Thread Name: Bad experiences at gigs
Subject: RE: Bad experiences at gigs
It was our first major gig--a 'benefit'--- for what was supposed to be a huge audience, for our percussionist's wife's family reunion. Over 300 people we were told. It was at a community hall, with many of the participants having driven up in campers, where they were to stay overnight.
At the time we were to play there were all these long presentations going on by a long-winded m.c.
Then, at the break, everybody made a break for it.
We started...there were 4 people standing around, and they mostly left after the first song.
We did 3 sets, with the most enthusiastic fan being a large black lab who would keep coming in, standing by the stage, and looking intently at us.
Later we were told that the people camping outside said they did enjoy our music.
