Mick Fleetwood and Friends Celebrate the Music of Peter Green in AMI’s Latest Giveaway
Mick Fleetwood and Friends Celebrate the Music of Peter Green in AMI’s Latest Giveaway 1080 1080 GAD Vending

11 Jun 2021

AMI’s Grand prize is a Mick Fleetwood and Friends deluxe edition box set.

AMI announced their most recent giveaway, in recognition of the 2020 live music event honoring guitarist Peter Green. One lucky fan will win the Mick Fleetwood and Friends Celebrate the Music of Peter Green and the Early Years of Fleetwood Mac super deluxe edition box set. The set comes with remastered audio recordings from the February 2020 concert on 4 LPs and 2 CDs. The set also includes a Blu-ray disc and 44-page book pack of images from the show. The contest is open June 11, 2021 through June 23, 2021. Music fans can enter the contest using the AMI Music app, available on iOS and Android. Contest entry is also available on any participating AMI jukebox.

Peter Green got his start in music at the age of 15, playing bass professionally in a number of cover bands in and around London. It was only after seeing how Eric Clapton expertly played his Les Paul, that he was persuaded to switch from bass to guitar. Green then got the chance of a lifetime when asked to take over lead guitar in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers when Clapton left the band. A year later, Green had assembled a new band with former Bluesbreakers Mick Fleetwood and Jeremy Spencer. Fleetwood Mac was quickly signed to their first record deal and soon after achieved their first UK #1 with their song “Albatross.”

Green officially left the band in 1970 but continued on with solo and side projects. Over the years that followed, he had multiple uncredited appearances on various Fleetwood Mac recordings, including their experimental double album, Tusk. When Mick Fleetwood began to discuss the idea of a tribute to Green and the early years of their band, he found no shortage of rock guitarists who cited Green as a major influence. Some of the big names from the project include David Gilmour, Christine McVie, Steven Tyler, Bill Wyman, Noel Gallagher, and Kirk Hammett. Said Fleetwood: “The concert is a celebration of those early blues days where we all began and it’s important to recognize the profound impact Peter and the early Fleetwood Mac had on the world of music. Peter was my greatest mentor and it gives me such joy to pay tribute to his incredible talent.”

AMI is proud to offer fans of Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, and Fleetwood Mac a chance at winning this prize. Everyone is encouraged to enter the contest using the AMI Music app or by asking GAD where the closest AMI jukebox venue is in Nebraska, Kansas City and Iowa.

– Prize Includes Live at the Hollywood Palladium Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set!

AMI announced their newest contest, celebrating guitar legend Keith Richards. One lucky entrant will win the limited release Live at the Hollywood Palladium from Keith Richards and the X-Pensive Winos. The deluxe box set includes remastered versions of the December 15, 1988 concert on both CD and 2x 180g LPs plus a bonus 10” vinyl of 3 previously unreleased tracks.

The contest is open November 13, 2020 through December 2, 2020. Music fans can enter the contest using the AMI Music app, available on iOS and Android.

Best known as co-founder and guitarist for the groundbreaking rock and roll band, The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards has also enjoyed musical success on his own. His first foray as a solo artist came in 1988, with the critically-acclaimed Talk is Cheap. A cross-country U.S. tour accompanied the album, with a stop on December 15 at the famed Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. No stranger to the venue, Richards joked to the crowd about previously being thrown off that very stage, referring to a 1972 incident in which he tried to perform with his idol, Chuck Berry. Backing Richards on this tour were a group of musicians and friends, dubbed The X-Pensive Winos. Members included Waddy Wachtel, Ivan Neville, Bobby Keys, Sarah Dash, Charley Drayton, and Steve Jordan.

The live album, which featured several Rolling Stones songs was originally released in December, 1991 at the same time the Stones were staging their Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle comeback tour. This reissue offers an all-inclusive look back and a chance to relive the night through the music, photos, concert footage, and promotional items.

Like all music fans, AMI is eager for the return of live music, from stadiums to dive bars. AMI is proud to offer a chance at winning this exclusive box set, full of live music, memories, and memorabilia. For a limited time, AMI jukeboxes will be also be featuring a Keith Richards playlist that highlights his biggest hits with and without The Rolling Stones. All are encouraged to check out the playlist and enter the contest using the AMI Music app or by visiting a nearby AMI jukebox venue.

Starting Up Your AMI Jukebox Post-Pandemic
Starting Up Your AMI Jukebox Post-Pandemic 750 504 GAD Vending

POST-PANDEMIC RECOMMENDATIONS FROM AMI:

AMI is working hard to make sure both operators and venues have the information and tools they need to re-open successfully. When preparing your post-pandemic re-opening checklist, here’s a few items we’d highly recommend adding to your list of to-do’s.

1. Implement Restart Procedures 24 Hours In Advance

To ensure your AMI jukebox is fully operational for a re-opening event, it’s important to implement jukebox restart procedures at least 24 hours in advance of customer engagement. For procedure details, click here.

2. Share Cleaning Recommendations with Staff

How to Clean an AMI Touchscreen: AMI touchscreens do not include a film as is used in resistive and surface capacitive touch technologies.  The touch surface is glass and any disinfectant or cleaner recommended for glass surfaces may be used to clean and disinfect the touchscreen. 70% rubbing alcohol (ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol) can be used as a disinfectant. Always spray the disinfectant/cleaner on the cloth or towel and not directly on the touchscreen.  Glass cleaner sprayed directly on the screen could possibly leak inside and cause damage.

How to Clean an AMI Currency Panel: The door panel is made of plastic. We recommend cleaning with a mild cleaner and disinfecting with rubbing alcohol using a soft cloth to avoid scratching the surface.

3. Connect Your AMI Jukebox to Outdoor Speakers

Per CDC recommendations, many bars and restaurants are being cleared to re-open, but with outdoor seating only. It’s simple to connect our jukeboxes to outdoor speakers or sound systems and extend the jukebox experience to all customers. Please refer to the “Sound System Setup” section of your jukebox manual for guidance. Plus, with the AMI Music app, patrons can easily select music right from their seat and without touching the jukebox. Outdoor banner artwork is available for download.

4. Use Ad Manager to Promote Critical Safety Guidelines

Inform patrons of safety precautions your venues are taking to help demonstrate their compliance with CDC guidelines for COVID-19. Templates are available in the “Public Health” category via amientertainment.net and your AMI Co-Pilot app, and cover safety, health, cleanliness, and more.

5. Make Use of Promotional Material: Promote Mobile

Our mobile jukebox companion app, AMI Music, already allows patrons to use the jukebox without touching it, and helps them maintain a six-foot distance. Our jukebox promo loop features videos that promote the app’s touchless component. Posters and banners promoting the app are available for download to be printed at a vendor of your choice. Plus, mobile app promo cards give patrons free credits, encouraging new users to go mobile when playing the jukebox.

6. Set Your Jukebox to Mobile Only

Looking for a solution to limit surface touching but still allow patrons play the jukebox? Simply disconnect the touchscreen controller cable (serial or USB) as well as the bill acceptor(s). The jukebox will continue to play music, including selections made by patrons via the AMI Music mobile app, as well as background music stations. We recommend attaching one of these flyers (Option 1 and Option 2) to your jukebox UI screen to inform patrons how to make music selections by using the AMI Music app.

AMI’s music promotions will continue to run on second screens where applicable (i.e. music video jukeboxes). Please note that if you do have music video enabled on any of your jukeboxes, disconnecting the video wire connection to the UI screen can lead to disruption of video to external music video displays.

7. Send a Re-Opening Notification to Jukebox Users

Using your AMI Co-Pilot app, you or your venue’s location manager can send a customizable “we’re re-opened for business” message directly to the smartphones of every AMI Music app user that has purchased music on its jukebox since Nov. 2019! Check out the video tutorial, plus step-by-step instructions are also available in this online FAQ.

Consider upgrading your existing AMI jukeboxes to Win10. Microsoft is phasing out support of the XP operating system and highly recommends this upgrade.

AMI now offers an SSD/Win10 Upgrade Kit for refreshing your jukebox. This new operating system has faster processing speeds, more reliable performance, and will allow AMI to add new and more dynamic features in the future. Plus, the new hard drive comes enabled with Music Video On-Demand (MVOD)! This means that your jukebox will now be capable of video playback for AMI’s full library of over 25,000 music video titles. Simply connect your jukebox to a TV using an HDMI cable that connects to the on board HDMI port of the motherboard.
