A couple of nice pics from last Friday Show: a nice '60s Party in a club downtown here in Rome, my band THE RELAY opened the evening with a 2 hour live set.
Then our DJ Friend SuperRetro had everybody on the dancefloor playing assorted '60s classics: beat,garage,lounge,soundtracks,freakbeat and so on...
I started the show playing my great sounding Lollar P90s equipped Guild Bluesbird, but after 4 songs one of the screws in the bridge pickup got loose and the pole was muting the e-strings...I had no screwdriver on stage to fix the problem ,and had to play my spare guitar:
a Rickenbacker 360. My little 15W Ampeg Jet 12R was amazing, well crancked it was loud enough ,both for clean and distorted parts, with a little help from some pedals.
Behind us you can see our WHO flag that we proudly hung on that horrendous fake white panel-wall.
The flag has got its reasons: we played 12 Who songs ( out of 34) during the gig ,almost turning in a Who Tribute band for the occasion, and ended the show with a great Won't Get Fooled Again..I managed to play the synth part with my guitar, just a couple of pedals ( compressor, tremolo and phazer) a lot of patience and experimenting in finding the right sound for it and ..the trick was done: it went down a storm!
