--> 00:22:47,082 Chicago. That's... Yeah. 603 00:22:47,797 --> 00:22:49,783 That's pretty big. I was like, 30000. 604 00:22:50,339 --> 00:22:50,736 Wow. 605 00:22:51,625 --> 00:22:53,372 Yeah that was the biggest crowd I ever 606 00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:56,231 played in front of it. Yeah. Once it's 607 00:22:56,231 --> 00:22:58,693 like surreal. I bet it is surreal. Yeah. 608 00:22:59,090 --> 00:23:00,043 I didn't think so. 609 00:23:01,014 --> 00:23:03,571 And, I do this up there. Let's right. 610 00:23:04,450 --> 00:23:05,408 Just close your eyes. 611 00:23:07,246 --> 00:23:09,895 I like little rooms. Yeah. I hear you. 612 00:23:10,134 --> 00:23:11,192 Build rooms. What 613 00:23:11,569 --> 00:23:12,845 I don't know about you, but I've always 614 00:23:12,845 --> 00:23:14,998 kinda felt, like small rooms are really the 615 00:23:14,998 --> 00:23:17,644 key to what blues feels comfortable in. But 616 00:23:17,644 --> 00:23:20,275 it really comes right down to. Yeah. I 617 00:23:20,275 --> 00:23:22,131 guess, yeah. Compared to 618 00:23:22,747 --> 00:23:25,060 guns and roses, it it makes more sense. 619 00:23:25,778 --> 00:23:27,708 More Right. Exactly. 620 00:23:28,266 --> 00:23:30,980 Because you got the intimate connection with with 621 00:23:30,980 --> 00:23:32,895 the crowd. I've always had a hard time 622 00:23:32,895 --> 00:23:34,970 when people are far away, you know, 623 00:23:35,623 --> 00:23:37,771 And there's that big gap between the stage 624 00:23:37,771 --> 00:23:39,920 and the audience. Yeah. I don't like the 625 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,307 stage being too high. Right. I want it 626 00:23:42,307 --> 00:23:45,506 low, you know, bag. And mean, the people 627 00:23:45,506 --> 00:23:47,258 there. I wanna... I like to see the 628 00:23:47,258 --> 00:23:50,285 people. Right. And there's something about the sound 629 00:23:50,285 --> 00:23:51,263 that you'd get 630 00:23:51,639 --> 00:23:53,471 in a small room. It's so different than 631 00:23:53,471 --> 00:23:55,099 big stages. I mean generally, 632 00:23:55,870 --> 00:23:57,697 you know, that's where you're gonna find your 633 00:23:57,697 --> 00:23:58,889 business. Go figure, 634 00:23:59,445 --> 00:24:00,422 yeah, music 635 00:24:01,049 --> 00:24:03,603 in the music business don't really matter. No. 636 00:24:04,162 --> 00:24:06,955 2 totally different animals right think. So the 637 00:24:06,955 --> 00:24:09,051 other thing I wanted to get into is 638 00:24:09,762 --> 00:24:12,146 my favorite album that you did, which is 639 00:24:12,146 --> 00:24:12,544 the 640 00:24:13,100 --> 00:24:16,041 heavy juice cell. Yeah. And that's an album 641 00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:17,630 Might just wore that thing out. 642 00:24:19,236 --> 00:24:21,543 Yeah. It's a great record I... It's... 643 00:24:23,055 --> 00:24:24,328 When That your first soul? 644 00:24:25,203 --> 00:24:25,521 Yes. 645 00:24:26,172 --> 00:24:26,330 Okay. 646 00:24:27,045 --> 00:24:28,076 When I did that, 647 00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:30,854 it was, like, okay. I could've have had 648 00:24:30,854 --> 00:24:32,680 different guests on it. I could've have, you 649 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:32,838 know, 650 00:24:33,809 --> 00:24:35,725 and Ron, he was in the band or... 651 00:24:36,443 --> 00:24:38,221 But when I thought about the music 652 00:24:39,078 --> 00:24:40,675 that I really wanted to do, 653 00:24:41,393 --> 00:24:43,204 I just said who's the... What's 654 00:24:44,118 --> 00:24:46,026 what's the best man to do this stuff 655 00:24:46,185 --> 00:24:46,685 And 656 00:24:47,616 --> 00:24:49,762 in my mind, it was the old original 657 00:24:49,762 --> 00:24:52,249 room guys. Right. And me being 658 00:24:52,638 --> 00:24:54,328 for the first time actually 659 00:24:55,336 --> 00:24:58,670 using them as my band. Right. Right. And 660 00:24:58,670 --> 00:24:59,805 that's why the album 661 00:25:00,274 --> 00:25:02,188 I I believe that's why it came out 662 00:25:02,188 --> 00:25:04,581 the way it did. Because yes. It's focused 663 00:25:04,581 --> 00:25:05,081 on 664 00:25:05,458 --> 00:25:08,648 1 thing and and everybody played their asses 665 00:25:08,648 --> 00:25:09,148 or 666 00:25:10,099 --> 00:25:12,740 it's a phenomenal record, now. And it's all 667 00:25:12,740 --> 00:25:14,500 instrumental. That's the other thing I forgot to 668 00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:16,419 mention is it's is a couple of that 669 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:18,019 I think that I did hide with it. 670 00:25:18,339 --> 00:25:18,660 I did, 671 00:25:19,794 --> 00:25:21,628 couple of things on them, baby.
