get me this dvd show please.. Setzer using an EH memory man echo!

pardon the cross post but I think you will dig this if you are a setzer gear fiend like me

finally got footage of setzer using an electro harmonix memory man (not sure if its the memory man or deluxe memory man, if its the later its modified in the clock to be able to have a short slapback) plus he is running into the bass channel of the 63 blonde bassman. (the pedal is in full view at 2:15)

Which also leads me to believe his amp tech (Billy?) had the treble bleed off cap in the bass channel clipped out which restores that channel to a functioning guitar channel with ripping upper mids and an extra gain stage that the normal channel doesnt.

this is awesome as it helps me understand how the early stray cats live sound was still very aggressive like Setzer's 68 comeback special tone with the RE301 punching the normal channel of the bassman (or dirty boogie album for that matter)

In anycase in discussing with Brian briefly about earlier stray cats era delay and his use of a pink/purple delay pedal that "was not ibanez", I'd concluded that it was most often the Boss analog delay but here we see the use of the EH pedal instead. This could have just been a loaner as he is seen in rockpalast euro shows running his bassman head through a Vox AC30 extension cab.

enjoy... this video captures what made me go crazy for the Stray Cats as I'd been gigging the old elvis and chuck berry standards until this band showed up and blew my mind. they were wild and raw, full of rebel spirit!

Tavo,
you can download that video by using an online converter such as Zamzar.com

I need to check this in my files but I'd say I don't have this one

I dont want the song, I want the entire concert.. this show is an epic example of what
made us rockabilly musicians go insane back then.. My father thought I was nuts when
I started playing with only a vest and a bandana on.. then he wanted to beat my ass for
using eyeliner I'll blame Billy Idol too.

There's no full show, just two or three songs if I am correct, somewhere in Holland back in 1981
