Damn this thread has gone straight to hell.

Sorry for bringing the links or the fat red round one up here at the army. I figured we all could use a good laugh.

It sounds very like the kind of thing he's been noodling around with before starting Ice Cream Man for the last 30 years.

Totally different style from Ed on acoustic.

I think it's probably Dave, too. He's been listening to that stuff for decades, and it seems simple enough - although there is skill in it as well.

One of the best live performances I've ever heard by VH - my favourite, probably - is 'Ice Cream Man' live in Greensboro '81. Dave was playing that spangled hollowbody, semi-acoustic on that tour (looks like a Gibson 335). In the long extended intro, with the rant against journalists, Dave plays some slow tasty lead lines. Very flat, but very bluesy - not a lot of vibrato, but if it was some old blues guy playing it who came out of the country blues tradition (rather than Chicago blues), you'd think it was prettty decent playing. Ed and the band are grinding away behind him.

It's the most awesome version of that tune ever. I'd love to see them do 'Stay Frosty', it could be awesome live and a nice change from ICM.

I know! There are 3 or 4 from this guy all in 1080 p. Another guy has another 3 tunes in the same resolution and obviously a nice camera. pretty soon I will have a complete DVD!

At the end of Jeff's Blood and Fire, that's me with the 15-second whistling, lol.

One of my favourite moments from either Jeff's or Brett's video in China Town is my "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH" right after the solo (pause in music) and ed and Wolf do their little jam.

Haven't seen this one yet. Good find. I was wondering if Dave was going to make it through without doing the Charlie Chaplin lookin' move that's in every other clip. There it is. At 3:03. That's the new split/kick.

[Romeo Delight]

Its the same guy who did the China Town clip...overall the most consistent recording. AND he has the whole show!

Be sure to click on 720p!

[Romeo Delight]

I'd say the sound on his clips best resemble what we heard down there. Kick ass!!!
