I had all of the graces of a major label artist standing on the pinnacle of technological cutting edge.mindblowing just to sit and watch the led's flash.An SSL console with an effects rack that you could not believe."Can we make that guitar solo go backwards against the track?"Two patch cords and push a button.But I got so cut by my engineers..."can you play half as many notes half as fast?I was completely broken apart and then re-built.And I was the one calling all of the shots.I did not have to listen to anyone yet I am so glad I did.I learned about leaving space,what the EQ parameters for whichever instrument I was playing.So much different than "live.""Live" to me is a performance totally of that moment and of course a riot as well.But a fun one you know?Not a payoff or a schill,a bunch of pretty girls get up onstage...they are not tearing our clothes off or anything they are just up onstage grooving,well at times it gets pretty close and hard to perform when a lovely booty is pressing up against your bass strings and you are stroking her hair trying to get up to the mic to sing.And her boyfriend is in the audience being really cool about it.We are just working you know,a little dance band from nowhere bringing down the house.Time and Time again.Next time too!!
