Good eyes, Tom, you're right! I was already wondering how extremely you would have to tweak a rig to get that sound out of a mudbucker.
No one ever supports me here in my love for Carmen - it's as futile as posting something from The Sparks, you guys don't "get" them either. I believe you all think they're just plain weird and nothing else! Criminal ignorance. Something about Hispanic guitarists with blue and red nail polish I guess.
If David Bowie, Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Anderson like you as a band, you must be doing something right!
Or wrong.
Thanks for posting that clip, I had not seen that filmed rehearsal for the Midnight Special yet, priceless. It's actually better than the performance, because it's a little looser.
PS: Angela Allen (the female singer, dancer, synth player) and John Glascock were an item at the time - lucky guy.
Who says that the bassist never gets the girl? (At least, if the lead guitarist is by coincidence her brother, he has a bullfighter's chance.)
