Hi Vinnie, if things work out well we'll play Stockholm, Gothenburg, Lund and Halmstad spring 2009. I wouldn't mind going to USA, Germany, Denmark, etc, etc..... :-)

BTW, did you ever get the stuff from DIME, or are you still stuck

Best regards
/Michel

Hi Michel,

Any chance of seeing or hearing your band by means of internet?
And will you do Holland?
Good luck :thumbsup: on your PG tour.

two birds with one stone
 

I join Wouter in wishing you "Good Luck Michel",

I would love to hear your music if available somehow on the internet or otherwise.


As for dimeadozen, I can only say that I would like to thank all my ledge compadres for sharing of their good fortune and bounty over these years. Without you I would still be cursing that site's unavailability to me.

Well, I live on the east coast of the U.S., twenty mins. from Philadelphia. Since you're in Europe "getting over there" isn't that easy. If you were inviting me to play in your PG FM tribute I would've loved the opportunity.

Thanks Vinnie and Wouter, and I would love to visit Holland!

The only thing I have on internet is a pickup mod soundclip at YouTube... :-(
(the fact that people still listen to it have made me deside to put up something else, but I can't say when)

Slipkid, we'll have to work on that :-)

Please let us know when you will be playing in Lund, zoork. It is easy to get there from Copenhagen!

Ms Moose

Thanks Ms Moose, I'll let you know, also hope to meet you there...:thumbsup:

Nice to hear some amp geek talk! :D

Judging by live pictures it seems like Peter, Danny and Jeremy used a bunch of different Fender amps over the years. Early pictures shows Peter with a Vox amp, probably an AC50 or the bass version called Foundation Bass. Then , according to Jeremy, Peter got a Fender Bassman amp and cabinet. I've seen pictures of Danny playing through a blonde Fender head, probably a Bandmaster, but there's also a picture of him in the Blue Horizon Box, playing through a blackface Super Reverb. Then of course they had the ORANGE Matamp period. Late '68 to about mid '69. Shrine ´69 is probably the best recorded example of the Orange amp sound, at it's best! In late '69, early '70 Peter and Danny got Dual Showmans with separate speaker cabinets. Somebody told me that Peter used 12" speakers while Danny used 15" speakers. Jeremy used Twin Reverbs, also with extension cabs. When Peter quit, it seems like Danny and Jeremy kept on using the Fender amps. At least it sounds like that on the "Madison Blues" live box. When Bob Welch joined Danny moved to Hiwatt (and Orange) amps, according to Bob himself. Bob played through Fenders. I guess they didn't want too similar tones. A Strat for Bob, and a Les Paul Black Beauty for Danny. Those were the days!! :)

amen
 

Times were a lot simpler then

but it was way crazy enough for them and me

doodyhead remembers

Agreed, Cussion

BTW, I've been watching the clips from France 1968 over and over again, blond amps, but I still can't tell if they're Bandmaster, Showmans, etc.

I always thought P G used 15" speakers, perhaps it's time for me to stop looking for a "stinkin' heavy" 2 x 15 cabinet.... :laugh:

There's really something special with the guitar sound at Shrine, I get the feeling tone controls are set to zero e.g. on Rollin' Man

I think you should stick to the 2x15 cabinet hunt if you're looking for "the real thing", Zoork. I'm pretty sure PG used - not one, but - two Dual Showmans with two 2x15 cabinets, at least on parts of his last tour with Fleetwood Mac. Here's a pic from Stockholm, April 1, 1970, showing him in front of his double setup, here playing his 6-string bass but he sure used the same equipment for his LP. On the pic you cannot actually see that the cab's are 2x15 but to my memory it has always been. I remember being surprised over the fact that he used cabinets that usually was used by bass players, but it sure sounded alright......:]

I'll do that Dogon!

The picture is really cool, who is the photographer, you????

Why not me, where were Iiii ......!

Yes, where on earth is that picture from Dogon? There is not often any new pictures about and I haven't seen this before.

Yeah! Very cool and rare picture!
That must've been from their show at Konserthuset. I'm living in Stockholm by the way.. ;)

Yes, I took the picture myself, with the camera in one hand, the microphone in the other and overwhelmed myself in the middle. :)
The location was Konserthuset in Stockholm, April 1, 1970.
Glad you liked the pic, here's another one, beware of the poor quality:
