Don't be. You saw them that early...I'm speechless.
I wish there was more professionally filmed shows from the early days than just the Montreux gig from '78. Maybe there is.

Nothing about it ever looked easy to me. Just the marching patterns are amazing to watching. Can't imagine having to play at the same time. I'd be bouncing off people around me. But people would remember the halftime show.
La Grange comes to mind....

If you are happy with them, then no. I just put 50-110 EBCF strings on the Flamingo. They still need a little playing time to settle in and sound like they should, but I'm expecting them to be what I want them to be.

But their formations move too! My mind still boggles...
This is the level of choreography I can understand.

Last week I decided to buy myself a non-reverse, short scale six string T-bird alike.
Named her "Misty" after her Burgundy mist finish. I'm playing her all the time now.

Incredible for the era. No amps on stage, so must be all in ears. Wireless guitars (with no noise). And you don't even need to touch the cymbals to get sound out of them!
All that and they sound exactly like the record.
Wow, Pete Townsend didn't age compared to Daltry and Entwhistle. And I didn't know he had a brother (whom they are glad he didn't bring).
Not Andertons, but VP is present (I guess).
Pro, not VP. Active bass.
I have nickel Roto 66s my tobacco-burst bolt-on 'bird atm, they work pretty well with it
I've actually not been able to find any quite like the ones I used to use, the music store guys were the ones calling them "jazz picks". Some are close, but ...
I'd pretty much forgotten that the group I was in-on keys and woodwinds-in 71 used to do this live in concert. I played the synth part on a VOX Continental organ>a Leslie.
Our drummer-a big WHO fan-could've taken over for Keith Moon with about one week of rehearsal. He even looked like him. Nowadays he does mold remediation.

The blue/white one I have is bigger than a standard pick - 1 3/4"x 1"x 1/4". Actually a very controllable size/stiffness for articulation. The red one is bigger/mushier - maybe better for an upright...
Why do singers lip synching over exaggerate their mouth movements? The mic they're holding isn't on, just actually sing the effing song and look natural.
(end rant)
