What a great show! They played from 8pm to 11:25 with a 25 minute break. The three of them are getting older, but don't miss a beat. Their enrgy level was high all night.
The high point of the show for me was Between the Wheels from Grace Under Pressure...One of my favorite songs - never heard that one live before. I guess they have to play some newer songs, but what they're doing now doesn't do it for me. They did only 3 new songs and I couldn't get into any of them. Unfortunately, they didn't do anything from Presto.
Alex's guitar sound was MONSTROUS!
He got caught up in that awful chorus on distortion sound for a while a few years ago, I'm glad he's moved away from that (Eddie VH follow suit!)
He was using two Hughes and Kettner (sp?) heads. He used about 6 guitars all night, the one that got the most play was a plain-jane black PRS, no birds. He had a PRS LP with a gorgeous top on it (with birds). He did Xanadu on a white Gibson (?) doubleneck and he used what I think was a reissue of his white 335 from the old days...it just looked 'whiter' than the old one, but they did make a point in the video show of showing pic of him with the old one during whatever song he used it on (can't remember)
Anybody else been to this tour? I'm surprised to not see any other reviews up.
