Title: 'Take Me to the River --> Before You Accuse Me" Live at a local pub w/Lurker.
Post by: Blooby on October 22, 2015, 07:40:23 PM

Sorry we have posted "Take Me to the River" before, but I thought this captured the reckless abandon indicative of our second sets (4-5 beers into the evening). It has a certain warty charm. Perhaps it's the almost aggressive apathy of the crowd.

Live from a local eatery. Auxiliary out from the mixing board straight into my original Micro Br. Had to squash this MP3 a tad.

Hope all is well out there. Work has been a bear since school started up again.

Peace.

Blooby & Lurker

Yes, what a great recording. I can hear the punters chatting away in the background while you sweat it out over your guitars.

Terrific all around. Great dynamics.

Outstanding guys, really excellent perfirmance. Blooby, I would love to see a pic of your pedal spread for a live gig, what looper do you use? I have an itch for the big ass boss one...
Rock on!

It was a Lexicon JamMan, but I recently switched to a Boss (the one with two tracks).

John mercilessly teases me about the extensive array at my feet. It has certainly caused a headache or three at soundchecks. Ironically, I show up to electric jams usually with just an amp and a Tube Screamer.

Thanks for the favorable comments, people.

I sent this to Bruce because I don't have the software to properly prep the piece.  In my view, it's the guitar that makes this noteworthy.  Bruce was all over it.  My vocal gaffs are just few enough to minimize distractions from his virtuosity.

Actually, Bruce cut off a few minutes of noodling from the beginning.  It was awesome.  He's so selfish not to share it with you.  Bad Blooby!  The best part of it was that I wasn't on stage yet.

Rock on!

Wow that's soo good. What a great live sound. I still have your museum of oddities card in my wallet. It's on its way to disney land in Paris today :-)

Blooby, you have mastered that looper, the last time I tried to use one. I couldn't get the damn thing to stop. That pedal board is impressive. Super anmd silky guitar playing, awesome. Lurker, the vocals are outstanding. Reminds me lots of Bad English (what a great band that was).
Brilliant guys

Live is always good but this is a fantastic recording and the performances rock! I used to "try" to limit myself to 3 pedals for gigging by using a boss three space pedal board....but it never seemed tp work. Somehow an extra pedal or two would end up on the floor next to it. Nice effects in your gig bag Bloopy!
