Hi all,

My band of 29 years played our last job together 3 weeks ago. With several of the members doing a fair amount of job related traveling, and a general slow down of bookings for larger bands, we decided to end things. Of course we are all good friends so it's not like we won't be talking to each other but it is still sad to see it end. Here is our website; www.impactband.com .

Anyway, at our farewell gig, the person who hired us was really into jazz organ and paid extra to move my XB3 (Hammond Suzuki) and 145 to the venue. Here is a short little video someone took of that gig. This is the first time I have played pedals in years. The audio quality is terrible; the sound was being picked up only by the video camera’s internal microphone. Video

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed playing it!

Dave

I really enjoyed your playing the B. Nice work for someone who hasn't kicked pedals in years.

Dave excellent. Sad to see you guys break up the band, there's not enough good players with the chops like you guys have.

Been there, WDMcM. It is a sad occasion to be sure. I guess the only way now is to get in on the arranger scene. Tell you what though, even with all the latest and greatest technology there's nothing that replaces the chemistry of a bunch of guys just givin' 'er.

The important thing is to just keep on rockin'. All the best to ya.

yeah..with all this technology..you just need a good keyboard and you sound like an entire opera...but there's not the same flavor...it's a sad thing that you guys broke up the band...and impressive song list-best wishes

All I can say is "WOW"!

Both Respect and the Jazz clip are fantastic.

Dave... I feel your loss ... we were together 26 yrs when a company move (my day job) broke us up ... It was sad indeed ... without that 'security blanket' around me, I didn't play a gig for 7 years !!!

Dave,

Sorry to hear the group is no longer together! Is it possible some of you could form a smaller group? I'm sure you will maintain contact, especially after being together all thoses years.
