It may have been easier to list those countries that you have not (yet) gigged ;)

I have only played Pacific Islands Etc. Noumea, Fiji, New Zealand, Samoa, (one night stands whilst playing on Cruise Ships) and of course good old OZ..

Cheers

Hermosillo, Mexico. That was in 1972 or 73 with the San Diego State Jazz band. Good times!

I actually enjoyed listing it out! I had some spare time on my hands.

I love playing down under! I've done the Big Day Out a few times. We (The Bands) call it Big Day Off. Because it's usually 3 days between the dates on the tour so we all encamp into various hotels around the cities and get smashed. (Anyone not familiar with this, Big Day out is an enormous traveling Rock festival)
