Band of Gold Performs "I'll Be Around"

This performance is from the now closed Dudeks in Cohoes, NY in April of 1994. It was the last night for our bass player Steve Gillhooley. Since I was going to be taking over bass duties with my left hand on the keyboard, this was going to be my last night using the strap on keyboard. I kind of got out of hand this night. Look at my bandmates expressions during my solo. My strap on keyboard is a Yamaha KX 5.

@Austinagent1 It is actually a bar called "Dudeks" that closed a long time ago. The place is now Awards By Walsh. So many of the places that we have played over the years have closed down. Thankfully there are still a few places left for us to play.

Hey World,

Thank you for the kind words. I had a lot of fun doing that. Since our bass player left, I have to do bass and keyboards at the same time, so I can't use the strap on keyboard for now. Thanks again.

Hey, thanks for the kind words. I might be able to dig up another performance of this song that my band did. I was influenced by Dawayne Bailey, guitar player for Chicago from 1986 - 1994 in doing this performance.

The guitarist needs to learn the Octaves in the intro.
