Axe-Fx II Sighting

[FractalAudio]

I was flipping through the channels last night and on PBS was "Brit Floyd at Red Rocks". My wife suddenly says "Hey, I think he's using an Axe-Fx". Sure enough, the next time the camera panned we could see it in the rack.

Brit Floyd at Red Rocks - Was this a Pink Floyd tribute concert?

I just Google'd "Brit Floyd" for my own curiosity.

Brit Floyd "The World's Greatest Pink Floyd Show" - Red Rocks Amphitheatre - 8/2/2013

PBS usually has their shows streaming over the web after they air. I'll have to check this out.

That's awesome, but really... The Axe Fx is so ridiculously the perfect tool for a gig like that. I would be surprised to se anything else.

Now you just need to get one in to the hands of the man himself; Dave Gilmour.

Google search = no need for forums Lol I was obviously too lazy

No kidding. Admittedly I'm not the musical spring in any band when it comes to composing but I could play covers all day. So my first thought was "Wow... I could play covers of my favorite band(s) and land gigs like that?".

I saw these guys a couple of years ago and the lead guitar player was using a tiny Fender amp, maybe a Blues Jr or something that size.... and of course a huge pedal board. They were great and suprising funny with their banter.

Cheers, Mike

Excuse me for stating the obvious, but ................... what else would they use?

Oh I don't know.... Tube Driver, Rams Head Muff, CE-2 Chorus, Yamaha rotating speakers, Dyna-comp, several GE-7 EQ's, HiWatts, Bunch of Pete Cornish gear....... =)

Granted I found it was far easier (and saved me a ton of money) just buying the Axe rather than keep trying to chase Gilmour's various pedals over the years...

If I'm not mistaken, common sighting with the real U2 these days as well, no ?

 

[Randy4Guitars]

Cool,
I'd like to see Jeff Beck play an axe. He's a pretty cool guy and I think he can still show us a thing or two.

And, ahh, yeah. Okay. Did I post in the right thread?:geek

Goood Good

 

[MisterE]

I saw them a month ago in Ostend and he was definitely using an Axe-FX
Brilliant show BTW

 

[fflavor]

I saw that too. Wait, you have time for TV?!

 

[PsalmsFromTheAbyss]

You know, Zippo lighters have a list of all the movies or TV series in which a Zippo lighter was used. You can read it in their website. Maybe FAS could do something like that, but with notable Axe-fx users or bands.

I have .

Actually it was before the show with Tedge's Standard when his U2 tribute band, "Under a Blood Red Sky", played at Red Rocks a few years back. They were playing to a sold out crowd. Pretty cool.

Saw this exact concert. They really did an outstanding job. I've seen quite a few pink floyd cover bands, the Brit Floyd by far came closest to the real thing!!
