He"s touring with UFO right now, Vinnie Moore on guitar. I must admit I didn't know who he was. He stole the show. What a fun bass player to watch and listen to!!! I am gobsmacked.
And tonight he had a gorgeous ESP thunderbird thru an old school SVT. Amazing tone and finesse for days. I don't know whether to just quit playing or try harder!!
When I saw him with dokken, he had carvin 6 strings with a bass pod pro. He was the first and only "pro" I saw use the pod live. He was a pleasure to watch.
Honestly I had an epiphany watching him last night. He was having so much fun that it made everyone in the room happy. I am going to make a point of sharing my joy at being onstage with my audiences. What a performer that guy is!!!
