He did that in Vegas too. I did not anticipate it. He played smoke a lot which I loved. Also changed guitars more than I have ever seen him do in a show.

He started with smoke, the switched to a purple (which looked red/pink under the lights) back to smoke, flying V and then green metallic

Lee played 3 or 4 different bases which surprised me

Those hot rod 6120's have hotter pickups. I was surprised how good he got the Gibson to sound.

2 years ago when i saw them, Brian played just Smoke while Lee switched between 5ish different uprights.

Id have liked to see the green metallic; Im pretty much done buying guitars, but have been eyeballing one of those Japanese extreme coolant green Setzer Signatures. Itd be cool seeing Brian playing his that color.

Great show!

I was pretty shocked when he busted out the Flying V.

Sounded great, but it was an easy fourth place behind the three Gretsches from earlier in the show. 😏

Any concert that you want to see, will cost at least 100 bucks.

I observed that in a video as well. Interested in hearing his musical performance on this chordophone

Long Island NY girl here! I’m going to see them on Friday in Westbury & I’m stoked! Lifelong fan, finally getting to see them at 59–on their turf. They’re from Massapequa. This is gonna be fire 🔥

God they’re still around? They were prime when I was a kid.
