Caffeinated Blues! Cool! Sounds like you had a good time.
Myra, me and the other boys had an evening gig today, downtown Camrose. The stage was right on the street. It was fun. We practiced just once (yesterday) and we learned a whole bunch of new tunes, and even if we did screw up some of them a bit, it was nice to have some fresh material.
Several SRV tunes we had never done before. "Hug You, Squeeze You", "Tightrope", "I'm Cryin", "Empty Arms".
We also covered 2 tunes Bonamassa plays - "Wild About You", "I Don't Live Anywhere". We are learning "Pack It Up" too.
I used my Suhr and my Hellhound (portability reasons) and I got good tone. The Blues Driver worked great for blues, and some Maxon SD-9 for fatter distorted tones on some songs.

Looks like a fun gig!
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

Way to go Robert, you guys look very satisfied, thats the reason for the music.

Cool! You even had astroturf!
Were all the instruments in the PA? Looks like your amp is mic'd.

Yeah, the guitar was mic'd, and the drums. The bass player has a nice Ampeg bass combo, and I think it has a line out. Nice sounding amp.
This picture is funny - it wasn't arranged either.
