Are you sure you're in Switzerland? Looks like a Hotel in BC with palm trees

 

[mbgreene]

Wow - There really is Smoke on the Water in Switzerland.

 

[Bill]

Beautiful pics! I'd love to visit Switzerland someday.

Hey Bill, the last time I was there I hung out with Bobby Hicks the whole time.

here's some shots of the first night. it was in the town community hall/gym

and some rig'age:

and a "Levin" style crowd photo:

was a great night, insanely hot and humid in that place as it was packed. had some great local organic brew afterwards from Wadesnwiller Biere, the "Ur-Hanf" was especially good.

now it's off to Lusanne (sp?) to play a hockey arena.

cheers!


ps. and yes, we were all commenting how similar it looks like the Okanagan around here, just better cheese

So you're there on tour? I did not know that. Sweet man.

A full house, and not a beer in sight! This church band thing is a real eye opener for someone like me. I'm amazed by the high percentage of bass forum people (here and at other forums) who play in church bands. It's an entire dimension of live music that I never knew existed until a year or so ago. One aspect that is really cool is that the church bands always seem to have pretty decent backline and nice PA gear, especially when you compare with house PAs in the average live music pub or bar.

PEte what do you focus on when playing to a room full of homely people?

JUST KIDDING.......

 

[Jodizzle]

Dang, that kid in the yellow has a really long arm .. I'm just sayin'

 

[Beth]

I think the long-armed kid in yellow has a twin -- look at the kid in the grey and black t-shirt

 

[Jodizzle]

Haha, true. Check out the woman in the front .. I think she's been Exorcized! (sp?)
And then the chick directly behind her .. her face is perfectly framed by peace signs.

I can hear the lightning revving up from here BP, better make a deposit in the ol' Karma Bank hehehehehehehehe

and it kind of goes hand in hand with Mark's remark... uh, ya,.... about not a beer in sight, that is the benefit of doing club work and less than a stellar crowd to behold is the almighty BEER GOGGLES!!!

but of course none can usually handle me in all my glory without a cocktail or two....

anywho, just landed in Hamburg, will hopefully get some pics from Lausanne CH(yesterday) and the Hamburg gig tonight.

cheers me dears!

 

[tiffles]

pete.... pluck those strays... they are threatening to put you in mono land.

 

[Big Poppa]

if I'm gonna get struck down I might as well do down big. That was the strangest looking crowd I have ever seen.

 

[timmy5strings]

Amen !:d
