Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

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.

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
