Maybe we should regard ourselves as lucky that late last August Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos didn't suddenly get an itch to play drums in the Rolling Stones.Ībove I said I loved both the DC and Nashville shows. Other than, that is, for the totally unnecessary annoyance of an egotistical billionaire putting himself on those stages to live out his Guitar Hero personal fantasies. I was there for 1 and 4 on your Ghost Hounds list. * with a negligible-to-indiscernable "fan base." * that didn't even exist (talking here the current, 2.0 version) a year before their 1st opening gig for the Stones * and that - this to me is the saddest and most telling - really doesn't like gigging in any situation where another band, a "name" band, isn't providing the audience. 1) - Washington DC 2) - Charlotte 3) - Pittsburgh 4) - Nashville 5) - Los Angeles 6) - Tampa 7) - Austin 8) - Hollywood, Florida 9) - Amsterdam And this is a band: * that has had no hit albums, no hit songs, not even a popular song.

At least the first of the two Jergels shows was (a) free, and (b) if you went you got to meet Pittsburgh Steelers, including then-QB Ben Roethlisberger! (For you Europeans, he's a huuuge deal in Pittsburgh.) Gho$t Hound$ owner/guitarist Thomas Tull also being part-owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Two of the four shows were in a 500-600 capacity club in the Pittsburgh area, Jergels Rhythm Grill. I can find just 4 total gigs, all small ones, in which they had to attract their own crowds - and in one of those four it's a little unclear to me who headlined.
