Sandy, sorry I couldnt make it bro, it just wasnt in the cards. super super cool gig though! I grew up watching the cars on MTV. even Grot tried to pursuade me to get there. just going thru a busy time right now. glad that blue pilot worked out! i remember u saying it was a home run right when u got it

It's OK. We're all super busy, so I can relate. we just ended up having to give up our gig at the Bandshell in my hometown which sucks, because it's a great paying one. Turns out our lead singer is going to be on a shoot in France! Oy. As for the Pilot, it's probably the best bass I ever had to be coerced into buying.

that is also cool you all live close to one another between NJ and NY.
I can imagine many Guilds swapping hands and homes over the years.

Believe or not, Eric and I haven't exchanged a single Guild (yet)!

Wonderful photos and summary. What an amazing night that must have been. You must have been wired. I’m pretty shocked being a pro that Elliot didn’t play through, but glad you guys were able to recover. Just another story to tell.

I was kinda surprised to Mike, as it really wasn't that big a deal. We could have just done his solo after another verse, but Elliot is a bit of a perfectionist, as are the guys in Panorama. That's why I feel good that we were very well prepared for the most part. Another shameless plug, somebody just posted this video of "Bye Bye Love" recently, and I thought it was the best song of the night. You can evven hear my bass pretty well if you listen through the right speakers!

That's pretty awesome!

Thanks Effin! The video is a bit frenetic, but the performance was pretty much spot on.
