First gig with my band Powerlord for our Adieu Tour 2024.
And my first gig with the brand new GP5.
Two sets of 90 min each, and not a single hassle with GP5 or my Win10 laptop hidden in the side fill, at all.
In fact, I didn’t touch my laptop as soon as sound check was finished. All is controlled from my keyboards, all sounds by VST plug-ins hosted in GP, and using TouchOSC on an Android tablet as information display.
Well, I’m in my mid 50ies … playing with this band for 20 years now.
In fact, I think we have reached all and played everything we could do on our semi-pro level.
And it’s getting hard to keep that level. Costs for PA and lighting exploding since Covid. And then concert promoters getting a breakdown when you send a quote for a show, telling you what they would have to pay for security … and for fire guard and insurance fees
So we decied to go for a final seasion, before it starts to get worse gradually, year by year.
