Two weeks later, we played our first concert and had 100 people there. It was pretty cool.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It was mind-blowing. It was a small place with 2,000 standing-up tickets. It's great to have your band back and working and playing again, people have been so generous.
First paying gig, I got 20 bucks. I played at some really weird venue. I don't remember the venue; I just remember it was the last stop on the A train. It was, like, the Far Rockaways, Queens, and it was an audience of, like, three people.
When we finally got to play that and we had a great show there, well I can tell it was pretty awesome. Y'know, we probably did bigger festivals since then; we probably headlined bigger festivals since then, but I will always remember that.
I did about a 100 concerts this year. All over the United States. We're cutting back next year to about 40. We generate money for an organization called Mercy Corps.
I've only been to one concert in my life.
Two packed houses. I guess the theater sat 2,700 people every night so it was an amazing experience.
I had my first concert in front of 80,000 people at the International Soca Monarch Finals.
That was our first major tour and we got a chance to play in front of like 5000 people every day so it was like a Rock and Roll boot camp for us really, we learned a lot and made a lot of good friends.
Our first gig was a battle of the bands. We did 45 minutes of comedy and never played a note - and we won!
The Majestic Theater in 1990. That was one of my first real shows where I had 300 to 400 people there.
