Like any bands, we;ve had our trying times, but we've managed to get over them. The "Waybacks" is a show band, the emphasis being on "show". Yes we make every effort to keep the music tight and precise, but there's just so much more going on besides the music, shtick, comedy, audience participation, and as I'm sure you're aware, the entire "show" is scripted and blocked, so it's a lot like doing a musical play, and yes there are times when we can adlib a little, but for the most part...it's a "show".
Our other band, "Consenting Adults"..is a hard driving, innovative, and exciting night of Rock & Roll, and R&B.
Thanx Don...I'm glad you enjoyed the photos.

Hi Shboom . . . Impressive pics of what looks like was an exciting night of musical entertainment for both you and your band, as well as the audience!

Your pics highlight the fact (at least to me) how no 'one-man' band act would be able to hold the attention & maintain the energy of a large audience the way a full band has the ability to do. Btw: I noticed you didn't use your arranger keyboard on that gig.

I personally find the best (most personally gratifying) venues for a one man band musician act to be the initimate bar lounge/smallerconcert settings of no more than 100 people, offering that venue's unique a one on one interchange with the audience. Larger concert venues require (or at least benefit) from having a live band to provide more visual stage impact plus on stage interaction between band members to keep the crowd energized throughout an entire evening. Not only can I not imagine a one man band act up on that stage pulling this off all night with an arranger keyboard alone, but suspect the crowd would quickly feel cheated, with no sexy girl singers to watch, or live musician backing rhythm section to provide the boost of musicial energy that only a live band can provide.

Shboom, thanks again for sharing the terrific pics.

Scott

Scott...You should know me by now...that I don't use an arranger. I do use my T3 (sequencer) for solo gigs, but with the band(s) everything is unassisted, and live.
Glad you liked to pics...more to follow as they come available, including a "Fat Bastard" pic which I'll post tonight.

It's a great and very diversified program you showed us. Also the Fat Bastard was very funny. You guys make a great show!!!
I think the audiences will have much more to see in your show than in Cher's...
