Radiohead

Post by oddball »

I saw Radiohead last night. Of course, they gave a fantastic performance. Great show!

Of note, among the approximately 1 gazillion guitars used, were several Rics, including what appeared to be a 340, 360 and 360/12. The Rics were mostly supporting, but they came through very well. Need I even mention that Fireglo was the dominant color....

I however, am in the midst of my several month wait for my 370....

Oddball: Thanks for the update with regard to Radiohead. They have given Rickenbackers great exposure and yes they have been heavy on the Fireglo finish.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

There's a photo in today's L.A. times of Bruce Stringsteen and the E street Band (from their show here yesterday) and looks like Little Steven is playing a 660/12 FG

I was under the impression RH had switched to teles primarily - nice to know they still have some class ;)

Do you recall what songs the ricks were played on?

Jonny played a tele mostly, breaking many strings, but Thom played rics in a couple of songs, and Ed(?) did also, in different songs. Leads were generally by tele.

Unfortunately, I have listened to every album a millions times, but cannot seem to match names with songs. I will consult the historical memorialization of the show (he said mysteriously) and get back to you. I can tell you with 98% certainty that no rics were played on the new album material
