Michael Bolton and the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra - Civic Theatre, 19.06.2018

in ,

Some context: Several years ago we took a long roadtrip to the Far North in a car that only had a cassette player, a tape of Maori classics, and Michael Bolton's greatest hits. We heard "I Said I Loved You But I Lied" so many times through those cheap treble-heavy speakers that it left a permanent mark, and it's continued to find its way into our music rotations since, for better or worse. 

Surprise tickets C/o RGK. Vocal fireworks C/o The Man Himself.

Devastatingly accurate question from a family member: "Was the audience full of perspiring, heavily-perfumed perimenopausal women?"

God damn it. Those jeans. That Deep V.

The old M-Audio interface (not recommended), and the Death by Audio Robot 8-bit pedal (cool concept, but limited in its practicality); 2012.

My only picture of my Dunedin effects board. From memory (left to right): Boss tremolo, EHX Big Muff, Vox Satchurator distortion, Guyatone overdrive.
