November 30 Re-Cap

I just uploaded the videos for the night, and i think i can say we stomped some balls.  I had a great time, perhaps because i aborted my attempt to try to do a high quality video with audience interviews and all... that's the kind of thing that surely would have thrown me into a classic Robertson "Failure" complex.  For the record I think I have mined some good material out of the failure concept... Hobbs once said that "Failure" and "Wishing machine" are the same song looking from opposite sides... i can see that.

I didn't put much effort into putting this show on, besides the 6 years of setting the standard, but for sure it was in the top percentile.  As a songwriter first, the elements in need were all in place... King hell drummer (Shawn Killaly),  siren singers (Sandra Bouza and Genny Trigo), ace bass and piano players (Christopher Johnson and Jason Jones), overzealous tambourine player (Billie Johnson) and a contingent of volunteer singers from the crowd when needed. There was heavy representation from the V5T postal code, and the word i got was "why didn't i come out to this sooner"... perfect.  No Super Steve however, he was flying to Las Vegas the next day... i doubt he made a 100 dollar bet for the Leafs to win the Stanley Cup, but you never know.  I know he was thinking of betting on L.A last year, but didn't, which turned out to be a good thing for him.

We took a request that i wasn't expecting to play, but hey ask and you shall recieve:



First time i played bass in a long time... I knew it was going well when i saw King Dinosaur by the side of the stage... that's where he goes when it is a real 5 alarm show... when the back bar just ain't cutting it.

Did i mention there was a mosh pit at then end of the night?  Not bad for a Super Robertson Supper Show... And then of course we had an english and spanish version of the song "Never wanted to be anyone":




I had the camera set up but it got knocked over on the opening curtain pull so i threw it back up randomly as i was in mid song or early song for that matter... it could have been better, but as we all know i could have been worse.

On Wednesday December 7th 2011, we have the Cam and Jesse Show... they have yet to email me with their plans, but i have yet to remind them to email me.  I wouldn't doubt if we saw Santa suits and blue humour.
