rubadub555 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Last night's show was based on a classic "full-service" performance, Winterland Arena, San Francisco, CA (11/11/73) complete with cowboys, aliens, Billy Sunday, Chuck Berry, riverboat gamblers, meltdowns, and a Jesus-related encore. The Orchestra continues to cast a familiar spell, and to woo even skeptical oldtimers, with an authentic blend of tones, facial expressions, and Dynamic GD-Flavored Groupmind Products. Eaton's red Gibson 335 and Weir-d chord inversions are as Boblike as can be imagined; the Chinacat bridge was detailed and genuine; Kadlecik played a Hohner/Steinberger headless guitar (the small black rectilinear plastic-looking guitar, for non-techies) and once one adjusted to this visual incongruity, and the slightly sterile highend, one was free to note how he channeled the River Garcia brightly, through rocky rapids (Loose Lucy) and calm eddies(China Doll) and raging torrents (WRS/Big River/MindleftBody) and suspended waterfall filigree(Dark Star). Drums, bass and keys were solid, unobtrusive, and "Donna" swayed, sweetened, and then absolutely belted out some large abstractions on Sunshine daydreams.

Forum MVP anddave Posted February 16, 2007 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 DSO has received the Hambone Sparklewell Seal of Close Enough. Thanks for the poetic review Hambone and welcome to the forum. I really enjoyed your trippy and concise rundown - I almost feel like I was there. I 'specially liked the waterfall part. ....but I am all aquiver with curiosity about this Steinberger. "Visual incongruity" is an understatement. JK? Can you clue us in? Are you out there? What led to that choice of axe last night? Inquiring heads with obsessive tendencies want to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennKev Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yeah, it's got me all curious too. I thought he only used two axe's these days. The carvin for 70's shows and the PRS for 80's and 90's. So, what's the scoop? Damn, we are an obsessive bunch aren't we . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubadub555 Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Corrections; Eaton's red Gibson is not actually a 335; the chickenhead knob makes it a 345 or 347 or 355 or such. And "Donna's" abstract howling took place earlier in the show than SSD. And Liberty was the filler. sincerely Halfback Sparklebone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
