To be fair to Chris Shifflet, they probably only decided to do TS at the last minute and had a couple of quick run throughs at soundcheck so all in all he did a pretty decent job.......and Alex was anything but a slouch.

They're only 70's in looks not manufacture. They'll be exactly same spec as Neil's usual kit.

Don't know this singer but I can't understand the ill feeling towards him, surely the decision to not bring Jon Anderson back & give this guy the job was not his but Mr Howe, Mr White & (dare I say it) Mr Squire's.

I've just checked....it was 1981 & 1983

1977 (2112) tour - 1978 (AFTK's) tour - 1979 (Hemispheres) tour & 1980 (Permanent Waves) tour....All in the Glasgow Apollo 1981 or 2 (Moving Pictures) tour - 1983 or 4 (Signals) tour Both in the Ingilston highland showground.. My memory for the 80's dates is a bit faded lol

Would the cameras not be for the screen footage during the show?

If the solo was pre programmed & triggered then Neil would need to use a click track which he doesn't do.

I love spoilers because if you avoid them and convince yourself they'll play a certain song or whatever and you've built yourself up and they don't then your gutted (a bit like wishing for a special Christmas present and not getting it) BUT if you find out they are playing certain songs then your excitement grows as the day of the show approaches, To get all bent out of shape, call a female a bitch and steal her drink is just acting like a spoilt child and very sad!!

Superb job tapehead2 & I have to say the guy outshone Ben Mink

Sorry if this has been posted before

Neil used to follow a pretty similar format from show to show but has publicly stated that for the last few tours he has been more open to improvisation for large parts of his solos

Maybe it's just the shirt is mum gave him when he got up why look for meanings that aint there

I would go back without doubt. Having seen every UK tour since & inc 1977. I would take this tour over S&A's & CA's for sure.

Don't send anything you'll regret losing if it doesn't come back. I was lucky, I sent a copy of Neil's book Roadshow to Glasgow SECC & it came back signed & my 2112 sleeve on another tour & it came back signed by all 3

Yip

He is trying to be as true to the black chrome set up as he can honestly be. Obviously he is contracted to DW for the main drums but the rest is as close to his original set up as he can get, the shallow gong bass drum was probably chosen for it non domineering look.

DW will use this kit for promo work after the tour, make no mistake this kit will be a shrude investment for the DW brand!

the two clips I posted are on another thread on this very forum......open your eyes and you will see!
