Mixxed Company & John Petrucci - Comfortably Numb

This is a video that I took at a gig where John Petrucci was playing with his wife Rena's band, Mixxed Company. I had a great time and this gig, and they're a great band. My friend Rich, my girlfriend Nikki, our friend John, and I got to hang out with Rena and JP, and JP even hung out and had a beer with us, and signed the backplates of my BFR's for me. He's a great guy. Very down to Earth. The same goes for Rena. They're two of the nicest most humble people you'd ever meet.

Any other guitarist would be nervous playing with Petrucci. Rena just lets it rip 'cause she's the wife and knows every imperfection and mistake, not to mention his faults and foibles like all wives do. What a great couple and great people from all I can tell. Much happiness and long success in marriage and family, music and life.

@EC66OK: I hear ya. Rena's band rocks, and it was awesome seeing John get up there and play on stage with her as well!

That night died like 50 people just because John changed the adjustements in his amp during all the song, so he could minimize the deaths in his solo.

@mirru89: Haha.

I thought Rena played bass (?)

[petruccirocks02]

@trakir: She does on a song or two. Usually only when they bring one guitar rig. At this show, there was Rena's Roadking II and a 4x12 and John's Mark IV and a 4x12, so they both played guitar.

in the first solo i was thinking "gezz at anytime john petrucci will humiliate her"

And then...
