Full Moon Fever - Los Alamitos 9/13/12

Post by rickenbrother »

My Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tribute band, Full Moon Fever, will be playing at the St. Isadore gourmet food truck stop on Katella Ave in Los Alamitos, CA on Thursday September 13, starting at 7 PM. I'm pretty sure the show is free. The gourmet food trucks, which are there every Thursday night, help to benefit St. Isidore's Historical Plaza. So you'd just pay for food if you came hungry. I hear these are really good food trucks. Might be a good idea to bring a folding chair if you'd like to sit. I think there are benches, but they get filled up fast, as this has become a popular spot to get food and hear live music. Bands play there with the food trucks every Thursday night. I think we will be there for a night in October as well.

The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

I was about ready to head out the door to go; St. Isadore is about 5 minutes from my house; I'll put it on my calendar for next week, if I don't have rehearsal. :)
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

Man, I lived in Los Al for over 15 years, and it was always the town where nothing happened. As soon as I left there is cool stuff like this (and previous Rickenjams etc.), go figure! :)

I will try to make it out there, if possible.

Wish I could be there. The video of you guys was cool but I have never heard a video as good as the real live performance.

Break a leg, Joey! Will you post some videos so those attending can get a taste of what to expect? 8)

BTW, if I ever attended a gig, could I be a guest? :mrgreen: The Heartbreakers are famous for guests onstage: Eddie Vedder, Stevie Nicks, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne, Lenny Kravitz, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Stewart...

Joey -- you guys were Rickin and Rockin tonight !!! :D

I really enjoyed tonights performance in Los Al, and Kevin, who sang the Tom Petty vocals, was so authentic sounding.
Naturally, the best numbers were when your JetGlo 4003 was accompanied by the FireGlo's V64-12 and the 330 for the three Ric line up ! ! ! :wink: Looking forward to seeing some of the pictures that Diane took this evening !

Ahh --- was that a Toaster or High Gain in the neck position ? ? You must have Zymolized that 4001 before the show because under the lights, the JetGlo finish was sparkly and flashy... the Binding was illuminated and it looked great under the evening lighting. I had commented to Diane how great that JetGlo looked.

I especially liked you bass counter melody playing in unison with the V64-12 string guitarist on the instrumental break in "The Waiting". Tasty sounding stuff.

IIRC, it's a toaster, has '70s Crushed Pearl FWI and a sandcast gap tooth tailpiece.

We really need to get this band to a Rickenjam next year...!

Jake: I wish it had all the appointments that you described. It does have the toaster and I do believe it's the last 4001 that RIC made with checkered binding as a standard appointment because I've never seen or heard of another August '73 with checkered binding. No gap in the tailpiece and regular triangle inlays.
Rich: I just wiped it down the best I could with a cotton diaper. It has too much finish checking. Paul W recommends not to use Zymol or any other wax on a guitar with finish checking since it might get through to the wood.
