50,000 watts and indoor concerts. That was definitely a Bridge of Sighs tour...ouch
That may have been Rudy's original location on 48th Street before they moved some doors down closer to 7th Ave.
Saw Trower live several times in his day.
And saying he was awesome is an understatement.
I'm not sharing dresses or make up!
Suggestions, sure and I like all the Man love around here lately
There's a lot to love right there.

I was looking through his tour dates, I saw him at The Paramount 6/2/74, Ray Manzerek opened

Now I'm blushing!
There’s a reason I have two DSOTM LPs, three CDs, and a cassette. When I purchased the first LP back in the 70’s it was mind opening for me. I wasn’t dropping the needle on my favorite groove like I did with all my other LPs, I was playing it front to back only taking a break long enough to roll another one and flip the record. It was truly a listening experience. Then the Wish You We’re Here LP came out in 4 channel stereo and took the Floyd sound experience to a new high. The Wall was a continuation of the mind trip and to a degree Animals was as well.
To this day, if you told me I could only keep and play one LP ever made, it would most likely be DSOTM or possibly Wish You Were Here.
I think FedEx and UPS should have a retro shipping option where each location the shipment lands in would put an old 1920’s style steamer trunk sticker on it so you’d have a visual reminder of its travels every time you looked at it…
That would make a way cool looking pedal or guitar hard case, heck I’d even go for a Tbird with this finish!
I consider that pretty ugly...emphasis on pretty! Nice Bass."ugly" is a subjective term
Some might consider my '63 Burns of London Vista Sonic 'ugly'... but certainly that wouldn't be me.

I saw Pink Floyd at Blossom Music center right after DSotM came out. It's an outdoor amphitheater and they set up 4 giant stacks of speakers and did the whole concert in quadraphonic. The light show looked fantastic through the thick smoke and there weren't any fog machines. Ha!
Wow! That’s a lotta wiring packed into that rats nest! Is it from an era of post tube and pre IC - early 70’s to early 80’s?
Nice. And 30.5” scale to match the SG, just as I had hoped for. There’s a ton of high quality mudbuckers on the market that might drop nicely in place of that sidewinder. At a little over $400 it’s almost a no brainer.
Yep, it’s a Fender neck from a USA P bass. Had to look long and hard to find one with good figuring. And yes I contoured the headstock to my signature shape (basically cut the tummy bulge off the right side and reshaped the knob to a slight hook). Personally, I don’t like the look of standard Fender bass headstocks (looks like a stylized profile of an upright headstock laid flat, something the Egyptians were good at a few thousand years ago).It doesn't look like a Fender neck to me, Fender style, maybe he contoured it? I should ask him? I think I've insulted too many Fenderbird owners here already though.
Love Trower. One of my fav songs of his is "The Ring" from 1980's "Victims Of The Fury".
Mine too.
And a couple of yellows. Of course no lefties.

all tube, hard to see as they are underneath….
thing with these Supros is they were single input, stereo output (I know, silly) and folks keep trying to bridge them quickly blowing them up….
