  3. Damn! I so wish I had been there. I only live about 20 min away, but the initial reports said you needed a Fordham student ID to get near it. Blast!

    Jeff--is that Edge's "small rig" that he used for the BBC rooftop? Only half the rack, one Vox, one Fender...?

    Yep, that looks like the similar to same bit used at BBC.


  5. I have been known to rock.

    ADAM was rockin' his arse off at Fordham. (Ofcourse, he might just have been trying to stay warm)

    But yeah, It's great to see them all 'going for it' at the GMA and Letterman shows this week.

    First sentence is AWESOME

    Indeed, it's great seeing the boys enjoying themselves, having fun in the stage and out of the stage, and of course, las but not least, ROCKING THE PLACE


  8. Just one Vox AC30 and one Fender (Blues Jr or Deluxe?) amp-wise. I'll defer to the resident guitar sage for more detail.
  9. I wonder what will happen with the amps on this new tour--if there is no front or back, where will they face?

    Maybe they'll do what I've seen sometimes and store all the amps and equipment backstage (understage in their case I guess) and use the wireless hookups. Brad Paisley and the Stones have done similar things I know.
  10. Is it just me, or Larrys kit at the Obama Inaug was really small?


  11. "We Are One" - Obama Inauguration concert kit:


    The Kit Used for the "We Are One" show was a bit of a hybrid of drum models.
    - Oak Custom (24") bass drum
    - Oak Custom (16") floor tom
    - Absolute Maple (14") rack tom

    ...all in silver sparkle. The chap from Yamaha wasn't sure about the snare drum. It didn't look like the one of the Brady snares that Larry's used... I will have to investigate the video footage and pictures a bit more.

    Kit used for Letterman and Fordham:



    Differences are the bongos and Roland pad on the Letterman/Fordham kit. And all drums are Oak Custom model.

    So essentially, the kit is the same size as the Obama Inauguration Concert kit. Same more and then removes items that are to Larry's left of his hi-hat, as needed. During boots the Roland pad and bongos are there. When a floor tom is needed there, that replaces the other items.

    All of the amps are mic'ed and most of what you hear will be through the PA. While Edge has had 5 amps on-stage (Vertigo tour) there were more BEHIND those amps that are isolated, mic'ed and go straight to Joe O'Herilihy for mixing.

    Any stage movement would probably be done between songs so there wouldn't be much of a doppler effect.
