My wife and I were at the Orbit Room show as well as the Bay City show, and we've got tickets to the Pine Knob show. Reb, if you read this, we were the two in the front with the Winger shirts on. Killer night... Reb came out and in the first few minutes noticed my wife's shirt. He pointed and said "That's awesome!" Next tune, Uriah tapped him on the shoulder and pointed us out again. Doug either recognized us from the night before or was also noticing our shirts, because he acknowledged us as well. It was badass, to say the least. I say "us", but I was behind my wife, who is extremely attractive, so I don't think they really paid much attention to me lol. Reb didn't just throw my wife a pick, he put it in her hands and then blew her a kiss. We got picks from Reb, Doug, and Uriah.
The Bay City show was kickass, too. We got quite a few pics, but I have to resize them...
For all the gearheads, Reb came out playing an IBANEZ RBM2NT! I think he played it for two songs, then he switched to a Suhr. I think it was a Modern, it had two humbuckers and a quilted maple top with like a cherry sunbursty kinda finish. Then out came the Suhr koa. He played one other blue Suhr with a white pickguard. His pedalboard had what appeared to be four items on it. A wah (not sure what it was, but it had two LED's on the FRONT facing the audience), a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power unit, a Voodoo Labs Ground Control Pro, and one other pedal that looked gray/silverish and was about the size of a Boss, but I don't know what it was.
Both shows were as amazing as you'd expect. Coverdale hasn't lost a step, and the whole band is kicking some serious ass.
Kozmoe, I think I saw you and your wife... My friend and I were waiting in my jeep for the line going inside to go down when you walked by with the Winger shirt on and I yelled "all right" at you.
Noticed the Ibanez too but was far enough back to not be able to get all the details like you.
Truelly a smallish world after all! Are you based on this (west) side of the state, middle or East side?
Thought it was cool to see the Winger shirt... We actually were listening to Winger when you walked by. If you can, put up some pics and be sure to fill us in on Pine Knob! Can't attend The Knob myself but plan on taking in a show while in Phoenix visiting a friend.
