Members MusicalSchizo Posted September 11, 2011 Members Share Posted September 11, 2011 That's pretty awesome, J. I've met him a few times - he's a nice cat and puts on a good show. Though it is probably good if you spell his name right (it's "Dierks"). Brian V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members J.Paul Posted September 12, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 What a train wreck, it poured rain during soundcheck, we were covered but stuff still got wet. When the sky dried up we finished soundcheck w/out hums or buzzes My Dr Z blew up as we walked onto our first song I bypassed my pedalboard and played the 90 minuete set w/ a BB+ and a Fender Deluxe Great crowd~Gwen deserves more audiences like those instead of the limp responses we got this summer. The agent was there (imagine that! how often does THAT happen?) and was pleased. Troubleshooting the Z Monday...will probably use my home Peavey Classic 50 for this week's shows. Dierks was pretty decent.Just stands there and does his thing. I like that. I started to get pics of the guitar stuff for you guys but the day was too crazy. They were using VD Ground Controls to racks with mounted pedals through a GCX routed to two 65 Amp Sohos Talked to someone from HC in the crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
