Theatre gig, years ago.... Original material. Quiet, attentive audience. During a solo, our frontman / acoustic guitarist decides to relax a bit and lean against the wall at the side of the stage. Only... it wasn't a wall: It was a curtain, masking a four-foot drop onto various bits of technical kit hidden in the inky blackness of the wings. He barely missed a strum, despite the bruising and the broken ribs.

While they were failing, they weren't really a blues outfit just prior to the B/N era. And they had some great tunes.

One more clip - you can kinda see me in this one :-D

Cheers, folks. The DVD came out today - there's a premiere event this Sunday, so I'll see it then...

Simple - it's all they know.

Mick's been relying on a stunt drummer more and more recently. I guess age gets to all of us...

Hmm.. I'm not sure it's a choice between a tour with this lineup, or a new CH album. I think it'll be interesting, if only to see Neil and Christine work together.

Mike Campbell isn’t a frontman.

The Mac story gets weirder. It could work, though...

Here's a crappy clip from a gig on Saturday night. I thought I'd go the roundwound route for a change. Large room, no PA support. 120 valve watts goes a long way. Listen to how the low E just stays solid and clear...

Another clip... this song is SO MUCH FUN to play.

Update to this - I've just done a couple of gigs in a more challenging environment with the WB-100, and it was as loud as hell. This echoes the experience of our very own Warwickhunt, who posted his experience in the WB-100 thread,.

Alex really needs to sort his hair out.

Maybe they're doing a cover of the Pink Panther theme?

Hey hey! First sneak peek of the DVD.. out April 13th :-)

I think Sandberg should put another filed zero fret behind the nut. Y'know, belt-and-braces. You can never have too many nuts on a neck, it seems.

Mrs. WoT plays it with a few bands...

Cheers, Mr. Hunt! Glad you enjoyed it :-)

I've just heard back from Leszek - if anyone has been in touch and hasn't had a reply, pop him another email. @warwickhunt has borrowed this one for couple of gigs. Once I wrestle it back off him, I'll be giving it another run out at a couple of gigs this weekend :-)

I've just picked up a TC BG250-208 to replace my recently deceased Promethean. It's very nice with all the right features, and perfect for what I use it for (acoustic - as in *acoustic* - rehearsals). I'm not sure I'd use it at an open mic, and certainly not anything with a drummer.

That's odd - he's pretty responsive when I contact him. I'll send him a link to the thread.

Just to check, have you been emailing [email protected]?

Fixed it for ya :-)

Here's a little Q4n clip from a dep I did last night. The camera is behind the PA, so you're just getting backline and the backside of the monitors.
