It has some repute. I don't. It's good to keep it that way.

I saw an older Stevie Winwood concert on TV a while ago. Stevie was playing a Hammond organ while singing, being the multi-talented instrumentalist that he is. The Bass also sounded great. At first I thought it was a typical recorded concert where they never show the Bass player then I noticed he was simultaneously singing, playing the organ and doing a fantastic job on the organ Bass pedals. The bass runs were so smooth it sounded like it was a real Bass player! It was a 3 piece band...Organ, Guitar and drummer. I wish I could find that concert because he was fantastic as usual.

he had no bass player when I saw him open for Steely Dan years (7?) ago at Shoreline….as good as the band sounded Fagen and crew clearly outdid them…

A few little things are different. The nut has changed to a molded one, the truss rod cover is a thicker material. Clover tuners are of a more generic type. Point of manufacture has changed from Indonesia to China.

Great review! How different is this from the last Thunderbird 60's version? Same 760 pickups and large headstock? I love that Ember red...tempting when it comes out!

I love Steely Dan! Both Steely Dan and Stevie Winwood have deep catalogues of great songs. It doesn't surprise me Steely Dan was the Headliner but I can appreciate both.

:laugh: I don't think it could be any worse than Mogan David. It's been over 40 yrs and I can still taste that awful stuff. The only thing I ever drank and puked with. Didn't even drink all that much. I think it was a gov plan to kill off all the winos. Seems to have worked. People have moved on to less dangerous stuff like crack and H.

Which reminds me. Something I reckon only Miles has heard or remembers.

Before Skynyrd was SKYNYRD. Ronnie tore it up on that one but the song overall was very straight simple rock. The version of Freebird on that album is interesting. The intro is simple and subdued, but in the instrumental breaks, parts are nearly identical to what came later.
