Like it and yeah, guard is odd, isnt it

R-Type at Dave's. I used to own this one and it's badass. Great player, lightweight. If you can stand the ill-fitting pickguard, it's worth the money.

Maybe this is closer to what you were thinking.

Getting closer....

Can confirm. He bought all of my guitars without haggling or asking any questions, and then he KEPT them!

Give it a week, someone will relist it for $4K+ and list it as celebrity owned/played.

Notice that he kept is his guitar pick.

Ritchie, one of my guitar hero's. Only got to see him 1x on the perfect strangers tour, but boy did he blow me away. Special moment, thanks for sharing the clip

Someone scored big time. Bummer Shakira wasn't included.

Thanks for posting. Much better than the clip I found this morning. Better sound too. Touching.

Tom knows his Skynyrd inside and out. He gets a pass from me on holding the clip on mic. Lynyrd Skynyrd did not use the Peavey amps on the early albums. Ed King said he used Marshall while he was in the band.

I'll do that if it's still available. Been wanting to put one of those in my PRS CE.

I had no idea of Ritchie's medical struggles. Makes sense now when I saw him on one of these videos and thought he'd gained a fair amount of weight. His guitar was up and down in volume and yes, his playing wasn't the ripping Blackmore, but it was good to see him with the other guys again. If he has arthritis etc, makes sense as to why it wasn't Highway Star.

He looked really old and frail. And honestly, he did not play that well. But he's 80 years old, has arthritis, ocular migraines etc., and he has suffered a heart attack. It was clear this was unrehearsed. It's a bit sad that people recorded this with their phones. They should just have stayed in the moment and let this be a tale of legends. Still, it was heart warming to see Ritchie, Roger, Ian P and Ian G on stage together again. Just as old friends. It felt more like a private moment than a show for the audience. My first concert was Rainbow, Straight Between the Eyes tour 1982. It was Richie, Glover, Joe Lynn Turner, Don Airey and Bobby Rondinelli in the band then. Great show. One for the books. I also saw Deep Purple in 1985. Blackfoot was the support band. We all grow old. But wearing your white socks up over your sweat pants, that is a tough one. 😅 Only Ritchie has enough "no more fucks to give" to pull that off.

I saw Purple in 1984 at Merriweather with Blackfoot. Great show. Wonder if he showed up like this:

I instantly discount anyone holding a clip on mic, especially after having just had it clipped on. Clearly shows you don't know how to work the gear you have.

Dave did this one and another one for me recently…

Like I said. I'm a dick. I've many more great tops.

Almost done...

I'm almost ready for bed...

Almost to the end...

More...

Like I said... a dick.
