Re: DD

IT MUST BE THE SAME ALL OVER, THIS SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE SHOWS I'VE
SEEN HERE ON THE EAST COAST...........
3) Having said that, has anyone heard DD play Miserlou the way he
recorded it originally in the last ten years? And what about the
original beat which I think is so important to the song? Has
anyone
even heard him play it all the way through in ANY version? With
the
bridge? 4) DD's show isn't much of a musical experience - it's a
show.
You
don't go expecting to hear songs. You go to see him make his
silly
faces, hear all 110+ db's of his Strat/reverb/Dual-Showmans, pull
up
barely-dressed teenage girls to hold up sheet music so he could
play the same trumpet part he's been playing for 40 years in the
middle
of the Wedge, and then feel them up, and listen to him embarass
himself
by talking about how he suffers with the indigenous people of
Earth,
how his soul cries out over the destruction of the environment,
how
he taught Jimi and Stevie everything they knew and their entire
catalog was actually an homage to him cause they thought he was
dead,
how he invented the Stratocaster and maybe the motorized airplane
(though he thinks there may have been a couple of brothers around,
too, but it was mostly him), how Deep Purple actually stole Smoke
on
the Water from one of his unrecorded riffs and to prove it he'll
now
just play the riff for about ten minuts, etc... If Slacktone
plays
the entire DD catalog right before his show, it wouldn't make a
damn
bit of difference, cause that's not why people come to see DD.
