Saw Stone Temple Pilots last night here in Detroit.
Sat about 10 feet from the stage, in front of Dean Deleo.
I really got a chance to watch what he does.
He uses some very interesting chord voicings, has a really "big" live sound, and his playing fills a lot of musical space. At times, he's playing melody lines with chords. The guy is a really good player.
He changed guitars for nearly every song, bringining out Les Pauls, Teles and a couple PRS hollowbodys with various tunings.
He gets a great classic rock crunch with chimey Vox clarity. Stage setup is very minimalist in appearance...with a couple small racks with VHT power amps, a Vox AC30, and a 4x12 Marshall cab, mic'd up.
Foot controller was hidden behind a monitor...but I could hear only a wah, boost, a touch of chorus at times, and a little delay.
I really like his style...and his live sound is spectacular.
Any other Dean Deleo fans want to chime in?
