Dscrapre Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 This is something that I've been wondering about for some time and I'm sure it's been discussed but I got no results from searching. For live performances of Seven Cities of Gold, Alex had a second guitar on a performance stand. On the DVD he goes up to it and strums the open strings during the outro, but I really can't hear it. I also remember him using it at the first Chicago show, to similar sonic effect. I noticed that by the Milwaukee gig in 2013, he stopped bringing it out. Does anybody have any clue what the point of the second guitar was? I can only guess that it was some kind of weird experiment that didn't really work out the way that Al wanted, so he ditched it.

Did you get the "B" setlist every time? I saw them twice and I got the exact same "A" setlist both times, so I missed out on Dreamline, The Pass, Wish Them Well and (personal favorite) Middletown Dreams.

vprtrls Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I saw the tour 3 times and missed out too!! Seeing that extra guitar, the Les Paul, no less, just blew me away. I'd have went have went even more nuts at the concert. Thanks for posting the video, I still only watched the first set of the DVD. Bring on the next album and tour :rush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
