Summertime outdoor gigs in Texas are no joke. I'm a Texas guy and I've played plenty of brutal 3+hr outdoor gigs in the dead of summer. Your amp gets so hot you could fry bacon on it. Stay hydrated, y'all!
You must come to Sevilla in Spain, yesterday we had 110 ºF, and humidity...jejejeje. Literally, after lucnh nobody is on the streets until 9 or 10 pm when a lot of people goes to have a cold beer . Welcome to hell...!! :D
Man you should come play in Italy during the summer is so wet that it feel like being inside of a pool I had to adjust the thruss rod during the break lol
@@tomandtheoutlaws I saw his video! I was thinking more along the lines of the costs and things for a supporting act and all that entails. Just another perspective :)
Watching you guys figure out the song from 6:00 to 9:00 was my favorite part. Just how you all throw out ideas and try stuff until it just clicks. That was really awesome to watch.
You guys are such a great live band! Survivors is the heaviest thing you guys have done yet! Please, when you record these songs in the studio, please record it all live off the floor, your sound is like no other! You guys sound so tight! Keep rockin'! Sending love from New Zealand!
I have been a fan for a number of years now, and I can say that this rehearsal segment at the start of the video is the thing I've appreciated and enjoyed most, ever. It's great to see how a band of pro's build an idea and how they sound at their rawest. Fantastic. Wish you made more of those.
It was awesome to see you guys live in Austin! I'm drenched in sweat at the front between the wedges with the flamingo shirt. I bailed immediately after your set, it was too hot even at 8PM.
Loved this video! The "YESSSSSS"! moments in rehearsals are priceless when the band does something inspirational and you get that emotional excitement that lifts you up. Great Band Guys!
First, the band is fantabulous!! I hope to see you live someday. Second, playing in New Mexico in the summer is no joke. We demanded some kind of shade and eventually bought a gig tent. Keep the flame alive!
the more videos of band practices that I see across the internet, the more I realize that every band practice is the same. and it's amazing. Just thinking about hendrix's practices or the dead, or nirvana, or kendrick lamar, or celine dion or anyone. someones crackin jokes or getting pumped about a new idea. I love music
TWO things.... 1. Seeing you guys experimenting and working things out is gold to me and seeing how you all play off each other. 2. Noah’s voice is awesome
Hi Rhett, you guys are sounding great. I always get a new appreciation of all you go through to do a show and develop new material when you do this type of show...keep rockin’ bros!
It hit 104.5 degrees here in the UK and the country imploded. We really are not good at hot weather but in our defence that is the first time we have ever been over 102 so we have no precedent for this. Meanwhile, the band is sounding awesome. That opening to Hell or High Water gives me chills.
Thanks for sharing! The scenes in the basement where you were arranging new songs was very interesting, and it was great to see the final product too. Keep up the good work.
Thanks I've missed these! Your words hit home at the end about counting yourself lucky to have those opportunities. I agree... definitely a blessing we're thankful for ourselves.
Spent many years playing outdoor gigs in Houston and Dallas, brutally hot in the sumer. Have had to stop because of heat exhaustion a couple of times. Played on the pier at Galveston Island, so humid that water was dripping off our instruments, had pedals stop working from the moisture! Good times!
I'm curious what you do with your guitars between soundcheck and performance? I'm guessing it would be a tuning nightmare to take them into the AC once they've acclimated to the heat, only to bring them back out again.
Favorite moment when y’all were working on that jam it started to really come together around 9 minutes an y’all were getting into it!! So much badassnes we in one room. Love the energy
A story from touring... Mineral Point, WI, August 1983. I am walking up the outside stone stairs to the second story club where I am about to play a solo guitar concert, and a snake crawled right between my feet. So far, so good for a prelude. Next, I play the gig, and I am so tired from traveling in 100 degree heat for days in a Ford Pinto... that I fell asleep "while playing"... woke up suddenly and kept on playing from whatever chord I was on when I woke up. People clapped loudly, so it must have been OK. No idea what the starting piece was though.
You got super lucky, cause it's going to be 108 today : ) That said, please come back and do more shows in Texas....wasnt able to make this one but hoping to catch another run through of you guys. Play Grenada Theatre. Awesome music, vocals and appreciate the teachings of Rhett and vlogs.
Traveling in Texas is such great fun. Just about everyone love’s good music. In the future very soon I think outdoor music is gonna get done at nite, indoors only, or with major changes to safeguard everyone from the heat index. Decent amount of heat with decent amount of humidity can kill anyone or anything. Stay safe.
That guy has a great voice, btw. I need to check out more of his stuff. Happy to see a fellow heavy brother having success in the music biz. Good for him. That voice is undeniable.
I've done a few festivals where the stage is facing west. Not only heat but sunlight directly into your eyes, sunglasses and sunscreen for everyone! Lol. You need to save those southern state gigs for spring and fall, go north for the summers.
Just did back to back, outdoor, midday gigs here in Arizona last weekend...ooof. Had 2 different backups for everything in case things melted down. Thankfully everything held up except my scorched skin.
Can't wait for the video series on you building this awesome studio space! It's gonna be a rad studio! you guys sound so dope even with out any treatment down there!
Your “what is the {insert amp/guitar/pedal} sound” series is really good also but these backstage journals and the insight into life as a touring musician is IMO the best part of your channel. Keep it up you guys are sounding really good. Need to setup more live basement shows with Deacon Knight now that the space can be used
First time I've commented here. You guys are going in the right direction. Sounding better than ever. Starting to build a real energy I haven't seen before. Stay on it. Continue to reach outside the box.
We experience that heat every weekend in Florida. Load ins are brutal, we bring our stage truss an lights, PA, no roadies...sometimes we wonder, sometimes hate it. Then we play, an love it. After the show an 5 pounds of sweat loss we are thrilled....then realize oh crap we have to tear down...ah the life.
Glad to see the backstage journal is back! Lots of time rehearsing, traveling, dealing with vehicles etc but man, when the first chord hits on the first live show at 19:22 I could feel the energy! And I love the crunch in that amp.
I play outdoor local gigs in Tampa,FL...which includes unloading, setting up the pa & then playing 4 sets....then break down and reload everything 🥵🥵🥵 its definitely a labor of love... not for the money
Thank you for the video. It was great footage and up close and personal. It helped reaffirm my choice to not perform live anymore and limit my musical interactions to the studio as I had decided. All of it brings back memories of discomfort and misery I don't want to deal with anymore.
Literally just moved from Austin to the east coast. I know exactly what you went through in that humidity. I grew up down there. Sad to have missed the shows!
As a gigging musician, you eventually learn the importance of the Lasko Utility fan. It has become my extension cord for my board and a life saver on almost every gig. Easy to hide it by a monitor.
111 in OKC today. Absolutely BRUTAL. A w/Night Ranger show in Louisville! Sweet! I was jammin' to 'Sing Me Away' while mowing the yard early this morning. Just had in on loop - about 12 times. Man, I wish I lived closer.

@@sinfirma23 Bring it on! Is it even rock n roll if you aren't drenched in sweat after the gig?
Man you should come play in Italy during the summer is so wet that it feel like being inside of a pool I had to adjust the thruss rod during the break lol
Noah’s voice is even better than last time I heard him - his tone is killer.
What is the name of this band?
Noah Guthrie and Good Trouble.
I get a raspy, better range… Dylan type of vibe. It works.
They should have their band name prominently displayed on all media. Why don’t they?
Yes that's a dream gig right there !
Hey Rhett, in the future could we get a video featuring touring costs and how a show like this is funded/budgeted for? Thanks!
X2
Up
Please
Adam Neely has recently done a video on touring costs and is really interesting and terrifying.
@@tomandtheoutlaws I saw his video! I was thinking more along the lines of the costs and things for a supporting act and all that entails. Just another perspective :)
These vlogs are the reason I started watching your channel. So glad to see them back!
They are very very good! We do a similar thing on our channel if you’d like to check it out!
Ditto
Yup. Same here
Same!
Man, Noah writes some great songs. That arrangement you all worked out on “Survivor” really hits.
Great show you guys put on.
Noah has such an awesome voice. You guys are a great band.
Thanks Sean!
Love the backstage journal series so much. Rhett and Noah compliment each other perfectly.
We do a similar thing on our channel if you’d like to check it out!
The rehearsal footage is just so fun! Thanks for keeping those long "figuring it out" sections, in there!
These are the videos we've been waiting for, Backstage Journal vlogs are some of the best content on TH-cam. Cheers Rhett, looking forward to more!
I think it's awesome. Love the practices.
We do a series called Road Diary, gigging around southern Missouri! Check it out!
True
Watching you guys figure out the song from 6:00 to 9:00 was my favorite part. Just how you all throw out ideas and try stuff until it just clicks. That was really awesome to watch.
THE GUITAR, VOCALS, AND BAND SOUNDS GREAT.
You guys are such a great live band! Survivors is the heaviest thing you guys have done yet! Please, when you record these songs in the studio, please record it all live off the floor, your sound is like no other! You guys sound so tight! Keep rockin'! Sending love from New Zealand!
couldnt agree more great sound overall if there was a keyboard in there band to that would be epic too add a new layer of potential
Great hearing you guys playing together and HEATING it up there in Texas! 🌄🌅🤘🎸😎🎵🎶

I love Noah's voice too... add great quality to the band... you are all awesome
It was awesome to see you guys live in Austin! I'm drenched in sweat at the front between the wedges with the flamingo shirt. I bailed immediately after your set, it was too hot even at 8PM.
Thanks for coming Cody!
Of all the great content I've watched on your channel, the first 12 minutes is my favorite video so far! Thanks for letting us see that come together.
So good to see you back out there!
That new (first track) you were arranging turned out stellar 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ahhh, finally i heard again the rhett shull immortal riff 1:46
That riff in the survivor song kind of reminds me of the riff in Bad Company’s “feel like making love.”
Love being on stage with you ...even if just getting the vibe of it all through your video
Last year you were in my top 10 fav TH-cam guitarist.
This year you are,by far my favourite.
Loved this video! The "YESSSSSS"! moments in rehearsals are priceless when the band does something inspirational and you get that emotional excitement that lifts you up. Great Band Guys!
First, the band is fantabulous!! I hope to see you live someday. Second, playing in New Mexico in the summer is no joke. We demanded some kind of shade and eventually bought a gig tent. Keep the flame alive!
Really cool watching you build Survivors like that!
Oh dear, It is a brutal time to be in Texas. Be safe and don't let this heat kill any of your equipment!
Welcome to my home, South Padre Island and the RGV where its hot, humid, and hell for germanium fuzzes🤣🤘🏼
the more videos of band practices that I see across the internet, the more I realize that every band practice is the same. and it's amazing. Just thinking about hendrix's practices or the dead, or nirvana, or kendrick lamar, or celine dion or anyone.

I love music

I was at y’all’s Round Rock show and yall killed it!! Your rig sounded HUGE out in the crowd! So cool to see y’all live! 🤘🏼
sounding great i appreciate your videos thanks for posting
Great to see you guys together and playing again! (Also love the blues face on the Survivor solo)
Our yes indeed it is Rhett. Welcome to Texas!! This summer is especially brutal
Hi Rhett, you guys are sounding great. I always get a new appreciation of all you go through to do a show and develop new material when you do this type of show...keep rockin’ bros!
I'm always impressed at how good the audio sounds in your videos like this.
Agreed totally. Would love to know how he does it! I think he just has a splitter on his In Ear Monitor mix.
@@somebodysdog9235 He has done a video on it, Can't remember what it is call but like you said he just has a split from the in ear mix.
Bands sounds great. Can't wait to hear more.
Noah has one soulful, powerful voice. Wow.
It hit 104.5 degrees here in the UK and the country imploded. We really are not good at hot weather but in our defence that is the first time we have ever been over 102 so we have no precedent for this. Meanwhile, the band is sounding awesome. That opening to Hell or High Water gives me chills.
Great real life lesson as always!
Thanks for sharing! The scenes in the basement where you were arranging new songs was very interesting, and it was great to see the final product too. Keep up the good work.
You guys writing is sparking my creativity! Sounding great. Can't wait to hear the completed tunes.
WOW studio is looking very polished.
....but sounded really good. Who was the FOH engineer?
It was cool seeing y'all enjoy the South Texas weather & culture!
Thanks I've missed these! Your words hit home at the end about counting yourself lucky to have those opportunities. I agree... definitely a blessing we're thankful for ourselves.
Spent many years playing outdoor gigs in Houston and Dallas, brutally hot in the sumer. Have had to stop because of heat exhaustion a couple of times. Played on the pier at Galveston Island, so humid that water was dripping off our instruments, had pedals stop working from the moisture! Good times!
I knew his voice sounded familiar...that sexy and I know it cover! Glad he's still rockin'
Great job to everyone
Sorry, I missed you, but glad that Round Rock got a chance to hear you guys!!! Texas has been hotter than normal, this year.
These backstage journals are my absolute favorite videos. So glad to have them back.
I'm curious what you do with your guitars between soundcheck and performance? I'm guessing it would be a tuning nightmare to take them into the AC once they've acclimated to the heat, only to bring them back out again.
Nice to see. I’m touring in Europe and it’s great to see what’s so nice about touring with your band and what comes with it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's cool to see what rehearsal is like for you guys. It makes me miss playing with my old band.
Favorite moment when y’all were working on that jam it started to really come together around 9 minutes an y’all were getting into it!! So much badassnes we in one room. Love the energy

Good seeing you in action. Noah sounds amazing
Love this! great to see you working it out and make the song better! Love the dynamics!
You guys were KILLIN' it!!
Both new songs are great but especially the second one! That arrangement is straight fire!
You got super lucky, cause it's going to be 108 today : ) That said, please come back and do more shows in Texas....wasnt able to make this one but hoping to catch another run through of you guys. Play Grenada Theatre. Awesome music, vocals and appreciate the teachings of Rhett and vlogs.
Noah's music is really starting to grow on me...sounds damn good!
Brings back memories of being on the road...
This video helps the spark in my heart smolder a little hotter and brighter
Traveling in Texas is such great fun. Just about everyone love’s good music. In the future very soon I think outdoor music is gonna get done at nite, indoors only, or with major changes to safeguard everyone from the heat index.

Rhett, your touring/gig vlogs are the best. Keep ‘em coming! 🇨🇦
I SEE U RHETT
Your skills are growing exponentially... the solo on the SURVIVOR joint?
NINJA LEVEL, my bro
I see u
I've done a few festivals where the stage is facing west. Not only heat but sunlight directly into your eyes, sunglasses and sunscreen for everyone! Lol. You need to save those southern state gigs for spring and fall, go north for the summers.

Your so blessed with talent and also due to your very hard work! I love to listen to you play! Man you can slide!
If you need a van, consider American Van Rental. They are located in major cities near the airport and have a large selection and inventory.
Nice to see you back on the road as well!
Can't wait for the video series on you building this awesome studio space! It's gonna be a rad studio! you guys sound so dope even with out any treatment down there!
Thanks for taking us on your journey. I'm so pumped...I wanna be doing the same
111*F today, 90 miles north of Dallas in Oklahoma where I live. You got this dude! Press on. Good luck.
Your “what is the {insert amp/guitar/pedal} sound” series is really good also but these backstage journals and the insight into life as a touring musician is IMO the best part of your channel. Keep it up you guys are sounding really good. Need to setup more live basement shows with Deacon Knight now that the space can be used
We just played an outdoor gig and it was 111 in DFW….😰
8:20 Hell I got chills, love it when the band comes in tight.
First time I've commented here. You guys are going in the right direction. Sounding better than ever. Starting to build a real energy I haven't seen before. Stay on it. Continue to reach outside the box.
Seeing you guys hit that chorus in Survivor together for the first time... incredible! Great video, and love to see you guys on the road!!!
You guys sound great and Rhett your tone is stellar as usual. Rock on!
Y’all are gonna be 20 minutes from me on the Springfield MO date. You guys sound great!!
Rhett, best logo ever. Thanks for sharing your journey. God bless you.
We experience that heat every weekend in Florida. Load ins are brutal, we bring our stage truss an lights, PA, no roadies...sometimes we wonder, sometimes hate it. Then we play, an love it. After the show an 5 pounds of sweat loss we are thrilled....then realize oh crap we have to tear down...ah the life.
Fun stuff!
Also, it’s sometimes said “a band is only as good as their drummer”. They have a great drummer! 👍
Totally bummed to have missed you cats here in the Hot Texas sun….thanks for sharing!
Great playing, Rhett; great band.
Thanks.
Hearing your uncertainty about clearly killer arrangements is inspiring
Your videos made me discover Noah and I thank you for it. What a voice!!!! I'm sending a big hello from Ottawa, Ontario.
just cant get enough of "feel it now". such a great tune
Glad to see the backstage journal is back! Lots of time rehearsing, traveling, dealing with vehicles etc but man, when the first chord hits on the first live show at 19:22 I could feel the energy! And I love the crunch in that amp.
Great video - fun and instructive to watch another band's rehearsal process.
I love this kind of content! Rarely have I seen it! Great insight into the dynamics of a band and songwriting
Noah has a great voice. Springsteen -esque. Everyone playing great too! Rhett has the tonessss
I play outdoor local gigs in Tampa,FL...which includes unloading, setting up the pa & then playing 4 sets....then break down and reload everything 🥵🥵🥵 its definitely a labor of love... not for the money
and of course dealing with the rain.
Thank you for the video. It was great footage and up close and personal. It helped reaffirm my choice to not perform live anymore and limit my musical interactions to the studio as I had decided. All of it brings back memories of discomfort and misery I don't want to deal with anymore.
oh? a full-length 30 min episode of my favorite show? for free? it's not even my birthday. glad to see you guys out and about again.
