EscapeRocks Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 A large municipality hired us to play their huge annual 4th of July show. Due to the COVID thing they had to cancel. So.. they asked if we"d record our 1 hour show to be streamed as part for their 'extravaganza' Of course. It was a blast. 5 cameras ð It"s in post production now. I"ll have the details on where to log in to watch for anyone interested seeing this old dude do his thing. Cool thing is my many relatives who live all over the country will finally get to see us. Here"s a little picture of getting setup to jam. Oh. And it was GREAT to jam with my bro"s after 6 months from our last show. ð¤ð¼ That"s an led wall running our video show that goes along with our concerts.

EscapeRocks Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Thanks all. I was using my MODX6 and my brand new Roland A-88 MK2 controller. The new Roland is wonderful! I gigged with the FA-08 for a few years, and loved the keys. I like A-88 MK2 keys even better. Solid, smooth and fast. I'll do a separate review. One thing I will say, using the MODX in Host mode, it powered the A-88MK2 just fine.

StevieDeepD Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I can't wait to see/hear! I watch all of your posts (not a stalker). Whenever we do Journey I cover the keys AND the lead vocal. Been looking forward to hearing you and your band! - Steve Quote M-Audio Hammer 88, Yamaha MODX6, Yamaha ReFace CP, Korg D1 MacBook Air 13" M1 (2021) Logic Pro X 10.5, Mainstage, Roland Cloud (Ultimate), U-He DIVA, Arturia V-8 JammSammich, Peoria, Illinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyNQ Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Do you have a video? What genres were you doing? How are you enjoying the MODX? I'm going to have a stab at these on David's behalf: 1. Yes, filmed with five glorious cameras and available on the 4th of July for viewing at your streaming pleasure - details to come. 2. Journey covers. Don't put your house on it but I'd be looking for a rousing rendition of "Only the Young" for the encore. 3. https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/3026180/re-yamaha-modx#Post3026180 Regards, CowboyNQ Executive Assistant to EscapeRocks PS. Just having a bit of fun with you, Music Bird! I'm sure David will give you a far more up-to-date response to 3 in due course. After I get his dry cleaning.

LOL Thanks CowboyNQ Couple clarifications 1. It will actually be streamed on the evening of July 3rd 2. Unfortunately no "Only The Young" this show. It's only a 1 hour show so it was basically a Greatest Hits show of what Journey themselves call "The Dirty Dozen" 3. My thoughts on the MODX are still the same, it's great. Of course my overall rig has changed 85 times since that post. 4. We had a full show later that evening after the recording session. Long day but so good to be back on stage The evening setlist was : Separate Ways Never Walk Away Where Were You Just The Same Way Line of Fire Ask The Lonely (Guitar Solo) Stone In Love Girl Can"t Help It Feeling That Way Anytime I"ll Be Alright Still They Ride (Keys Solo) Who's Cryin Now Be Good To Yourself Anyway You Want It Intro/Escape Lights Stay Awhile Open Arms Foolin" Yourself intro - Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin (Drum Solo segue intoâ¦) Chain Reaction After The Fall Send Her My Love Faithfully Don't Stop Believing Oh Sherrie Wheel Intro Wheel In The Sky Encore: Only The Young Quote David Gig Rig:Depends on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Muscara Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 what Journey themselves call "The Dirty Dozen" I thought those were the guys that were in the band at one point in their history and will never be allowed back, now including Ross Valory and Steve Smith. (just kidding, I've heard you use that term before. I just found out about the latest drama the other day and decided to make a joke about it.) Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!
