1
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:30.000
Hi, you live, then to censure wow for you yellow.

2
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.640
This is the pipeline here on the Adventures pipeline W

3
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:36.719
four C Y Radio, and I'm.

4
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.719
Here with this is Randy from Red.

5
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.240
And let's hope it's not a code red because it

6
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:42.920
just turned code yellow.

7
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.679
Code yellows red at red.

8
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.000
And it always happens during the reviews, you get evacuator.

9
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.600
So yesterday I started, I was about to start a review.

10
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.560
They were like, it's code yellow, and I went orange red,

11
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.880
All right, you're out of here. Code yellow means maybe

12
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.439
means caution, tip oranges, start packing up, red, run for

13
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.719
your life. And it is Florida, so that could happen

14
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:14.879
in like thirty seconds, you know. So how's it feel

15
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:16.480
to be a welcome to Rockville?

16
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.400
This is our second time and we I mean we

17
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.120
love it. Florida is awesome and it's hot and it's

18
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.239
sweaty and it's a rock show and we love it.

19
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:29.680
Yeah. I always give such kudos to bands performing in

20
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.840
this crap because it's gotta be brutal. I mean, it's

21
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.439
brutal enough being out there. It's another thing throwing every

22
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.400
bit of energy you have out on stage.

23
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.239
Yeah, you don't you honestly don't think about it when

24
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.280
you're on stage. When you get off stage, you're like,

25
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.480
oh damn, that was hot.

26
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.079
I always talk about that, even as far as I

27
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.319
go with stuff, is like you get you don't think

28
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.560
about while the mic is on, while your instruments are

29
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.200
on and you're in the zone, and you don't give

30
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.040
yourself permission the in your head to even feel it

31
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.840
correct until you're done, correct and then you die correct, right,

32
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.759
you know, correct. But it's still gotta be like a

33
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.680
blast to play here at the Daytona International Speedway and

34
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.240
like tomorrow, So yes, nice, right you should. I think

35
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.719
you guys should. We were just doing golf cart races

36
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:26.560
out there in the speedway. I think you guys should

37
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.000
do that. Get two artists carts and you know I

38
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.240
would love to, right, that would be so fun. I

39
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.319
have a trivia question for you, by the way, shoot,

40
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.800
see the colors on all the seats? Yes, who knows

41
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:40.840
what that's for?

42
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.120
That is so during the telecast it looks like there's

43
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:44.960
people in the stands.

44
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.199
Yes, And I'll even go step funny.

45
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.599
You asked that because I was informing our lead singer

46
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.800
here earlier today Hey, look at the stands. That's when

47
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.680
they when they film the Daytona five hundred to make

48
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:56.240
it look full.

49
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.400
Yeah, it works because it looks full right now there's

50
00:02:58.400 --> 00:02:58.919
nobody there.

51
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.680
It's also for the because I was there reviewing a

52
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:07.159
NASCAR driver yesterday and basically he told me, like, think

53
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.240
of it this way a basketball game. There's like twenty

54
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.400
thousand people max in the stands. If you had twenty

55
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.560
thousand people here, it would look empty because it's like

56
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:20.840
one hundred thousand people. And it also motivates the drivers,

57
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.039
like any sport they see empty stands. It's not the

58
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.759
same as envisioning it full energy. Totally same for you

59
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.759
as a band, right you know, like you play the

60
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.280
same whether it's one or a million, but there's still

61
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:41.919
a different feeling to it. Right for a million show,

62
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.120
that would be wild. You know. It's funny. I interviewed

63
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.960
GBH once in this little tiki bar in Stuart, Florida,

64
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.400
down south, and I'm like, so, what's it feel like

65
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.879
to be playing in a little tiki bar? And Colin goes, well,

66
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.879
one day you're playing to a million people Mesopotamia and

67
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.639
then you're at some little dive tiki bar.

68
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.759
And exactly right. So that's that's rock and roll, right.

69
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.120
Which do you prefer? Sometimes?

70
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.680
Man, it's it's it's it's a combination of Uh, it's

71
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.399
it just depends. Like the smaller shows are they're more intimate,

72
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.680
fans are closer, and it can be just as sweaty.

73
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.480
But the bigger shows there you don't feel as connected

74
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.720
to the audience, but the audiences are bigger. So when

75
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.279
you walk out and you see a sea of people,

76
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.839
you know, it's a huge rush. But I don't know,

77
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.879
I almost prefer the smaller shows than anything.

78
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.439
I hear you too, and like then, like you're saying

79
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.199
you can connect with the crowd, I think when you

80
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:44.959
have those massive like audiences, you not only don't connect,

81
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.920
but you kind of just see a blur.

82
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:47.759
Yeah.

83
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:49.399
Yeah, you kind of like looking over and it's like

84
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:50.879
a sea of it's like a sea of people. You

85
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.120
just looking over everybody's head and it's a it's in

86
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.959
the festivals like this, it's fans of all different kinds

87
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:57.800
of bands, not just your fans. But when you're doing

88
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.519
a headlining show and it's all they're all there to

89
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.720
see you, it's a whole different experience.

90
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.319
No, doubt, no doubt. And so you've done a bunch

91
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.120
of Danny Wimmer festivals. And I asked a question of

92
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.000
all artists, how is Danny Wimmer treat artists?

93
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.279
Dude, Danny's great man.

94
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.600
When we we like to compare, like what happens in

95
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.319
Europe to America, and in Europe the festivals are top notch, it's.

96
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.160
Just second to none.

97
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.319
And when it comes to festivals in America, Danny is

98
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.800
He's the guy. It's crazy. When we were a baby band,

99
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.879
we we we showcased for Danny in New York City

100
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.199
at s I R when he was still working Yeah,

101
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.759
when he was still working for for a label, and

102
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.720
he told us we weren't ready yet. Wow, and here

103
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:48.240
we are, Yeah, Danny, Danny was him. It was just

104
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.199
him and us at a at a place at New

105
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.839
York City. And then and then just a few later

106
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:54.759
years later he started Danny Wimber Presents.

107
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.360
And here we are, Here we all are.

108
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.959
So here's what I think you need to do. You

109
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:03.279
need to whenever you have free time, go find Danny

110
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.399
and ask him if you're ready yet.

111
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.040
Hey Danny, Hey Danny, you remember that one time you

112
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.920
told us we weren't ready, you were you weren't ready

113
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.639
yet either, but here you are right right. Yeah, Danny's

114
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.120
awesome and uh, I mean, like I said, he does

115
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.000
these these festivals and everybody knows the Danny wormerfests.

116
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.639
They're so well run and and.

117
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.879
Just organized, and that they take great care of the

118
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.680
artists and and the accommodations and stuff for fans and

119
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:30.279
artists both.

120
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:31.600
It's it's it's top notch.

121
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.120
And see, I love hearing that. I've asked that question

122
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.160
since twenty eleven and I've yet to have an artists

123
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:47.360
say something bad. No, say right, yeah exactly. Everybody likes

124
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.759
its glowing things and that makes me so happy because

125
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.800
artists already have a hard job, especially at festival, it

126
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:58.800
can be such a ship show right out. So when

127
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.439
you could be stressed free, that's better for us to

128
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.600
the audience because then you just get up on stage

129
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.480
and nothing in your head except having the fun.

130
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.079
Man needs to be stress free when they play the show,

131
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.639
because we know that they stressed out, it's not going

132
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.000
to be the same performance. So no doubt, there's so

133
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.759
much planning that goes into it, and a lot of

134
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.160
people you don't realize how much planning goes into it,

135
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.079
and it's I'm sure it's an astronomical because there they

136
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.360
do festivals all all summer, most mostly through the year,

137
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:25.959
and we've done all of them except one.

138
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:27.439
One has eluded us.

139
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.199
Which one which incarceration? Oh you go that one.

140
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.240
We gotta gotta play incarceration.

141
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:36.199
I'm telling you, Danny, they need to play incarceration. Okay,

142
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:40.199
if we add more time, I would even go in

143
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.000
deeper of why you need to be at incarceration.

144
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.959
Because redemption and tattoos.

145
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:52.600
Yeah, well check this out. My daughter will always ask me, Dad,

146
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.319
so you're excited for his festival. I'm like, well, I

147
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:57.160
love doing it, but I wouldn't say when you do

148
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.360
it every weekend, you're excited every weekend for first time

149
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.000
I did ink I called from the prison yard. I'm like,

150
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.959
I'm in the prison yard now, I'm excited.

151
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:08.079
It's pretty dope.

152
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.319
When you're standing on stage and you're looking over and

153
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.879
Shaw Shanks are right there right exactly.

154
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.199
It's a great background. Yeah, well, you guys gotta go.

155
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.439
I gotta go, and we might go code red, so

156
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.399
