BluesKing777 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 These blurry pics are of a 7 piece blues band I played in at a bike festival approx 1989 or 89. The piano player lent a roadie his camera to take photos of the band while we were playing - he did take 3 blurry photos of the band and crowd and the rest of the film roll of the strippers I also have a cassette of the gig recorded straight off the mixing desk - guitar sounds great but they forgot some of the others.... First pic has me second from the left - good pic , eh - I can tell you it was a Gibson Les Paul Custom: So the first time I played there was years before on the Saturday night and the place was jumping. Never agree to playing Sunday afternoon - the crowd were a bit burned out: BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Love the pics. "Memories are made of this.".............I play outdoors at a Harley dealership in Blue Springs each year, but it's not as big as the place in your pics. Your pics have a Woodstock look to them,.,........BTW, I like the tuners on your Les Paul....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatbaroque Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Great memories. Is that Zombie chillin' in the shopping cart ? haha...i'm guessing that wasn't BK's Abba cover band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 The crowd may have liked a bit of ABBBA, especially if the goils went a bit err...loose on the clothes If I had my time over again, I would have sacked the band, kept the WHOLE fee and played solo acoustic - something like this recording I just did on my OM28 Marquis..... Just a bit of rambling along on the Marquis for a Sunday afternoon outdoor concert: https://soundcloud.com/bk7-3/rambling777a Though the guy in the shopping cart may have woken up grumpy without some bass and drums.... :mellow: What am I saying - I wouldn't take that magnificent OM28 guitar to an outdoor concert - mic may do the job live but....luck of the day. Better to take a pickup'd guitar! I have a couple.... BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Loaded a couple more photos from that day - the others are XXX rated of the strippers. This one is the 2 nutters, guitar and piano, at the left of the earlier picture above of the whole band on stage - piano player, sax player and bass player no longer alive and the others have lost their marbles : BluesKing777.
