Webisode #1 January 2011
The day was starting off earlier than on a typical show day, because of the performance on Jay Leno.
It's exciting, I mean, I think there has been enough work put in all this from all of us over the last few years in anticipation for this.
You got to the studio there and then basically did the soundcheck, camera blocking, all that stuff.
And then it was just a matter of waiting around for hours till they actually shot the show.
2 o'clock. It's 1:15.
That's the entertainment industry, ripping away for the phone to ring…
…ripping away for the shoot to rip, ripping away to record a record yeah. That's it.
We have gathered to hear a rock band here tonight to perform their head song Isolation from their CD ABIII.
On January 11, they’ll release in their DVD called Live from Amsterdam. Please welcome Alter Bridge.
It was a milestone for me the first time we played Leno years ago.
And when I was younger I always used to watch those shows just for the musical guests.
In fact, I went tight timing, you know, was it 12/25, who is gonna be found. It's a really cool thing to get to be on those.
Then we got to the House of Blues, hours and hours later than we originally planned because we did the Leno show,
so our crew really had to scramble to get all our gear from point A to point B and get shacked in all that.
I don't know how many hours behind we were, but our crew was amazing.
They, you know, they burst their *** so we got it all done and got it all sound good.
We love playing here, you know. It's one of our favorite markets I think.
We're surprised, I mean, we're surprised by how well it's gone.
I'm generally not the guy that sits here and expecting a lot because it's such a hard business,
so it's always been a real pleasant surprise, no matter the people coming to the shows.
There are people who been there for us for years.
That means a ton to us. And then we’re seeing a lot of new faces as well who are discovering the band.
Los Angeles in general, anytime we perform here,
we knew there been certain people from the industry that we respected that gonna be in the audience and certainly asked to the wait of the day.
