Philip Sayce in London

Posted on May 17, 2010 by tastychops

Philip Sayce playing to a small crowd at the 100 Club in London just last week. Great SRV-ish playing and killer strat tone. When he’s not tearing down some slow blues Philip plays sideman to Melissa Etheridge.

Seems like quite a few of the audience members were armed with cams – lots of great vids popping up.

Jeff Beck “Stratus”

Posted on May 12, 2010 by tastychops

Jeff Beck at the New Orleans Jazz Fest last week. The track is Stratus. Word on the street is that all that tone is being pumped out via the little green Fender Pro Junior (cooked up with a Klon) on top of the Marshall quad. If you gots it you gots it.

Ry Cooder “Dark End of the Street”

Posted on May 10, 2010 by tastychops

Was at a friend’s place on Saturday night who put the awesome Paris, Texas movie soundtrack on while we were sitting by the fire. Had to come back and find me some more Ry. Here is the inimitable Ry Cooder playing Dark End of the Street in 1977 on the BBC’s Old Grey Whistle Test. Superb slide, sublime strat etc etc
