Hey, lots of us forumites used to gig or still do -- for J&B it's "used to." Let's share some. Here's a couple of us in 1998...Janice on guitar and 'stache Bud on lefty bass. Some day I'll scan the old Tri-X negatives and have some shots of my early 70's band.
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.
I like to see other people's gig photos... but I don't have any for the same reason that I don't dance. I was always on stage, not in the audience taking pictures. No doubt there are plenty of such photos floating around in the collections of friends, but I wouldn't know who to ask.
Cool topic though.. .can't wait to see how many people respond with photos!
This is an interesting thread! I don't have pictures I can think of of me performing for the same reason Pat mentioned above. I'd love to see some nice pictures of fellow forum users performing though
Probably not much different in age from most folks on here, but I started playing for money at age 11. This photo is about four years later, from 1966. I'm playing in a rock band with my older brother (pictured). Even with a mic and monitors, we two trumpet players could not hear ourselves over the din coming from the rest of the band. Why my hearing is still OK, I'll never understand.

I’m about 5 years older than you and I worked with rock bands through the early sixties and my ears didn’t survive. I have tinnitus and am shot above 2K or so. But a great PhD audiologist turned my life around with some high end hearing aids including a program for mixing
Matt, you looked like you have aged...which is a good thing. Wouldn't want to look THAT young forever. lol. Looking good in both pics I've seen of you. Had it going on early my friend.
These are about 13 years old.

TEMPO TANTRUM: What a lead singer has when they can't stay in time.
Best I have is this. The old pic was taken in Aug 1987 in Bradford Ontario. The new one was from Nov 2015 here in Ohio at a reunion show for a band that I am no longer involved with.
And I was quite happy to see it go into the hands of someone who plays it. I am in the group that doesn't think instruments are museum pieces and are supposed to be played rather than viewed.
Wow! Talented guy! I really had no idea that you played other than guitar, so this surprises me. Very cool, of course.
Well, keep in mind I never said I play them WELL.....
It's mainly a thing of longevity. In mid-April it will be 63 years since I started music lessons. I started at 4 yrs 10 months of age. If you do something long enough you can get good at it. Music, cooking, welding, woodworking, plumbing, whatever..... if you do it and pay the dues that come with learning, you will get to a point where you are proficient.
