Right before the world temporarily collapsed in 2020, SoundCheck Live hosted their last pre-pandemic show with none other than the great, dUg Pinnick as the guest curator.
Fast forward 4 years later and the Kings X bassist/singer was back with some special friends, curating another set full of rock classics. If you remember ALL the way back to the SoundCheck Live Relaunch last October, you’ll remember the guest curator being another talented Doug, Aldrich. At that show, dUg showed up unannounced and joined Doug on a Hendrix tune. Well this month, Doug repaid the favor and showed up to jam on, you guessed it, another Hendrix tune.
dUg is always a joyous addition to the SCL lineup and his set this month consisted of a bunch of great songs and artists that he grew up listening to. As dUg mentioned, a lot of his choices (Robin Trower, Deep Purple, and of course Hendrix) wrote the songs that he learned to play the bass to.
Also, making their SoundCheck Live debuts were Motor Sister singer, Pearl Adaywho joined dUg on Tom Petty’s “Refugee” as well as (Ringo Starr & David Lee Roth drummer), Gregg Bissonette, who jammed along with dUg and Doug on Hendrix’ “I Don’t Live Today“
The Dirty Diamond also made their return to the Lucky Strike stage and kicked off the evening’s festivities with a killer set of original tunes.
