Petty nailed the vocals in this version too
Two absolute legends
saw Carlos Montoya !! ) (and Santana !! )
saw three Romero Brothers and there Pop while he was still alive !! )
I was not quite prepared to see an unknown to me EVH on their first tour from the front row right in front of Eddie !! )
I wish I would have seen Hendrix and Eddie Taylor because of the TONE of peoples voices when the speak of such !! ) (The older than me 13 year old girl who went to see The Monkees and all she could talk about was someone named Jimi !! )
in the end my favorite tones are HEAVY gage strings into single coils into non master volume amps cranked !! )
SRV !! )-------(saw twice !! ) :jam_on: :jam_on:
Dick Dale !! ) ----(saw twice !! ) :jam_on: :jam_on:
Muddy Waters !! ) ( saw eight times !! ) :jam_on: :jam_on: :jam_on: :jam_on: :jam_on: :jam_on: :jam_on: :jam_on:

You're lucky to have seen him once. Every show you never really knew what you were in for. I got a lot of "Who?" when mentioning I was heading to LA to see a Paco show.afoaf said:
Last time I saw him in '12 or so (Walt Disney Concert Hall ), it was super dance heavy. One dude stomping like crazy.
I saw him at UCLA during his Costitas Buenas album and they played most of that, crazy good vocalists and a smallish venue.
First time was his sextet in the 90s, 2nd row seats at the Wiltern. Electric bass, other guitarist, percussion, vocalists, wind instruments.

I love those two. I forgot that I wanted to look up a bunch of their stuff. I have a list of music to look up in my memos app on my phone, it must be 100 bands long by now.

Goddamit, he's the third guy I meant to put on the list. He might be my favorite over the first two I listed. Didn't he just plug into a dime plexi and use his volume and tone knobs to get different sounds?
Also, I love Leslie. He had the same approach as Kossoff. Plug and go. Les Paul Jr. is all he needed to get those early sounds.
Chuck Berry
Sister Rosetta Tharpe
BB King
Roy Buchanan
Roy Orbison
I may get laughed at for this but I love Steve Jones' from the Sex Pistols' tone. Just pure fender tube breakup.
I think we can all agree there are too many amazing people to list, but let's keep trying anyway.
