Henry and me moved the Marshalls to the other room because we wanted to turn them up and didn’t want to disrupt the jams 😄
Yeah I know, but I did chuckle the fact I started playing a non-jam riff, Rob and Jimi joined in, then I turned around to see everyone else had left, taking their gear with them :lol:
No stress, the idea of different rooms was to allow people to do their own things!
All good, I was amused not stressed :thumbup:
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Very short clip of the second room with the drum kit. Rob & Jimi while DM is still setting up.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Thanks Jay, I think I suffered the curse of forgotten lyrics the moment I realised you were there with a camera.

Pics and videos are great.
Wish I could have been there.

A couple things that stood out to me from the pics. DM, your beard is now as big as your stack!
BG, I this the first time any single person has turned up with more Marshall amps than I? Great to see them making a comeback! :D
I'm sure my record was three heads and 3 cabs, not counting gearfests at The Manor where all 4 or 5 heads would have been stashed in the gear room.

Oh to be fair, he only turned up with 2 marshalls, but yeah :D Time for a marshall-fest or rather a loud amp fest.

The Z6 is not too bad. I just put in Auto and took the photos. What surprises me is that it is coping very well with the huge volume differences it experiences while filming these dB freaks :wink:

I am putting four more vids up shortly...

Apparently the Marshalls were chased out of the second room by a Greenstone that drowned them out. I'm really disappointed I didn't get to hear it.

Next year I'm showing up with one of these, just to be heard.

First time this happened to me.... Uploading a video from four dudes playing something that is barely recognisable :wink: :wink: :wink:

Google/Youtube does it checks and says there is a copyright claim on the music I am uploading... Any monies will be going to the copyright holder. So there you go guys, you are contributing to Mark's pension :lol:

Sorry about my unsteady feet :oops:

I've got no sound from these vids. In fact, I have no sound from utoob. Yes, other sources work ok. Any suggestions from the cyber geek contingent?
