My first gig had a lot of problems with ground loops (although i didnt know what they were at the time). I sang and played lead guitar but kept getting shocked on the mouth by the mic. It was a mess. Then on the trip home, all our equipment got rained on in the back of the truck, literally soaking the amps inside and out. I poured water out of the effects pedals... also, the bassist didn't show up. Memories are so funny!
What's it like for all of you veterans (like myself, 30 bands and counting!) to look back at all of the stupid things that happened? My band now has a kickin light show and is so slick and professional it still amazes me. well, anyway. gotta run.
