My band finally felt ready to play live and had our first gig two nights ago. The other five people had been in previous bands, but this was my first actual performing band. I've gone through more than 6 boards getting a setup that allows me to make the sounds I need and that is perfectly easy to use while playing.
We do pop/rock from 70s-now, and we try to take advantage of the keys aspect with songs like Hungry Like the Wolf, Superstition, Call Me, Shut Up and Dance, and Magic Man. This is the only picture of us I've seen from any of the attendees, and I have no idea what we're all staring at..

And yes, it is a Nerd Lead. It's always fun to see if people at the gig notice stuff like that

Congrats. If you're doing club gigs, keep it light if you imbibe. Everybody and their brother will buy you drinks. :angel:

Very clean and very nice set up, I like it a lot.... And Nord Lead 2 (or 2X... ), great raw analog sound!!! I think I will always keep mine... I don't see any mixer, how do you mix your two keyboards in the main PA?

We've got a sound board that in our practice space is all set up and I try to keep patch levels consistent. But out live, we have a sound guy run the board. I have a little Behringer monitor on my stand for me, and it's got level control for all inputs.
