but one of my favorites is the duet "Good Man, Good Woman." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world needs more appreciation for this kind of music IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
