NGD: Tokai LS75 Love Rock Goldtop

Posted on June 6, 2011 by tastychops

Tokai Goldtop
I was lucky enough to pick this mint condition early 2000′s Tokai LS75 from a very friendly AGGH forum member. Basically a killer Les Paul Goldtop clone for $700 spondoolies. The pickups are P90′s by Australian pickup wizard, Mick Brierly. Took it out for rehearsals over the weekend and it was perfectly grouchy sounding. Makes a great sidekick to the Tokai ES130 I raved about earlier.

Mark Knopfler “Brothers in Arms”

Posted on June 7, 2010 by tastychops

Knopfler playing Brothers in Arms at Montserrat in ‘97.  The classic Knopfler touch and the ‘59 Les Paul doesn’t hurt either. The outro solo from about 5:37 is superb.

Daniel Lanois with Trixie Whitley, Brian Blade and Daryl Johnson in the studio rehearsing Ring the Alarm from their upcoming release as Black Dub. Not the normal tastychops fare here but hey its Lanois and Brian Blade – this is music. Great jams towards the end.

Eric Johnson and Oz Noy “Schizophrenic”

Posted on November 19, 2009 by tastychops

The Oz Noy Trio with special guest Eric Johnson playing Schizophrenic live at Saxon Pub Austin, Texas. Great groove and flying by the seat of the pants type stuff. Oz Noy is one cat that is pushing things out there.
