    Also, here's a link from the Epiphone Musical Instruments news page with a brief report from the gig in Nashville :cool:



    You can now also find a couple of pix from the gig right here on the site :cool:

  • Howdy fellow Glenn fans! Here is my experience in Nashville. Arrived at Wildhorse @ 4:45pm, was able to walk in the door and stand at the back of the showroom. Could see up to the stage while Allstars practiced "It's Only Rock n' Roll" and "Stay With Me", a few breaks here and there, as they were fine tuning the songs. It was cool to see this! Just after 6:00, management called for all meet and greet ticket holders( i was part of ) to follow them upstairs. My heart was pounding!( finally get to meet my bass hero ) Upon entering the reception area there were allstars and campers sitting, standing about chatting. When Glenn walked around the corner, my attention focused on him. Seeing and hearing one, that you've looked up to for so long, up close is a mind blower! When it came my time to say hello, I think i pulled a "Chris Farley" and blurted that I'd "been a long-time fan, Deep Purple, Trapeze, Hughes/Thrall". Glenn said "Allright". After a few more words I got his autograph and picture. Then I stood back and watched as he greeted others. He's the real deal! Went back downstairs after things wrapped up, thinking that was awesome. First up were the campers. Glenns' group was named "Deep Voltage". Their performance of "American Woman" was a real standout, great job! In the Allstar portion, some of the songs were "Superstition, Smoke On The Water, Stay With Me (Faces) and Hot Legs. The latter two were sung by Mark Hudson, who had a surprising rock voice. Chris Slade was an all out basher on drums, cool. Fine performances by the rest of the Allstars. Glenns' vocals were absolutely stunning.

    What a gift he has! Fans front of stage totally into it. Great Show!:clapper:

  • Another cool clip...and I think it is really cool that the RRFC seems to be getting a lot of media attention now. I know it has been a running event for the past few years bui the current media blitz is great....

    And there is Glenn with his new "lady" ; a pretty guitar it is! :thumbup:

    I am glad to hear that all concerned, both onstage and off, are having a great time! I wish I could have made the show in NY!

    Turn it up!

    Yours In The Funk

    At the Las Vegas gig taking place this weekend at The Joint in the Hard Rock, they will be playing a 2 hour set of their own hits, following their students performances, earlier that same evening.

  • Here's an article from today's Orlando Sentinel heavily featuring Glenn and his band from the gig last Friday night,
    Five Blokes and a Birdie, at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida.

  • As Glenn eluded to yesterday in his twitter message...it was hot as hell here in Phoenix. Thankfully, no rattlesnakes, scorpions, or Gila monsters made an appearance. It was even hotter on stage, when Glenn's band went on. They rocked out to excellent versions of Superstition and Summertime Blues. Glenn sang all lead vocals and played his new guitar, which by the way, sounds excellent.

    To close out the RRFC part of the evening, the all-stars hit the stage. Due to travel arrangements, Glenn had to open the finale and not close as usual, with a rousing version of SOTW.

    Watching the campers get up there and give it their all was worth the price of admission. They all were quite good actually.

    Will post some photos later today. Having issues downloading images from my memory card lately.

    Only a few more of these RRFC shows, then it's time for part two of the FUNK tour :thumbup:

    Thanks again Glenn for an awesome evening :bow:

  • I forgot to mention that Glenn's band also did Cream's "White Room".

    Here are a few photos. If I had known I would end up having a pass and backstage access, I would have taken my good camera. I don't get into any venues carrying that camera.
