“The G3 Tour kicked off in Tucson on Tuesday, January 23rd. It was great to be on stage with Eric and Joe again after playing the first G3 show with the same lineup over 27 years ago. is.”
It was a bit of a rough start for me. We started the first song, “Avalancha,” but within minutes my rig went down with an untraceable ghost inside the machine. We went to our jam rig and got right back into the song, but within a minute the amp died. It’s not a pretty sight, but it can happen. I replaced another head and finished the set. Unfortunately, he was unable to use Hydra that night. Hydra’s audio output requires full gig equipment to work, and that was down.
Oddly enough, I’ve been in much worse situations in the past. Note to guitarists: If you’re playing a show with a quick changeover plan, it’s a good idea to have a spare rig or back up pieces on your rig. I usually have a complete spare rig and some spare heads. And if they all go down, I’ll connect to someone else’s rig. Hmm, is it Eric’s rig or Joe’s rig? If your rig goes down during a show, the most important thing is to stay calm and focused, even if the audience likes to see some funny ruckus every once in a while. .
In the worst case scenario, he would pull his pants down to his ankles and raise his arms above his head in a show of defeated humiliation. I was exactly at that point. Hmm, will the audience laugh or cheer? Maybe I’ll save that for an encore. ”
