Rodgers & Setzer go hunting.....

Hi folks, I was just watching this clip again and thought I'd post it incase it had slipped by a few radars on here.
It's Paul Rodgers & Brian performing The Hunter, absolutely smoking!!

It does make me wish during that period Paul & Brian had made a full album of some kind together, oh well...

Great Song. Paul's got a brilliant voice. Brian's playing is really cool. What guitar is he using? Going by the inlays, it looks like some sort of Western motif.

Great find!!
Paul Rogers IMO has the greatest voice in rock!

The guitar looks like a Chet Atkins 6120

Great clip!

For those keeping track, that performance was recorded on
7 April, 1993 on "Late Night with David Letterman" in NYC.

One month later (19 May, 1993) Setzer was a special guest on 4 songs
during Paul Rodgers show at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.

Thanks for the link!

Cool, thanks for the info man!
I'd been wondering if the 'Late Night' performance was earlier than the San Francisco show.
Cheers.

Yeah great clip. I never saw it. Man there must be many more unseen videos around the world.
Who's the bass player? (he's shown in my avator's original size)

Never have seen it before, loved it!!! Passing it on to friends. Thanks!

That Gretsch is intersting, it doesn't look vintage mayube one of the first repros from the early nientis? It's weird becasue it has the G brand and the bi inlays like the 197 6120 but it doesn't sport the dynasonics klike a 57 typically oud? maybe he swapped them out for the filtertrons? i seem to recall reading somewhere before the t.v. jones craze Setzer was using duncan antiquities. I looked into a pair amd they weren't cheap!

I think the backline was arranged by the TV-Station and Setzer Managment told them before what is necessary. I don`t think it was original Setzer Equipment.

The Bass Player is Will Lee, the regular Late Show Bassist.

Probably right, Setzer's playing through what looks like a silver face Fender Twin rather than his usual Bassman.
You can also see him move to stomp on an pedal, (Tube Screamer?) just before he starts his solo.

Another thing that puzzles me about the guitar is all the hardware is gold plated including the Bigsby, this is generally only found on the Falcons to my knowledge...
