• Weedpuller plays again

    From Digital Man@VERT to All on Sat Aug 3 22:04:42 2024
    My employer asked Weedpuller to play a 10th Anniversary party in San Francisco. We hadn't played together in 20 years (!), so it was definitely some effort to get together, practice, and prepare and work out all the logistics, but it was well worth it.

    Not obvious in the videos, but yes, there were hundreds (ultimately, thousands) of people in attendance, they just weren't very close to the stage as apparently the sound system was full-concert-level loud and the venue very big, so people could hear/enjoy the music just fine from hundreds of feet away. <shrug>

    I hope you enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-JUUwxXqZB3NgVfDCMQpNbD_rhEZlxvW

    That's cool. :) Good sounding band. And I noticed the bass player is playing a G&L - I have a couple of G&L guitars, and I think they make good stuff.

    How funny - the video for Surrender came up yesterday in my YT feed, I
    didn't make the connection. Nice!

    With the dress shirt and hat, you had some early Bun E. Carlos vibes
    going on there. Round, wirerim glasses, a skinny black tie and smoking
    cigarettes behind the kit is all you'd need to complete the look. :)

    Thank you, it was. The unfortunate part was that the event planners insisted that the band start at the same time that the doors opened, which meant a lot of people missed some or all of our performance, even though they tried very hard to arrive early/on-time. The hall was huge, so there were still hundreds (and by the time we completed our set, thousands) of attendees present, but just not right by the dance floor and stage as is apparent in the videos.
