Bongo on Stage!

[AnthonyD]

Okay folks - first gig of 2012 is in the bag. Our favorite venue, Rhythms in Manville, NJ. Pretty exciting for us in that Irene almost shut 'em down for good (they were under 5+ feet of water). After a serious renovation, they are back and so are we.

This is a clip of Pink Cadillac. Audio is a bit better than "poor" but the vibe is good. This is our opening song for our second set and we've got a stage dancer that joined the Band for this one. At about 2:08 you see me ask my cousin who she is since I assumed he invited her up to join us between sets; he tells me he has no idea.

As they often do. Nice work!

I like it!

I think she was just having a great fun! Nothing bad happen! I'm not against that people step on the stage in a a good will to have some fun and feel the stage with a band!

Very cool. I love watching videos of all y'all playing. Looks like you brought out the big guns (SVT) for that show.

Agreed! She joined us for two other songs over the course of the set; the last time with two other ladies. It was lots of fun, if not a *bit* awkward... My wife was dancing right in front of the stage with her girlfriend and they were getting a bit concerned about her intentions.

Always! I love this rig - I hate the struggle to see the freakin' settings but love my tone (whoever designed the knobs on the SVT-Pro needs a talking' to!).

It's always a bit of a crapshoot when you let random people on stage, especially when they have some alcohol in them. It's surprising how many people think they're great singers!

That one didn't turn out too bad. One of our members shared a story last year about a spectator who fell on his Stingray and the drums. Didn't hurt the stingray but messed up the drums.

Years ago while playing a street fair we had a cute young thing jump on stage and was practically climbing on me. Sadly, I had to run her off before my wife got there. I felt bad because the girl ran scared after that.

Very nice

I really really like the drummers' playing!

Thanks! We were locked-in and taking cues from one-another right from his audition two years back. He is a bass player's dream drummer - I love playing with him.
