Eric Johnson is so good and going between Gain stage and the clean wash texture sound. I remember seeing pictures of his set up in 86 he used 6 fender twins 3 stereo sounds one clean, one dirty, and one for looping or tape delay
It's funny at the start of the performance, 0:00-2:00 I thought that the static interference was part of the effect, sounded like thunder or something, only EJ :)
i dont think it was his amp, i think it was either one of his amp switchers or the fuzz face because even after the noise issue you can hear him use a clean sound, dirty rhythm, and lead, but he avoids the fuzz face after the noise, and you can hear him turn it on after the song to check it. he probably thought it was the amp at first because the FF is connected to the dirty rhythm amp and he probably had the fuzz turned on before switching to that amp.
I am quiet certain this was New Orleans, La. I was there in person. Eric appeared to have some feedback problems all night during the show. I would see him again in Lafayette, La. 2 weeks later. That was a much better show due to the fact that there were no feedback problems.
Yeah you can hear that there was static/interference with his overdrive/rhythm setup all through the song.. must be frustrating when you're trying to put on a good show and the gear/sound people aren't cooperating.
He was not happy at 4:40. When I saw Eric in Japan ten years ago for the ALC tour, his sound was also inconsistent and he kept shaking his head during the show.
I also saw him get really frustrated at a show in Columbus Ohio due to hear malfunctions and it’s honestly such a sad thing to watch because he makes it so obvious that it’s a big issue for him when his stuff is not working the way it should be.
EJ is legend. Always has sound problems with his gear he is sort of known for continuous rig issues but always prevails that’s the amazing part! And when we see EJ at a future show, his new AxeFx rig problem free I can die a happy man
Qawwss2000: Which HOB was this recorded at (which city)? And do you know the date? I think he wore the same black shirt when I saw him at the HOB in Hollywood several years ago. I'm wondering if this is from that show. I went to the show in Anaheim (at the Disneyland HOB) too, but I don't remember the date. Just curious.
Whats wrong there? You hear the first notes of his overdriven turnaround and then the tone sucks off. The rest of the song his overdriven solo and rhythm tone sounds fine to me.
