I can't be the only one who is happy to hear the pickups are just original Gibsons. I just can't relate to these people who spend a ton of money on a Gibson and then promptly extract one the most vital parts.
The Rebel flag draped in the background, yeeee hawwwww!!!
What brand and gauge strings? Im trying to learn Tuesdays gone but my string broke
RIP Gary Rossington.Ricky is the last OG remaining
I’m in love with Rebbeca Dirks she knows the difference between el34 and 6L6s .my dream girl and as cute as a button
What guitar does Rickey use for Free Bird?
Tech: Yes
Thanks for the questions about Gary’s tubes and speaker types.
I thought only Simple Man was in Eb not all of their songs ?
"Anweee cououou thees geetaaar Not Ma' Presidnt'"
According to his tech, Ricky uses every single guitar he owns for Freebird.
This one is the uh, 76-* ding * ah shit *- Les Paul Custom 10:40
I miss Rebecca
Never played a tube amp. Never had the opportunity to. I'd love to try one though
What kind of wood are the GibsonLes Paul guitars? Because you said they were light. Because some of the old ones used to made out mahogany wood! They were kind of heavy!
Their techs seem so uninformed of what their working with. Sad!!!!
She is the best interviewer I have ever seen on one of these rig rundowns. Finally asking some nerdy questions.
So many bands and musicians lost equipment in the Nashville flood – why didn't they ever consider the inevitability of a flood eventually? Now they will likely store instruments on the second floor, not first floor or basement. The same thing happened in New Orleans. I don't think musicians in those cities will be making that mistake again, at least they better not – more flooding seems likely…?
I always enjoy the interviews by Rebecca Dirks, who does an excellent job – her good looks and engaging personality sauce the interviews nicely!
Hi, saw Lynyrd Skynyrd in Berlin last night and I paid over 65€ for a standing ticket that, with my surprise, was located in a corridor upstairs, where the bars are. No speakers pointed in that direction in both wings, the sound was so bad over there I couldn’t even hear the drums. Ridiculous. Then I moved to the centre and from there at least the sound was slightly better, though with a lot of booming because it's under the upper ring and the ceiling reflects the sound heavily. The sound guy had probably no idea of how the "sound" was up there because he was staying down on the parterre. A location good for a sport event but for sure not for a concert.
Mind you, when your fans are listening to your gigs this way it doesn't really matter if you're playing a Gibson or an Epiphone, a Fender or a Squire, you can save your money and use cheap guitars. Sorry but I'm pissed, I was waiting for that concert since a long long time and it was highly disappointing to see it that way.
I thought they all died?
Fwreeburd fwreeburd fwreeburd… It kinda sickens me how so many people think they're a somebody because they're associated with that band…
What a sissy. 9's?
rebbecas hair blowing is sexy
Rebecca you’re awesome! You’re beautiful too! Do you play?
my my my my….. gotta love guitar techs
Store your guitars in higher ground.
what years are they?
Isn't it funny all these boutique amps nowadays that killer tone he had…a pevey??? Go figure
Bring rebecca back man…..damn I miss her
*southern accent intensifies*
This guy needs a tech for his tongue
Skynard died in 77 this is a tribute band…..
Rebecca 🙂
Many love John's Bolingers, but I miss Rebecca's Dirks!!
The high action is for strong fingers and country slide guitar players. I was surprised to hear that Gary, a rock musician likes the action as high as possible. Probably helps eliminate any buzzing and gets cleaner slow slides like on Freebird.
3:30 Crate CPB150 PowerBlock.
I've got one of those on a shelf. Wonder what he uses it for?
Omg I’d love to see Allen Collins and Steve Gaines setups!
