Radiohead Live at the Astoria

This DVD just came out this week, a re-release of a show from 1994, prior to The Bends release. Interesting that Ed O'Brien plays a Rickenbacker on about one-third of the songs, including "Creep". It looks like a 360MG with black hardware. It may have been a 12-string, but the camera is so hyper-active, I could never tell for sure. So, we like Ric's for their beautiful chime, these guys like them for creating squawking chaos and un-nerving insanity.

Nothing wrong with that...

Steve, it's a 360 MG/BT, 6 string. The guitar was stolen not too long after this show, and Ed replaced it with a 360 FG and a 360/12 JG.

Around the same time, Thom Yorke got two 330 FG's, which he uses live and keeps in different tunings.

I happen to like Ricks for ability to chime as well as their ability to create unnerving insanity.

Get it now, videos like this go out of production fast. I love Radiohead, especially their more tuneful, early songs. The fact that they use Ric's only makes me like them more !
