Buck- There's lots of talk about the up coming AOF shows...of course, but somebody asked a really good question: Are you going to play those with the "Cheeseberger" or are you gonna dust off one of your guitars from the AOF era?

The AOF performances will both be in the middle of multi-gig and multi-city runs, so it's the Cheeseberger. It'll sound good, don't worry. |

And are you going to dust off any of the old BOC musicians from the AOF era....?
What...? We're all thinking it...

Does the band have it planned out which shows following the BB King show (and I see the Beverly Hills, CA show) will be AoF shows? I only ask because I am unable to make it to BB Kings BUT my brother and I will be at the Littleton, CO show on June 5th. I'd love to see it! |

2 AOF shows...one on each coast...with other more standard type shows in the middle.
At least thats what I got from it.

I read that post wrong, thanks. Maybe they'll keep some of the lesser played AoF tunes in the set lists for the other shows.

With the Master guitarist playing... Never a doubt.. Can't wait.. |

It seems like an amplifier is really the critical piece of equipment in a guitarists chain. You can take a lousy guitar and run it though a great amp you will still sound pretty good, but take a great guitar and plug into a horrible amp and you will sound........horrible, no matter how many effects and gadgets you throw in.
Which brings me to a question for Buck. My all time favorite tones to come out of your guitar were from the Agents and Spectres albums. Gibson guitars but I'm not sure what amps you used then. I want to say the Boogie MKII, but I'm not sure. Do you remember how you tapped into that magic tone in the studio for those two albums? Was there a unique set up, or did everything just fall into place with the tone gods?

Most of Agents was recorded with a MusicMan 4x10 combo I believe Joe Bouchard still has. The Record Plant also had a tweed Fender Twin amp that sounded great.
Both those records were recorded and mixed by Shelly Yakus, which may have helped getting the guitar sounds you so enjoy.

In other words, you can't duplicate studio sounds live.

If you want to hear a band duplicate studio sounds, go see Boston. They sound just like the record.
Not saying that's not an achievement, but if I have a record already, I hope to hear something different. I recently saw Los Lobos play locally in MD. They played acoustic guitars all night, with drums and electric bass, and they were great. They didn't sound like the records.

I get to settle for the Two Meat Sandwich Shows. Dallas and San Antonio.

Different sort of thing, I know, but at a Clash gig once Joe Strummer was having trouble tuning his guitar - possibly due to the heat of the place - and in the end, he just asked the audience: "Who wants it to sound like the record...? Nah, me neither..." He then proceeded to play the next song at a breakneck pace, completely out of tune... he was right, it didn't sound like the record... Funnily enough, no one was bothered... |

In other words, you can't duplicate studio sounds live. Sound captured, manipulated, and finely tuned to a high degree in a controlled environment such as a recording studio versus that same sound amplified raw at 110dB in an acoustical free-for-all, it's a relatively safe bet that it's going to sound just a tad different. |
