OH SANS, THOSE ARE TOTALLY COOL.

YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a great time ... hope it goes as well tomorrow at our encore.

Great Pics Sans... !

Thanks.

Jeanette shot some video too ... unfortunately it is not IMO post-able quality.

We are researching acquiring her a better camera for that purpose.

You guys are awesome rock on! post video when you can!

You guys must use in-ear monitors? What system?

Have trailer will rock! Mobile ministry! Awesome George.

No ... our Mixer is Carvin's C2040

With four monitor outputs that feed ( Ch 1 ) two 400 watt Peavey wedges out front ( out of picture frame set up on tables I built to hold them and our twin 3-way mains ) Plus ( Ch 4 ) two Yamaha 200 watt wedges behind us and a fifth 200w no name wedge for our drummer on (Ch 3). The fourth monitor channel ( Ch 2 ) can function to run hot spots on anyone's vocals if needed.

We also have two 400 watt Peavey 2-way mains set as a center fill to cover where the 3-way towers don't overlap in the mid throw range.

My guitar is on a Line6 digital wireless, Jordan's guitar was on a Sensenheimer RF wireless that belongs to Eric ( (bassist ) and Jordan is on a Shure digital head worn mic wireless as well.

Have trailer will rock! Mobile ministry! Awesome George.

It's a great idea Jimmy but the flat bed utility trailer does not belong to us.
It was set up by the church to function as stage for the three day weekend (of which we played two).

Funny side story. We had Steven's riser resting on the trailer rail in front and on three 55 gallon steel drums in the back, and strapped down.

Still, Steve said he went for "quite the ride" when I got to jumping around on that trailer playing my guitar.

To his credit, he did not complain, but only mentioned it as being humorous after the show.

I didn't notice the monitors behind.
Wondered how the drum riser was balanced! I had some friends who played a beach parking lot gig the same way (the band manager's family had a trucking company, and set up on a 78" x 32 ft flat bed) - didn't leave any room in front of the drums, that's for sure!

We got lucky. Those 55gal drums were there as trash cans.

Just happened to be the right height ( within an acceptable variance )

It was one of those "hey, what if we" moments that did not end in disaster.

Sans,

Thanks for sharing the pics! Low light photography is a but more difficult. I also noticed camera shake in more than a few. A small tripod would do wonders. There are a good many cameras that have pretty fair performance for a couple of hundred bucks. But the photographer still will need a tripod for very low light conditions if you want pics that aren't too grainy.

But then again, spend the big bucks and you can get away with lower lighting.

My son spent about $1500 on his Canon, and it does very well in low light. But nice lenses were extra. Personally I can't think of any pick I would want to take that would make it worth that price.

Thanks Slacker.

My wife took the photos from the stands.

She want us to invest in a camcorder ... I have a really good tripod.

She just has not come to use it yet.

That's rad!
a trailer.... hmmmmm. dress it up like a float and that just might be something worth looking into

What did you use for power?
