BEATLES

LIVERPOOL LETTER -

I am from Liverpool originally and have heard many 'tributes' to The Beatles but I have never enjoyed any of them (including the excellent Bootleg Beatles) as much as Rockola. The whole set was amazing, not just the Beatles music but the complete music selection. I was supposed to be mingling and networking but I really just stood, sat, danced and listened for most of the evening. Everyone I spoke to thought that the band was wonderful, something that both the British and American guests agreed upon, old and young alike.

If I lived in California I would follow Rockola's performances closely and I would highly recommend them to anyone lucky enough to have the opportunity to go and see them.

If you ever decide to play The Cavern Club or at any of the Beatles events in Liverpool then please let me know, I'll be the first to sign up for tickets.

Well done!

GM FANMAIL - Here's an email from a GM fan (more to come):

To the band members:

I was at the Mirage for the event GM put on (Peak Performers 4/21/08) and just had to tell you how blown away I was by your show. I'm a big "horn" fan and was VERY impressed by the quality of sound, the jubilance and electricity in which the band displayed. It was the best "Set List" I have ever heard from a band that plays other people's songs. I mean c'mon "Everyday People!!!!" It was fantastic.

The intimacy of the final few songs is what made me a fan for life!!! It was the humility of the band and the down-to-earth manner in which you come across to the common man combined, with the talent, humor and passion that will serve you well wherever and whenever you play in the future. Seven Bridges Road is an all-time favorite of mine and you did the Eagles proud!!!

Keep on Rockin'!!!

Mike Allen

Pepper live at Spreckels show. Watch here for tons of coverage, but not for a couple of days. We'll be sleeping at least that long! Thank you to everyone from the performers to the fans tall of our friends in the media and our immediate families who helped us bring one of the greatest albums ever made to life. I want to do it again like next week. Any takers?

IACP REVOLUTION!!!!--Hey IACP, you ROCKED! $100,000 was raised, $50 of which was donated by yours truly. (hey, I couldn't just let it hang at $99,950) IACP stands for International Association of Collaborative Professionals. I could very easily do a poor job of explaining to you exactly what it is that they do, so I insist that you link to their website right now--> CLICK HERE. I said it at the show, and I'll say it again here, this was THE BEST audience we've had this year. Some pictures are to the left, and here are some video snippettes™:

<<YOU'VE REALLY GOT ME x3>> Fun with a slide projector and a quick thinking videographer.

<<LAND OF 100,000 DANCES>> Wait for the boa...

<<SING AND SWEEP>> Nominated Best Singing Audience 2006

RATED ARRRRRGH --The Children's Hospital Miracle Makers Gala, was outrageously cool and we have the Pirate pictures to prove it. This crowd is like a 'greatest hits' audience for us, with more familiar faces per-capita than any other on our annual fundraising social events calandar. But wait, there's more... Main Man David Gillig has officially become our favorite, non-famous, sit-in guitarist having nailed "Brown Sugar" in the original Keith Richards' open 'G' tuning! Special thanks, as always, to Pacific Events for the inspiration (see last years gushy comments, and add extra kudos to Joanne Mera for the 'Pirate' theme)and co-ordination (that means you Kristen), and John Volt for sound production. (was that a sentence?) Hey, you won't see me boring you with names here often, but a quick glance at the photos below should tell you that this event was, as it always is, a cut above. Just keeping it real cuz... uh... that's what I do.(Insert clever pirate pun here)
