Lighthouse Gig 13/11/04

Lighthouse Gig, Port Adelaide, November 13 2004

A week later we played at the Ales and Sails Hotel, by the Lighthouse at Port Adelaide. The pub is better known as The Lighthouse.

Once again, played in converted dining room, this time on the floor. The pub didn’t have meals on, so we set up a couple hours before playing and had a sound check about a half hour before starting at 9.00 pm

There were about 40 people at the start of the show, of which we knew about half. Not too many more came in (I think the peak numbers was 60 at most if you include the front bar crew in the attached room), but there were still 40 people there four and a half hours later when we stopped.

We played five sets of slightly more rocky music than at Walaroo. The barstaff liked us and we’re now booked to play there on new years eve.

Steve was more comfortable on his leads, Sox appeared to be enjoying himself more (he had been a bit ill the week before). The tempos were much more regular than they had been, and the sound check made quite a difference. Only problem I thought we had was a consistent one, starts of the songs were really sloppy.

We were all much more pleased with this show, no major disasters. Each gig is a noticeable improvement to the last, the next should be a ripper.
