Stagger Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 So are we to assume that after this small run with Stu Allen that's it? ...and Jeff is going to be JK's replacement?? -Stagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty the Scoob Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 They're doing the right thing IMHO and giving each a tour as an audition to see who fits better. Both are awesome so it'll be a win/win for all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been confirmed that Jeff will be playing 2 Festivals this Summer... True ... still, they are a working band and need a lead player for dates already booked. My bet is that we will know about whom ever gets the job, when they do. The idea of extended audition via touring is great ! If that can be worked out then it gives everyone a chance to settle in for a string of shows and figure out what works best. We sure are being given a treat in the form of wonderfully varied shows ;-) NOTE to Rusty the Scoob: Your band Fennario is GREAT !!!! Keep it going !!! Come out to Iowa (ok, that is a long way for you to travel, but who knows ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been confirmed that Jeff will be playing 2 Festivals this Summer... JM will be playing with DSO through August or September per Eaton. DSO doesn't know who their lead will be. It is not a secret that DSO loves playing with JM. They are doing this the right way by giving Stu a chance to tour with them to see what he brings on and off stage. I am keeping an open mind and will not assume one way or another. I'm just loving what DSO gives me no matter who's playing lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East and West Coasts Haven't seen/heard anything of Stu w/ DSO on the East Coast... There has been confirmation of Jeff in the future (Summer)... -Stagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next great bass project is there currently, being restored and modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP VincentPuleo Posted March 31, 2010 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Yes... once I find a scanner I'll put it up. Phil does some crazy over the meter stuff on that version... play just as much lead as Jerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty the Scoob Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Sweet! Can't wait to see it! I've noticed Phil seems to do pretty much whatever he wants on that... not really consistent from show to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Eaton Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 OK Let me clear this up...... Firstly we had planned on giving both players an equal opportunity to show us what they can bring to DSO before making any decisions and we still will. In Jan we were told by Stu's manager that they needed to know our plans for the summer because JGB needed to respond to gig offers, Jeff's camp had similar questions. At that time (right to the present) we had no idea what DSO with Stu will be but we did have a good idea what we would be with Jeff. We made the decision to confirm Jeff because we had no other choice, not that it's a bad choice mind you. So please try not to read to much into it. everyone involved needed to have an idea well in advance about the summer months. Deciding on Jeff was simply the only choice we had at that moment. The fact that Stu will not be on any east coast dates has nothing to do with who will be our full time band mate.Hope this clears things up. Our hand was forced long ago and we did what was best for us at the time! Rob Eaton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
