Wait a minute, is the NEX open to the general public for the day? If so, that’s way way better than Woodstock
afraid not…they separate the base to festival goers…id card carriers…the NEX is squarely in the id card zone…but maybe if we are carrying gear we can move from one zone to the other without being stopped or if the guy checking is someone I know…but no promises
Congrats! Any plans to play Danger Zone for the naval base?
I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of that but nope…but I’d love to do Great Balls of Fire
This is so cool @Tokyo_Rat!
What a great thing to do and to have the memory of later.
I’d love to come if I was over there.
I wish you were…I think its gonna be a great time
Man, what a great opportunity!
Soinds like it will be a blast. I will echo others: please regale us with details, photos and/or video so we can enjoy this experience as well!
Absolutely, its already paying dividends. Because we were hired for the festival, the same entertainment crew has suggested that we be hired for the New Sanno hotel which is the Armed Forces retreat in Tokyo, and for the Chiefs Club here at Yokosuka…looks like it is going to be a busy fall and hopefully holiday season. but first things first…I will definitely be posting up pics and vids…we are rounding out the set list now. We have a two hour show on sept 2nd about 24 songs and the dozen we’ll play for festival will come there
That’s awesome. The New Sanno is an institution. I keep meaning to dig up my DD214 and discharge papers to go get a membership.
Apparently the bar is frozen in time, with $1 budweiser. And their yearly BBQ is famous.
@howard i was only there once for our UMUC graduation, my wife loved it but kept comparing it to the Dragon Hill in Seoul and there is nothing that compares to the Dragon…the donuts alone are worth flying there for
Stuff like this and PX access are things I really miss about having a military ID card
New Sanno lets you get their membership with a DD214 though, just need to do it.
Set list is done…

Cool set list! Man, that’s gonna be some serious fun. Have a blast!
Great set, guess I am showing my age
And your taste.
I think its gonna be a great time…a lot of classics a few within the last 10 yrs or so…without keys you always get a little limited but I’m not complaining a bit
I don’t know most of these were picked by the 16yr old drummer except the Sultans tune that was picked by the guitar player…LOL
great set list Some real crowd-pleasers in there
And a bit of “bass-solo” in Brown Eyed Girl - hope you’re gonna have a blast
