Willie G. Moseley Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 Part of a series of "Young People's Concerts" hosted by Bernstein. I remember watching the original broadcast of this on a Sunday morning. Most of the show was taken up by an introduction to a then-new instrument, the Moog synthesizer (about the size of two refrigerators). When it was wheeled onstage, Bernstein greeted it with "Hello, HAL." (RE: 2001: A Space Odyssey) It was cool to see the NYR&RE start with classic instruments then work its way into electric gear (starts at around the 44-minute mark). Pretty innovative for the times. In trying to identify gear, the two guitars are a Gibson ES-330TDC (or maybe an Epiphone equivalent) and a Fender Strat. Bass appears to be an EB-3 but not really sure. And who's ever seen amps like that--straight cabs but tilt-back heads (?!?). I was gonna say Standels but don't recall the tilt-back head feature on that brand. The head appear to be solid state. Any other opinions about the bass and amplifiers?
