Title: Where did the BBs practice/rehearse for gigs?
Post by: CenturyDeprived on November 19, 2012, 02:24:11 PM
Did the band ever have a dedicated practice space where they would rehearse before gigs, and write/jam out songs and ideas?
I imagine the Wilsons' garage was literally the band's rehearsal space in the early days, but over the years, did they ever have a proper rehearsal space where bands practice?

I have a band myself, so it seems that bands (even bigger ones) tend to have a homebase for their equipment and such...

Would love to know where they rehearsed for the last tour… or was it more a series of business meetings at which it was agreed what'd be played, who'd sing which lead etc and the Netherlands rehearsals were left to the band under the control of musical directors Totten & Foskett/Sahanaja/Mertens?

On the Rehearsal clip on youtube Al mentions Center Stage Burbank.  A search shows it as Center Staging.  ::)
