Yeah, the tank was there but I don't think he was using it. Where was Adrien?

-Marty,
I don't know if Dave was using it, but there was a tank onstage.
I had to be careful not to kick it when I went up to say a few
words. Allthough Dave did tell me awhile back that he has the
equivelent of a tank built into his amp now. So no tank is necessary.
Quite the cool evening I must say. Good to see so many people
there. But as always, was disappointed that some weren't.
oh well what do you do?

he switched to later in the night. I image there is a difference but
it wasn't obvious to me. I understand he was using a Memory Man and a
tape echo but no tank. It was a great sound overall.
