We have a new HDTV and while test driving it yesterday, ran across a channel called "Palladia" which was showing a TP &HB concert from 2007. I hope I recorded it, but the DVR has been acting funky.

It seemed to be a smaller venue than an arena. They played a LOT of old blues songs which was pretty cool.

Looks like they stored the Vox Super Beatles and Mike was running through 2 Black face Princetons (non-reverb), an outboard Fender reverb unit and a couple of Fender Silverface amps (possibly Deluxe reverbs). Tom is using his red Marshall stacks, with a Gibson SG, red Tele and a couple of Gibby acoustics, Guild 12 string. Mike was using a strat, White Falcon, that green mandolin that looks like a Ric and I can't remember what else. Ron had an old Harmony bass and his Jaguar bass.

Stunning in Hi Def! Any ideas what and where this concert was?

This sounds very similar to the setup used for the April '03 taping of "Soundstage". This might help: Did Mike and Tom have long beards or were they clean shaven?

Hi Jake,

It could very well be the Sound Stage taping from 2002. FWIW, Tom & Mike were clean shaven and Steve Ferrone was playing a set of Pearl drums versus Grestch.

Also, before 2005, Mike had a large perm in his hair. In 2005, he either got dreads or straightened his hair. If he had the large perm, this is the determining factor.
