QuoteDandelionPowderman .... Keith has played the guitar solos on Satisfaction live for some 45 years, though. He's made guitar generated noises whilst running about and posing might be more accurate for that now often encore number Edited to add. MT's slide playing on this San Diego rendition was sublime. You won't hear Bluesier slide than that from anybody.

It is the social media thing . Old school stars were created when popular music was the main focus of youth culture. Stars were created by people hearing the music, buying the records and attending the gigs. Music just isn't the same driver of youth culture as it was and won't produce global stars in the way it once could unless it's accompanied by mass trending on all the o

Playing JJF in standard or open E tuning gives it a more bottom end sound. They ought to try it again. Never really figured out why Keith started playing it in open G ..it kind of puts the riff in the wrong register.

I wonder how how our opinions of some live song performances would differ if we didn't have the original recording as a reference ? Sometimes there's a vibe captured on record that can never be duplicated on stage, which might then sour our response to the performance . Other songs might be very different when played live, but kind of develop their own live on stage alter ego that

A few I think...certainly the one I attended at Sheffield... and I've clocked pictures of him with it from other shows too. He used the Blonde 999 Tele for NFA on occasion too if memory serves...which it may not ;^) I sometimes lose track of all those guitars to be honest ...

It delivered some big booming chords when used for the NFA opener on the VL tour too.. Much more effective than when he used a Tele.

QuoteThe Worst. True! But live versions included many tempo shifts and great jammin' which also allowed John to improvise a bit. Magic Bus from Live at Leeds is probably one of my favourite live performances of anything.
