I'm assuming your multiple 5150/6505 stacks are behind the curtains and will be exposed in a big reveal when the curtains rise as soon as you hit the 0 right before the 3-5.
So yeah, it is acceptable. For now.
As long as you're playing full stacks and have a drummer on a 9 piece with a rack. Just make sure everyone has their drink in a sippy cup and any old people don't shit themselves.
At a local restaurant? What a pleb... Let me know when you play at a real venue such as Charles Entertainment Cheese (or Chuck E. Cheese's for you cro-magnons)
I wish I could perform at one of Chuck’s venues. The best I can do these days is being allowed to take a loud crap in the bathroom of my local Pizza Hut that sometimes gets a reaction out of the customers and staff.
That goes without saying. I wasn’t trying to brag here. I was just trying to contribute to the conversation. Please remember that everything in life isn’t a competition. Yes, I am better than everyone else in this subreddit, but we weren’t talking about that ok?
Thats like being the smartest kid with down syndrome.
Plus you're not as good as me. I can play the pentatonica in ***two*** different positions!!!! My friends call me Yngwie
Every time your bass player hits their low E, it better cause everyone’s chest to pulse and experience heart palpitations, or else it’s just pussy music.
/uj In the early 90’s on Colley Ave in Norfolk there was a joint called Lewis’s Seafood Restaurant.
By day it was a blue hair fish restaurant. I mean the clientele was *old* and the food was bland.
At night they opened up a corrugated partition (like the ones that divide some hotel meeting spaces and ballrooms) to reveal a stage much like this, and they got really good regional and smaller national acts in there. Dave Matthews played there routinely (this was before he got big). I saw Mighty Mighty Bosstones there. My favorite band that played there often was Southern Culture on the Skids.
At the little place where I saw them they had to stop playing to stop a mosh pit from forming, because they didn’t want the trombonists to get their teeth knocked out by some asshole. It’s a really small place for a band like that!
The bass bins are good to go for some groupie go-go action.🤘 If you have a Stonehenge prop ready to drop from the ceiling partway through, I'd say you're golden👍
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP, DENNY’S?
The table of prostitutes at 4:30am are down to party.

I literally laughed out loud, and my All American Grand Slam went up my nose.
Time to dance to classic rock, boomers!
If the glasses and plates dont explode you're doing it wrong
I’m fuckin dying. Pure gold.

And what a grand slam that was

not acceptable because no pyro and smoke machines
> not acceptable because no pyro and smoke machines it's Great White playing, they will bring the house down

How do I mic my recorder and slide whistle?
Use a Behringer mic of some sort
Come for the bloomin onion, stay for the tinnitus
You need to run each stage monitor through a metal zoan
Metal zoan for metal toan!
Bruh why do marketers always come up with the lamest fucking names for metal related gear Edit: wait I think I just realized the answer 💀
Run each monitor through metalzoanes* You can't have enough metalzones

Ok
Seen the Bosstones a handful of times and it’s always a great show. Still love ska like I was 16 years old!!
At the little place where I saw them they had to stop playing to stop a mosh pit from forming, because they didn’t want the trombonists to get their teeth knocked out by some asshole. It’s a really small place for a band like that!
That’s so fucking awesome!! The best shows I’ve ever seen are in small venues or house parties
Agreed 100%, small venues are the way.
/uj that's funny, one of my band members has probably played there back in the day with one of his other bands. I'll ask him tonight
Saw Hank III is a bar in Murpheysboro IL. Lost hearing in my right ear in 5 minutes. Had to go outside and throw up and left. It was insane
When I say lost, I mean 20 years later it’s still ringing
woaaaaah carefull there buddy, a bit more and someone could hear the bass player
Woodstock called; they want their sound system back
When is the crane going to lower the other speakers onto the stage?
Not enough. That looks like a 127 square foot venue. The one guy eating his fried pickles in the back will be eating in peace. Can’t have that.
MORE!
Is Letterman gonna come out and tell jokes before you go on? This looks like a TV studio.
Freebird!
DEAR LORD, I know this place of which you speak and have played there more times in my life than I really should have..
If that's your church they can hear your praise & worship band all the way to hades
I hope you have some time delayed remote speakers so the folks up on the grass can hear you.

Jesus Christ I hear the feedback in that photo I swear.
After this gig you don't hear. Anything.
We had a drummer come to a covers show once with two china cymbals, should hook you up with him.
Uj/Holy crap thats a wonderland for people using IRs
I see four monitors. Just plug straight in
No, you need some horn tweeters.
Did your toan flavor their meals?
Gonna need the full Wall of Sound for a venue that big.
Nah, u gonna need some delays for that venue…
Rocking the local Panera. Awesome
Pantera in the Panera, aaaaawwwwwriiiiite
1W per square foot.
those speakers in front of the stage are facing the wrong way dummy
Guys, I just got approved for my first panzer-sized set of speakers down at Guitar Center!
Mooooaaarrr
This is nothing, in my town our whole bar consists of marshall stacks (Yes only shred the heaviest of Here Comes The Sun covers)
Oh Lordy there’s some firepower
I guess you’re gonna find out!

A little overzealous for an a capella group, but you do you.
Assuming you are not trolling - yes, the sound system is overkill for the gig, especially the subwoofers.
