I passed on poor Intel. Dang for me. But thank you to Steve.

That was in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Yes, Steve Morse played on every song, including getting into some riffing back and forth with Rik Emmett. They were all smiles, as was I.

I went to see Triumph a few weeks ago, with April Wine opening. I think the tour may be over now, the last shows were in Boston (at least that is what it says on my concert shirt). April Wine without Myles Goodwyn (RIP), was basically the band that had been touring with Myles, but with an officially endorsed new front man. It's not the same without Myles, but they got the crowd warmed up and singing along. As for Triumph, they are/were a trio. The bassist, Mike, couldn't make it and they added two guys from The Conspirators, they are a great add. The additional drummer let Gil get out front and sing a few tunes, also synching two kits made a bonus add. As for Phil X, he replaced Rik way back when he left the band and filled in the high notes, as did Todd Kerns. The night I went, Phil X could not make it and Rik called up his old collaborator Steve Morse. That was a treat. I am obviously a fan. The stands were full of us old guys n gals having a great time. We had good seats, about $270 total for both. Considering concert prices these days, not bad. Obviously more than my 1982 $18 stub.

Zappa's covers were interesting...

I saw this and had to share. Maybe it's a typo.... https://www.facebook.com/share/1A5NMZm9bQ/

I'd take in a show if it was nearby. I saw a version of the JP project 40 yrs ago. They are still rockin and that's cool. But who is buying the 10K show package where Joe gives you a signed and played 2K Les Paul. They are actually selling... https://guitaroffmyback.joeperry.com/

A bit off topic, but AI related... At the final live Kiss concert the band introduced their avatars. Although I haven't heard much about the avatar tour since. If it were at the sphere, it might be entertaining to watch, once. But if I'm in the mood for live music I'll still go to the local venue to watch the live person talent. Sue Foley was the last show we saw in our favorite venue. She did not call it in, great show. From the Kiss site; You already know about the KISS avatars show we’re working on, but we have so much more planned — and it’s all going to blow your mind! Follow us on KISSonline.com and on our KISS socials for more huge announcements coming soon — including a call to serve for all members of the KISS Army. Because 50 years is just the beginning.

Wow Jakeboy - I agree that top is insane! What is the name for that color? If ever I have the chance to make and order it would be with that color top and three pickups. Good grief, this posting likely has alot of people taking inventory and deciding what to sell

I am proud to own a USA made Hamer and Westerly made Guild. Hopefully Heritage and G&L can continue operations and don't join the rare bird end of my collection. Every time I take the Hamer out, I appreciate the quality and thought that went into it's construction. This forum really supports those who appreciate fine guitars.

Nobody has mentioned Bob Dylan covers. He has written many great songs and sometimes I understand the words when he sings them, but generally they sound better by someone else. Like Hendrix's versions of "All along the Watchtower" and "Like a Rolling Stone " (live version). Also GnR's version of Knockin on Heaven's Door .......lots to pick from with Dylan.
