Yes a ring modulator on one track - And another Gretsch man as well
I don't think I've ever heard a ring modulator used before. Apart from the Daleks.
Great to hear that Brian Setzer still has 'it'.
Got to also credit the Techs as they had a whole backline set up in about 15 mins.
I have nothing to add to the comments on The Stray Cats. Great material, great performances, and great of-fashioned stagecraft and showmanship all round.It’s hugely to the credit of all three of them that they can still be The Stray Cats and not have it end up as Brian Setzer plus a couple of other blokes...
...and, while there, they bumped into Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp.
Saw the Stray Cats at Worthing Assembly Halls in 1989, when they were touring their "Blast Off" album.
Amazing band, and I was lucky to be right at the front soaking it all up (it was a standing audience, so no issues getting to the foot of the stage).
Not sure I'd want to go now though, too big a venue and too many people!
If I remember correctly Setzer smashed his orange guitar up at one gig in the 80's, threw bits of it in the audience and the roadies had to go and collect the bits from the audience members so it could be repaired!
I'd imagine that one is so much like Trigger's broom now that he just brings it out as a bit of nostalgia.
EDIT: Should have watched the video first, all the stories are in there!
