I loved them in the 70s. Such good guitarists. Ed King was a monster and a better slide player than Gary, IMO. But all 4 were great in their own way. When I lived in south Florida in the 70s, some local rock station played Freebird at midnight every Friday or Saturday, I forget which. Every car would tune in and blast it all together. Those were the days. We didn’t hate Freebird then, it was considered a guitar master class. Gary on slide and Allen’s one take solo…and add in Gaines on the Live album. Thanks for the nostalgia tour, @Saul Goodman.

..and I dig @RobB’s minimalist pedal board. Just rock.

Our own @bubs_42 recommends this pedal highly. Sounds like it kicks serious booty.

I am not a Rush fan. But the first album is by far my fave and it just rocks. 1st album, side 1, cut 1…hell yes! Miles played it fantastically and I saw her with Jeff Beck as well. She will tear the roof off the sucker on this tour. I wish they were coming to KC. They look like they are enjoying just rocking out and that is contagious.

Generic Hustle was badass!

@beezerboy, let us know how it turns out and sounds, please!

Good eye, Ernie. Something appears amiss here.

Something just doesn’t look right with this guitar…but maybe they did a special run (like described above) before they started making the “normal” wraptail Special Junior Korinas.

I still wanna put one on 0006…Grace & Enola…

II will say this: at least they are apparently real people playing real instruments making real music that some people like. Beats AI.

I love when @Bennyboy-UK posts. He makes me laugh like I’m 15 again….though, tbh, like most guys, I haven’t matured beyond 15…and I am 63 (15).

Me too, @hamerican gigolo

YAY! Glad it sold @currypowder!

@Camstone is great to do business with and @django49 is right about how great that Dantzig model looks.

This x 1000. I don’t usually bring GR up but his playing on this live album just killed and made a huge impression on teenage me as I wa# learning to p,at. He sounded so aggressive, fast, and fun. And yeah, the 157 break was too cool. Keep Pushin’ such a good tune. And that live version of Ridin’ the Storm Out was definitive. So much so that I used to know Gary’s solo and fills note-for-note. He could rip in A on the 17th fret and above….

This is awesome. Might be just killer for recording.

Mercy on top of mercy, @Victor (Fret Friend)! Congrats on a successful surgery. Prayers that your recovery goes as well.

That was cool. Stripped down with no place to hide.

D’addario XLs have occasionally unwound at the ball end of hi e strings while stringing over the years. It happened enough to make me upgrade to NYXLs on all my guitars. Those are string perfection for me.

You can see the “Gristle King” pedal on the lower board…

Praying the Holy Spirit brings comfort and strength for you and yours during this time, brother. A very close friend just went through this. May the Great Physician Whom you serve bless you, keep you and cause His face to shine upon you. Catch you on the other side as you recover, Victor.

I believe that was the same tour. Those names are some I haven’t heard in a long time…Wicomico was a great venue!

We have any members in that part of Texas?

@cmatthes, if that Foghat/BOC show was at the Spectrum in 1981 or 1982, Whitford/St. Holmes opened. Diane and I were there.

Just sent a second track (rough mix blues-rock instrumental)if needed.
