Has anybody ever heard the James Gang Live CD featuring Joe Walsh? This is the same tour I saw him on live back in the 70's, and is my all-time favorite Les Paul/Marshall tone. It's a very overdriven tone with a lot of midrange and plenty of bottom.....almost a "honky" type tone. He played everything on the bridge pickup and when he backed off for some sweet blues leads it was incredible! It almost had a violin-type singing tone to it....like hearing the wood of the instrument. I would like to know what kind of pickups you think would approach this sound. If you haven't heard the CD, you could download the song medley "Stop/You're Gonna Need Me" from a file sharing program by the James gang. (or "Lost Woman")
I have heard many guitar greats live including Hendrix, Page, Blackmore, Leslie West, Pete Townsend, Billy Gibbons, etc. but Walsh with the James Gang was by far the best. I hope someone can help me with this.
