JohnCovach Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 The cherryburst 150 is the official guitar of the new Tull and Led Zep tributes projects I'm adding to my list. Here it is at today's Tull rehearsal in Akron:
High Flying Bird Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Steiner will chirp in here soon..... We saw the guy from Aqualung at a drug store in Kalamazoo in 2009. Bad intent indeed!
tulk1 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 JC, is that a Vox 15 or 30 behind you? Thought you'd have to play Soldano for Martin's electric sounds. Can't wait to hear clips of these two bands. I like Zep I & II, but there isn't much Tull that I don't like! One of my fav bands of all time. What era are you covering for the Tull group? Next, you'll need to do a Uriah Heap tribute band, Very 'Umble, Very 'Eavy thru Sweet Freedom, maybe.
Steiner Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Well, you've covered my trifecta. Tull, Yes and Zeppelin. There's more than enough material there to keep any dedicated musician working hard. Best of luck with the dynamic, odd time signatures!
JohnCovach Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 I've got a Marshall Vintage Modern head and 1960a cab for the Tull and Led Zep. That AC15 is for rehearsals and club gigs--it's my favorite combo amp right now. We're doing Tull material up through about Songs from the Wood right now. Lots of fun!!
Kuz Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 John, I LOVE that you are using the Cherry Burst 150 for those bands. Super Retro Cool!!!! I had a '69 LP Deluxe that LIKE AN IDIOT, I sold years ago, ARGHH!!!!!!!!! A lot of people call Cherry Bursts, "Clown Bursts"..... but I just think they don't understand COOL!!! Here is a pic of my PRS David Grissom Trem (PRS DGT) in cherry burst that when I was on the PRS said I should have REFINISHED??????
Guest HRB853370 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I want to know who plays flute and who can sing like Ian Anderson. He had quite the unique voice. JT was the first concert in Detroit I ever attended, Cobo Hall. Or as Dick the Bruiser used to say, "air conditioned Cobo Arena".
yoslate Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 John. Hope you guys do Teacher. Love "the lick"! Roundest tone imaginable. Be cool to hear you nail that.

"I'll take 'em down to Cobo Hall and teach 'em the meaning of the word Respect!"
JohnCovach Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 Don't you mean "air-conditioned Cobo Arena"?
Guest HRB853370 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Don't you mean "air-conditioned Cobo Arena"? read three or four posts above John, I beat you to the punch on that one!!
JohnCovach Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 Aha--I see it now. What were the others? Some other venue was "acoustically perfect"--was it Ford Auditorium? And then there must have been something to go with Olympia--"conveniently located" maybe.

JohnCovach Posted November 7, 2011 Author Posted November 7, 2011 Fox Theater-Detroit! Grande Ballroom-Detroit! Right, but Dick the bruiser had descriptors for all the Detroit venues; "air-conditioned Cobo Arena" was just one of many.

My 140 was converted because I just didn't like it. Before: After:
koula901 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I'll see your clown burst and raise you "140" I like the sharp horn on this 140

bolero Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I like Cherry Bursts plus that is what a '59 burst was supposed to look like "skating away on the thin ice of a new day" has always been one of my faves "too old to rock and roll, too young to die" best song title ever "My God" great when the band hammers in, must be awesome dynamics live I tip my hat to anyone who can pull off Ian Andersons vocals & stage presence...wirey medieval minstrel transported forward in time...with marty feldman eyes!!
FredZepp Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Well, you've covered my trifecta. Tull, Yes and Zeppelin. +1 Oh Yeah... that is quite the Trifecta, indeed. The volume of excellent tunes from those three is huge. ....lookin' forward to hearing this.
Steiner Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 FredZepp, what say we start a tribute - tribute band?
FredZepp Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 FredZepp, what say we start a tribute - tribute band? I'm in. ... Does this mean we need a Cherry Sunburst 150 now..?
Steiner Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 He he... Got us covered. But, I anticipate you've already got us covered.
brentrocks Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 How do you even have time to think John? You are very busy with all of your projects....that is really cool though to be able to play all that great music!!!
JohnCovach Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 It's a lot of music to keep under your fingers but so much of this stuff is already in my head--from years of listening--that's it's not so hard to keep up. Playing in multiple projects is really about the only way to keep busy. Performance opportunities have slowed down so much over the years. It used to be that it was hard to imagine being in two bands without conflicts, but now you can be in several and still have too many open dates.
