Great stuff...
Bassists rig:
Mesa 400+ times 3 (4?)
Ampeg 6x10 times 2
SWR 410 (Bertha line...)
SWR 1x15 (Or 1x18? another bertha)
Assorted P's and J's...
And he was a lefty. And he strung them in reverse. ***? The basses were right-side-up... just string weird.
And the guitarist..
Steve Stevens... Les Pauls, Marshall Cabs, 3 peavey 5150's...
Good show.
Oh, and the bassist was awsome. And the guitarist was amazing, And you could actually hear the barse.
"Mony mony... mony mony... "HEY MOTHER ****** GET LAID GET ******"
good show. |

Was Black Light Syndrome the project Stevens did with Bozzio and Levin? Whatever it was, it was very cool.

SS puts a workout on that acoustic that is must see to believe. I only got to see part of it once, but would buy a copy just to see it again.

He didn;t do any solo's that I can recall, but he was amazing both as a rhythm player (compensating multi-parts at once), and ripping off the shredding leads on an acoustic!

DVD order placed!
