I wish I could have made this show, I was in Northern Minnesota that day, if I was closer I would have tried to go. Would have loved to see him in a small venue

Darn! I though you’ve got a pic of Brian playing a Flying V!
That would be a good excuse to take mine out of isolation!

I noticed in a few videos his signal gets a bit staticy... wonder if it was the gretsch ot the bassman.
Even with the bar and restaurant seating, that would’ve be amazingly cool in such a small place. Here’s a random photo I pulled online. I don’t believe this event was really advertised but could be wrong. I check his website one and a while for shows or news.

It’s hard to say and looks like he only took one Bassman with no back up. I have the feeling maybe Brian eats at this joint and knows the owners. It seems low key enough I’m not so sure he brought his tech even. It all makes me wonder if Brian’s just trying to dust off his fingers for shows or testing the waters live with these two. Or if with his tinnitus he’s looking to do smaller venues. I bet Brian loved the more personal gig as much as the people there.

who was doing the sound in this place, oh my gaaaaash!
It doesn’t sound like anyone was. Although the video is likely done on a phone. And it’s so close with the Bassman pointed directly that maybe it’s got something to do with it. I wouldn’t have minded hearing Brian’s smooth voice. It’s difficult to make out the new lyrics!
Do you have any insider knowledge of him working on more new material?
I just dm'd you.. he's given us tidbits over the last year on social, but I think he like most are waiting out the funny business before they invest in tours again?
Funny how we all move from one guitar to another, try different amps, pedals etc. And there he is with the gear he's played most of his life . Same sound, big stage or little stage. I get the impression that the music and guitar playing comes first and he still has that passion for writing and playing

dont sell him short as he is gear obsessed!
He put that cardinal red fire bird up for sale...

Well he's famous for three boxes really.
I get what your saying for his main stage arsenal. He’s had his home collection throughout the years though.

Very cool, thanks for posting!
We know he sold a fair amount of guitars, guess he had his reasons but I think it's a common experience for the over 60s....why all this gear? I sold tons of stuff, I lost the buzz of having to own something. Or at least, after a while I felt no attachment. Apart from my Firefly Crossroads of course!

The sound was great sitting front and center at the bar!
Thanks John
Thanks John
I’ve never heard of him. He gets partial credit for Setzer’s Lonely Avenue.
