Well I figured I needed to put up something here this week. I have gotten a few emails asking where I have been for the All Night Jam Session and well I have been filling in off the air for our Production Director. For those who don't know that is the person that puts the commercials together and other pieces that you hear on the air besides the music and DJ's.
I have been excited about working a normal week this week, but really what is normal for me anymore? I love coming in and being there during the day. The station has a fun vibe about it when the entire staff is there. Something I only see for a couple of hours during the week. The funny thing this week has been I get tired at like 9 p.m. which is great but I can't sleep that early so I end up being awake until 3 a.m. then it sucks since I have to be at the office at 8 a.m. This week has my body's sleep schedule all jacked up.
As much as I love being on the air I could certainly do this job on a regular basis. It's fun and challenging. Being on air is great too. I will be back on air on Tuesday night / Wednesday Morning when T.M. makes his return to the building.
It was cool being able to go see Tesla and throw back some cold ones without having to go on the air that night. Again never let down by that band. Simply an awesome show. Tesla have always put on a great concert and been one of my favorite acts to go see. Even though Jeff was under the weather Tuesday night he still sang his ass off with Frank Hannon and the crowd covering when needed.
They started the show with "Rock Bottom" and damn it blew me away! Played "Love Song" earlier in the set than I expected but when they pulled out "Lazy Days and Crazy Nights" I almost didn't believe my ears. Frank did a killer version of the Frampton classic "Do You Feel Like We Do". I do have to say I wish they could have played "Ball of Confusion" or "Higher" from Real to Reel but they didn't and I still walked out thinking that the show was f**king awesome. They even did the first verse to Foghat's "I Just Wanna Make Love to You". Now back on the first Tesla Tuesday when I was talking with Jeff I mentioned I loved the tune "Rock Me" from the first CD and he said they were going to play it during this tour. When I heard the opening lick on that tune that was it. I was like damn. Just shocked. And it of course kicked mucho ass.
Left the concert a happy dude with my Tesla shirt and FREE Real to Reel Disc 2.
If you missed them this time around you have to see them next time. By the way Dave Rude the newest member of the band is an amazing player.
