Well I made the jump and my first Rickenbacker, a black 620, is currently traveling with UPS, making it's journey home. Oh Yeah! I'm really looking forward to laying down some demo tracks with the Ric, Jaguar and Vox teardrop and hearing how they sound together. Compounding my excitement for my 620, I was really thrilled to see Joe Walsh playing slide on the Glenn Frey 230GF last night when I tuned in for the Eagles broadcast. The Ric's tone sounded great. Especially cool, was seeing Glenn standing next to Joe as he played Glenn's Sig guitar (of course, Glenn never played his own model!) Does anyone know if the 230GF is Joe's main guitar for slide these days? | ||

He also used the 230GF for slide on Hell Freezes Over. What suprised me is that he had 3 Carvin California Carved Tops. Timothy B. Schmidt played a Jazz bass not his signature Carvin. I thought the concert was good I didn't realize that it is on DVD until I seached for more pics. Do you know what year it was filmed? | ||

I believe it was filmed November 2004. I can't recall having seen a guy performing to a sold-out arena of adoring fans who looked as serious/doleful as Don Henley. "Take it Easy" is about picking up girls, for chrissakes! Even Frey was having some fun! | ||

Frey was remembering the old jail bait days... | ||

LOL I bet we can also assume that between Henley and Frey, Frey is the more upbeat guy. After all, wasn't his first solo effort "No Fun Aloud"! <dig to Henley??) Of course, Walsh is the serious party guy in that band: I believe he is contracually obligated to remain somewhat sober for performances ;-) Still, he is an amazing guitarist and keeps that rockin' side of the Eagles going on. | ||

If Glenn doesn't play his own model, and Joe Walsh plays it instead, shouldn't it be a 230JW??? | ||

There was a part of that performance video where Walsh was explaining that he has been "on the wagon" for over 10 years now, and how he has seen his party friends dying and he is still around because of the help he got in "the program". So, no, I don't think he is drunk, just a little odd. That's what the "One Day at a Time" song was about. I, too, got a laugh seeing HIM play Frey's signature model Ric!! |
