If you didn't catch them on Letterman ... stage set up was interesting.

Phil: Eden heads and 2 4X10 cabinets

Bobby: Vox AC30

Warren: Pair of Deluxe Reverb reissues

Jeff: Yamaha grand piano

Billy: Regular kit

Mickey: No kick drum ... just timpani mallets and toms and cymbals? Does he have a kick drum on the real stage?

That sounded damn good to me!

Thought they sound really good. Can't wait for a little less than 2 weeks to see them live.

Rock solid !
Think they did Sunshine Daydream into the commercial break ? That would be like leaving out the last knocks in Shave and a Have cut ! Two bits.....
When did Phil go B.C.Rich ?

I like them with a small setup... very clean and tight.

Dave's taller than I pictured.

I wondered the same thing. Then thought... Maybe the boys wanted to leave us wanting more!

He's been using that ugly monstrocity custom thingamaBASS for a while now. Sounds better than I though.

It's a Ritter Jupiter, made by a small German shop headed up by a guy named Jens Ritter. It does sound awesome!

That was much more "American Beauty"ish than they've played it in years.

That was great. Love to see 'em on Letterman.

It looked like Phils fingerboard fret-markers are blue LED's.

Just chalk it up to "Less is More!"

This was FANTASTIC!!! I am so psyched to see the boys in Denver!

Peace,

That was tight! Good call Bob; playing one of your own songs!

I thought it was good too. Bobby looked better than he did in Charlottesville. Anyone who has tried knows this song is hard to sing-and he did a fine job.
My guess is that either tonight's show, or MSG they will OPEN with Sunshine Daydream. Just a cool thought.
