Great photos! You must have had incredible seats/places to stand!

Yeah they were my "bucket list" seats, 2nd Row, Center. I have been trying for over 4 years to get to one of his shows. Last time I had tix for the "Mojo" tour in 2010 and the concert was cancelled when Tom was hospitalized. I was close enough to see the Fender "Custom Shop" sticker on the back of Tom's Telecaster.

Steve Winwood was the opening act and he was just amazing...Stuff from the Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith and Traffic, plus his solo albums..




Never seen a guitar like this one...

My Gawd, the guitar porn alone is worth the price of admission!

And I bet they sounded crazy-good to boot.

You. Lucky. DAWG!!!

Here's a link to all of them...

I was using a pocket size camera and no flash, kinda like the pics Dr. Who takes...

Great pictures, Steve ! !
Those were fantastic seats you had to get those close up photos !!

How many different Rics, in total, do you think Tom and Mike used throughout the show ? ?

At least 5 different Rickenbackers that I could see, 6 if you include Scott Thurston. I'm not sure if the 350 Mike was playing was the new 350MC one that RIC made for them.

The 350 was not a 350, but rather Tom's 615 that was converted to look like Lennon's '64 325.

WOW !!! Great Pic's and a great thread !!!!
