How long has RT been playing that (fiesta?) red Strat?


No red strats mentioned at all on beesweb. Sunburst and blue only, plus the usual Ferringtons.

In the end there wasn't too much beer quaffed at £4.50 for a crappy plastic bottle of Carlsberg!

Excellent gig though and fantastic to hear 'Vincent' live at last.

Yes, an excellent gig, the band are really tight. Anyone else notice Maart Alcock in the bar?

Yes I also notice Maart.

Good gig. One thing my mate pointed out is that most other acts whose professional career stretches back to the late 60s would be playing material predominantly from early in their careers, whereas I think last night he only played one song that was pre-80s (For Shame of Doing Wrong, Hey Joe excepted) and the biggest cheer of the night was for Vincent from 1992 (ish). Testament to RTs continued relevance and consistently high quality songwriting. I think Wall of Death was the best version I've ever heard. And Michael Jerome is such a good drummer, a joy to watch.

I've also put this in the Radio Times thread - but the latest issue of said esteemed organ has details of the RT programme on BBC4 on Friday 22nd March - RT trio, with contributions from Kami T, Pete Zorn and Dave Swarbrick!  Grin

Hey all,

This is a longshot as I know there aren't too many members in this neck of the woods, but is anyone catching the RT Trio on May 7th in Solana Beach, California?

None of my friends have heard of him so I couldn't get anyone to tag along  Undecided It would be great to meet up with someone from this community though.

Sorry, Gene,  I'm 1,000 miles away. However, I think there are multiple Festival Tours veterans in your area. You might ask to join the Festival Tours International Facebook group and then ask around there.

Thanks for the tip!  Do you mind pointing me in the right direction as far as the Festival Tours group goes?  I can't seem to find it on Facebook.  What do I search for?

On that note, I'm seeing RT and company, with Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell, this Friday (March 29th) in Bethesda, MD.  Anyone else going?
