Tribal Tech 1995 - Boat Gig

[@mcarlucci55904]

Lyrics - (This is an inside joke for all those working musicians who have been through "it.") Now Listen!! I’ve been playin’ my drums for 25 years ‘like to bang ‘em real hard, and then drink a few beers I got the chops to rock you, but I can’t run and hide ‘cause I’m playin’ Barry Manilow, and havin’ no fun Chorus: I’m on my boat gig Response - Boat gig! I’m on my boat gig, YEAH! Response - Cruise ship! Makin’ da bucks Wearin’ my tux for you! Now I’m big-'n'-mean, and I’m muscle bound Got the fattest set of drums in the whole damn town I can slap my snare drum, knock yer head right off But I’m usin’ my brushes, ‘cause I gotta play soft! Chorus: I’m on my boat gig Response - Boat gig! I’m on my boat gig, YEAH! Response - Cruise ship! Makin’ da bucks Wearin’ my tux for you! Well, the boat leaves the dock at about a quarter till nine Filled with yuppies dressed proper and fine. A wedding reception, tonight’s affair. Who got married? …I DON’T CARE, NO NO! Well, ya know I gotta feed da kids, gotta clothe da wife Nothin’ but heartbreak, trouble and strife! So, until I make it, and become a big star… Spoken in Elvis-ese - "hup, wanna put a little money in my tippin’ jaaar?!" Chorus: I’m on my boat gig Response - Boat gig! I’m on my boat gig, YEAH! Response - Love boat! Makin’ da bucks Wearin’ my tux for you!

Just LOVE it.. The energy and the incredible musicians and the lyrics.. 😎

[@Jonathan-L]

Kirk Covington is the man (and the vocalist).

[@CaptainCheez1]

I was a Captain on some of Kirk's boat gigs. Funny.

[@hectormoy4978]

"'cause I'm playing Barry Manillow and having no fun" Laughed so hard first time I heard it.

[@dbsendyd]

tight playing wow

[@clappedoutmotor]

Never got a gig on a ship but reminds me of the days I played the towns restaurants... :p

[@quattrocorde73]

i love this song....and the Covington energy!!!

[@ProfileP246]

wow not only is Covinton mad on the tubs i didn't know he could sing like this!

[@Fatgeologist]

Check out "Devil Boy" live.

[@DDandrums]

@@Fatgeologist thanks very much for the tip 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JohnPrepuce]

Ironically, this is the best song on the album.

[@AmagrasMUSIC]

He plays and sings like if he were 2... but there's only one elvis in the building at the time!

[@phenbuz]

Its great and genuine blues. Its wonderful

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

I discovered this band way too late. They are so fucking good.

[@frankfertier34]

Great great group: Willis is a driving force and a great harmonist, Covington a powerhouse and Henderson a true genius. difficult for Kinsey to over shine. TT is a very important band, but the Henderson solo albums are stellar.

[@PamelaDrake215]

Killer blues rock leads here!!

[@ibbumpn]

Apparently Scott Henderson can play the blues

[@tpzid]

Scott Henderson can play anything he wants to. Like Greg Koch

[@Jonathan-L]

Yes, Scott can play some really good guitar ... he's a mix of Jeff Beck, Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan ... and then takes it to a whole new level.

[@6strings5904]

He got crazy from Chick!

[@RonaldoMiragaya]

Bom pacas!!!!!!!

[@boyan.guitar]

Thank you!

[@Jedizen07]

AHAHAHAHA. . . these guys are freaking geniuses of jazz. Love them!

[@johnlane2010]

Fusion SuperGroup

[@bobayersquebec]

sound s like pride n joy stevie ray vaughan

[@boyan.guitar]

can somebody please "transcribe" what Kirk is saying at 4:27 into the chorus... I'd love to know... It's different from the "tipping jar" line on the recording... I absolutely love this song... THANKS!

[@Fatgeologist]

My favourite singing drummer bar none. That is close to the truth if you remove the "singing" from that sentence also.

[@Dutchman536]

Front runners for Moe's electric space ranch music , these guys practice Stevie Ray Vaugn ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@midihc]

FUCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!

[@netoweiss]

WOW!!!

[@radeum1010]

I wonder what the camera guy didn't like about the bass player...?

[@eduardo98ful]

Its a joint in the Scott guitar?

[@alainmetalbible5150]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@smacurface]

Man ! ! ! ! ! !

[@RenegadeOfFunk66]

And Scott Henderson guitar..

[@malformedopinion]

Who said drummers can't sing? lol Sing Vs Write

[@DeadEyeDave]

Mickey Dolenz was the best vocalist in The Monkees. Karen Carpenter played drums while she sang with the voice of an angel.

[@morganolsen4883]

The lyrics are almost impossible to find! if someone has it, Please share 😁😁😁

[@mcarlucci55904]

+Morgan Olsen Hi...I've posted the lyrics...

[@morganolsen4883]

Perfect, thanks a lot!!!😊😊😊

[@GregF71]

@TheMrFunktastic2 no "illicit" and no "face first" then...weird!!! to each his own i guess. Peace out.

[@СергейПанасенко-т6м]

мой сын учится у Кирка

[@jakemf1]

Lots of SRV he stole almost every line from Stevie!

[@VilleKuitunen6]

And Stevie stole his lines from everyone else. There's blues for you.

[@scotty3034]

I'm using my brushes because I gotta play soft........... So fucking true.

[@herbie747]

Needs to be quiet on the boat.
