I'm fairly gutted. I play in a covers band and we're booked to play at a beer festival where there are no TVs and very sketchy phone signal. There's no way I'll avoid the score so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed, do my job and hope for the best.
It would be great to burst into YNWA at about 9.30 when we win. My Manc supporting drummer would walk out!
I played in a band throughout the 80's and we were booked to play a function outside Liverpool the night we won in Rome in 84.
Back then they didn't have the massive screens like you see now, there was just one small 25' telly behind the bar which was directly opposite the stage.
I was trying to concentrate on chord changes and focusing on the bands performance when someone shouted "It's gone to penalties".
I waved my arms in the air and stopped the gig and told everyone over the mic that we have abandoned the gig until the shoot out was over.
Low and behold up stepped Barney to seal the victory !!
Party on dude !! The band kicked it up a gear and we went on to play all night.
What a night.. drunken stupidness on stage but we really didn't give a flying f**k
ps - All drummers are Mad !!!
