andy of uk - i wish i could tell you what problems you're having with quicktime, but there is obviously something pretty wrong if you still can't see or hear it if you have plenty of bandwidth. does *all* quicktime not work properly for you (ie, try watching other streaming - not download- stuff from www.apple.com/quicktime/)? if so, you may have something basic that can be fixed and you can work with apple support on (or search google for other users who've solved similar problems). fwiw, i've had reports from people with pretty old computers and slow connections who still haven't had any problems tuning in/

"JBLAZE" FOR KEEPER OF JOE'S GUITARS!!!

Ha! No crabcakes lately. I had shrimp tonight. Yum!

thegoose, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Schiacciatore, UP IN THE SKY is a great song!!!

And I would LOVE to have a Joe theme for my computer!!!

Tapper5 - On board vs remote effects. Well first i'll say for effects, i'm the last guy to use them. No delay, not even reverb.

For distortion though, I sometimes use a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone. That pedal can blow or rock and it all depends on the amp characteristics.

For instance, through Fenders, the pedal is crap. Clean, crsip sounding amps just come off as sharp and thrashy.

For a nice tone with a Metal Zone, get a warmer sounding amp like a Marshall. It can even do more modest distortions. For a more modest distortion type with a Metal Zone, overdrive the level on the pedal and take the distortion level down.

Hey Joe...

Gr8 show last night! Hope tonight's show @ Jones Beach is even better. When's the East Coast "Evening with..." shows begin? ;^)

L8r... John

Gr8 to meet all the listers (JR, Matt, TJ, E)

wow just got back from Jones Beach. It was really a special night, I think all 3 acts pulled out all the stops and put on a great show for the fans. The thing I love about Jones Beach, is that the sound is always great there, and of course the great outdoor atmosphere. I was a bit surprised that a number of seats very empty tonight, but I think the poor wheather drove more than a few away.

Kings X: They only did about 30 minutes. They were very good. They really opened up the show well. I love Dougs voice, and Ty's very tasteful guitar playing.

SATCH:What can anyone say more than WOW. I was at G3 at the Beacon last year, and this show was even better. I think it was even better because the sound was better, and I dig the new material. "Midnight" was really amazing, I never heard it before, but its really amazing.

DT:I think the majority of the crowd really came to see them. The crowd really came alive when the band came on stage. I saw them in March, and for almost the same reasons this was better. The sound is much better in this bigger venue, and I liked what they did with the setlist. A couple of hightlights: Doug coming out and singing with James on Lines in the Sand, "The Spirit Carries On" is always a great live tune as well as "Pull Me Under" and "Solitary Shell". Oh of course the best was when Joe came out and jammed with the band at the end. It doesn't get better than two of my favorite acts playing a Rush tune like "working man"..

hey everyone. thanks for the audio webcast webmaster i stil get dropouts but cheers for listenin to the fans.i think my cpu is just a big pile of stinken crap!

Good morning all...

I have a question for any guitar tech's out there.....I'm replacing the stock humbucker in a Squier Fat Strat for a friend of mine, with an old PRS humbucker I've had for 10 years. I have the wiring diagram where it shows the placement of the black and white wires, but the PRS has a red wire also. What is the function of the red wire and what do I solder it to?

Kinger: First Satch Experience - anyone remember that Speed Of Light is in the movie - Super Mario Brothers - this scene where they are sliding down a vent. way cool in a daggy kinda way. I bought the soundtrack!
