Thunderbird Club

That's an incredible performance/document. Have watched it a few times.

Yup. I have the whole concert on VHS, dubbed to DVD.

I found my T-Bird pin in a box of old band posters. I forgot I had this.

With all this Chicago talk, I gotta post this one of Kath...

Probably his best known solo, but listen to his chording throughout. Just nicely gives the band a foundation along with Cetera.

Do they make it in NR?

There's live Miles from then where everyone in the band had a way-wah pedal except the drummer & percussionist!

The trumpet man in our little jazz quartet has one.

Very nice. That never gets old. Sadly I recall the day it came over the news he died.

Wonder who makes bass amps with light blue on them.....

So pretty much anybody, so it's difficult to tell.

That's from the time frame of the 2nd time I saw them(in WPB,FL).

Its about three years before I was on stage with them.

I’m not sure. I got it in 1993 from a catalog.

Gibson bass fun with The Raspberries

NBD!
Alpine White Epi VP delivered today!
Needs a full setup (A string sounds a bit wonky), to get it sounding as good as my ebony and ‘burst VP’s, but happy to have her...

I'm sure some of you liked the Bay City Rollers but I never could listen to them and whats with their stage clothes??? I know Les had familly that loved him and I'm sorry for their loss but my ears have been saved from having to listen to them. I hope my post isn't taken as a hateful one, not intended that way.

In another week or so, the cover band is going to start up again. It's really a dad band, and I'm perfectly happy with that. The Thunderbirds will finally get to see the light of day again!

 

[Klondike]

I totally dig CTA!

While looking at the Reverse Thunderbird in MCF's avatar, I realized the bass in my avatar - a NEO Rockbass custom-built for me by Pennsylvania luthier Rich Roland, has a very similar silhouette to his Reverse Thunderbird.
I guess I've been a T-Bird fan much longer than I realized!

The Killers do a great cover of that song.
The drumming on it is fantastic.

SWEET! Glad to hear you’re getting it going!

That's really cool. What's it made of?

Not only practicing with the Hard Rock band, but last night the Classic Country band wants to get going again (after 2 years). Both gigging bands, things are really looking up!
