Had forgotten he is playing Edmonton tonight. I called the box office, and low and behold - 3 tickets left!
I'm going with my drummer.
Leaving now - will report back later!
I'm so STOKED! :drool

Whoa, that was awesome! He had Klon Centaur, a Snarling Dogs wah, HK Rotoshpere I think, more pedals I couldn't identify, a few Marshalls and his white Strats. It was strange that I didn't see any microphones on those Marshall 4x12 cabinets... hmm.
Killer stuff! I don't know how gets the tones he gets...
Does he use and autowah? Almost sounds like it, a lot of the time. Or perhaps it's just his incredible volume knob/whammy bar that's creating that effect?
I was sitting on the far left in comparison to the stage. It was a bit hard to see him at times - PA speakers covering the view. At the end, he walked over to the PA Speakers, and looked behind where I was sitting and said "cheers guys". I thought that was pretty cool.
His tone and playing - just amazing. I'm inspired for our Halloween gig on Saturday! :rockya

He uses the volume knob/whammy bar so smoothly and without effort, it is like breathing air.
The "cheers guys" shows how cool he is. Nice report!

Very cool. He is one of my favourites, without a doubt.
Glad you got to see him live, you lucky duck!:cool:

I've heard that his playing lately has moved up to the next level. Apparently he's been woodshedding at Dolphinstreet.com lately and it shows~
:dude
I've also heard he plays through a Pro Jr and the Marshalls are for show

I've also heard he has amazing veins.
Glad you got to see him Robert (said with extreme jealousy).

The Marshalls were turned on, but there were no cables going into the inputs on it, and no mikes on the cabs. Why where they there? I read on another forum it appears the amps he are really using a further back on the stage, behind another pair of 4x12s turned the opposite direction. Could not see these amps of course.
He had a great warmup act too - Tyler Bryant http://www.tylerbryantmusic.com/ very impressive young man! Hot player and you guys should check him out. He played for a bit during the encore with Jeff. Hot stuff!
Does anyone know the story behind his arm bands that looks like he put his arm through a can?

Tyler used to be an Ernie Ball Musicman endorsee. Now he's with Fender. You can find some of his old videos on You Tube and he played a Luke.

I thought he still uses a ring modulator...?

You may be right, I didn't see all his gear.
