I had a gig yesterday evening in "Laßnitzthal", one of these tiny villages around the area of Graz. It was one of these last minute engagements, again. While the material in theory should be more than suitable I was struggling a little bit with the unreliability and quirks of some of the components.

But the band was pretty nice, a dedicated 50 to 60ies combos, and they had much fun counting the dead tielines, where I have to say that I stopped after the sixth cable ... (damn how hard can it be to connect a keyboard?)

The PA was also a little bit strange, although voices and everything that benefits from a evenly distributed frequency response from 300Hz to 4kHz with little harmonic distorsion came through very clearly, you just can't create a bassdrum enriched with bass frequencies out of hell with double 12" cabinets, or not at least with a reasonable number of them. I took some photos, eventually because I was a little bit bored after soundcheck, hehe.
