This last year has been quite a year. There were numerous shows, and the introduction of the Anniversary Drum was a lot of fun for me. I am very much looking forward to the next run of the Anniversary Drum this spring. Part of that staying in touch is attending shows, and there were two with my pal Jarred Pope that were absolutely spectacular. It was also incredible to see Rod Morganstein again at one. It has been years since I have seen him.
Jarred was using his 1.5 Steel–4 x 15 for the Tom Keifer 2023 Tour. That has been his long time main for the band live, and in the studio. He has also used his 1.5 Steel–5.5 x 14 for studio work with Tom, and live as well. But almost exclusively, he has used the 1.5 Steel–4 x 15 live for all of the tours with the Tom Keifer Band. They have always been one of my favorite bands, and every single person in that band is Musically spectacular. It was a great tour with Tom Keifer, Winger & John Corabi…
Elizabeth and I were able to see Brother Cane live in Chicago, and they completely and absolutely stole the show. Music is not a competition, but this band is so great, they lit the night up. It was inevitable. Jarred had along his 1.5 Steel–5.5 x 14 which is a drum that he uses with this band, and Damon Johnson & The Get Ready…Another one of my favorites. Anything Damon Johnson puts together Musically, lights up the venue. There is just something about the way he goes about his Music, and the bands he puts together, that is almost unequaled from my extensive experience in live production. The bands latest two song release Blinded By The Sun/Are You In There Anymore is rockin from A-Z.
Rod Morgenstein is a beloved legend in this industry, and it was so nice to see him again. We had the greatest talk…It has been a number of years since I have seen him. He has along his 1.5 Steel–5.5 x 14 as a back-up, and I was thrilled about the fact he would refer back to that drum. Winger is so great live, it is one of those bands you wish everyone could see. Unreal. UNREAL!
Thank You Jarred for everything my friend, and Thank You Rod. This show will always remain unforgettable……
