When we had our first band, just out of high school,we were playing a party at a friends house, of course the cops were called....after turning down, we played one more song before tearing down, "Police On My Back" from The Clash.
Last year, playing a local bar, two huge cops come in chasing after avery small woman, who ended up hiding under our merchandise table. This time we played "Jailbreak" (Thin Lizzy version).
Playing at a lounge in a Holiday Inn, the fire alarm goes off....we launch into "Smoke On The Water", didn't leave the stage, and by the time we were done they had killed the false alarm.
Month or so ago, I'm playing our last set, and my kick pedal feels funny, like its catching or something. I fidget and fuss and get thru the song, and then I discover that I had punched right thru the head. (I'm not a particularly heavy hitter, either.) I tried to switch over to the left pedal, which would hit a little bit off center on the head, and failed miserably. Fortunately there were only a couple songs left, and I discovered if I hit it softly, it wouldn't go all the way thru, so we turned the kick mic up some more and I babied it thru two more songs....
