I'll look forward to that... What's the rig your using in the vids... nice sound, even if "tinny " (by your own sites comment)... the T'bird cuts thru well enough...

We're out of sync again and it's Friday here, 7 hours ahead of you...

Gonna have to do some trawling through some of the other guys sites for sounds before I get a rep for hitting on you... ;D

Ken,

 I use a GK1001RBII and 2, 4x10SBX cabinets...........The sound on those particular vids was recorded just from the camera mics so it's not really a good indicator of my live sound, plus Youtube sound is pretty crappy anyway.......But I do like a certain amount of clanky goodness too   ;)

Never tried GK, only knowingly seen Rush using GK gear (Lifeson...?)
700 Watts...! makes my Hiwatt pale into insignificance...
never used ten's either but I do remember trialing an Ampeg 8x10 back in '82 and it just did not suit the Hiwatt so stayed with my 4x12 Marshall...

Ken,
 I think Alex Lifeson is using Hughes and Kettner amps.
The GK travels really well in a along with a line Voltage regulator - in a rack, it has so much headroom, I've never even had it up to half volume!
10's are tight and I really like them live when we are using just my rig with out any FOH PA support.
That said I'm considering getting a new Marshall rig next year  :)

Re your GK's and Lifeson, Mark, he used them in the 80's - seen almost every tour since '77 and seen him use Marshall and Hiwatt's too, but Lee's "Henhous" gear takes the chicken by the throat - nearly as cool as his "MAYTAG's"... ;D below are the links to my '68 Marshall 50w Smallbox (please wear your shades and don,t blame me...) and my Hiwatt hybrid amp...

Aloha Gonzo  - if the hat fits... what do they feed you on over in the Pacific...? I hope they let you off the leash occasionally....!

Scott... you replied on one of my posts over on the above, and I mentioned that I had seen Slade, as far back as '73... my first 45's were "Get down and get with it" ('71 ish), "Coz I luv you" and so on and continued buying them until I discovered Lynyrd Skynyrd (Oh I'm so glad I got to see them) and then spun onto the Allman Brothers (who was this Duane Allman guy, and his friend Berry...?) and links led me to Mountain and the Doobies and all things USofA - you never know what's in your own back yard... last saw Slade in the 80's rebirth, several times...

Mark again - as above re Slade...

Ken, I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous that you saw Slade live. I only saw Slade on US TV a few times growing up, short clips on black and white TV. One they were on a long narrow stage and you could see the grill cloth on the speaker cabs blowing back and forth ! The other  they lip synced Do We Still Do It, Dave had his chicken outfit on  :o It hasn't been till recently that my online UK friends have sent me vhs tapes and donloads that I got to see how truly great they were live. Liverpool in '83 is amazing. Of course now if you look Slade up on youtube there is all you want. :)
