O/T DUANE EDDY

[Arpeggio]

It's a very good track - but i believe that it was only ever available on a CD single (not sure about downloads etc).

It was indeed only available on the Richard Hawley CD single "Coles Corner"/"I'm Absolutely Hank Marvin" in about 2005.

The Independent has just carried a very positive review of the RFH concert in its October 7th issue. The reviewer, Pierre Perrone, mentions that two numbers were dropped from the set.

Duane is at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea tomorrow night (Saturday 9th) - maybe those two numbers will be restored - I'll let you know.

The review ends "Five decades on, Eddy is still twangin' up a storm"

I wonder if one of those dropped was Pepe.
Personally, I would rather hear that than one or two of the others included in the show.

Looking forward to seeing Duane again in York next Wednesday.

I'd like to have been able to see him in York but we are gigging - our drummer is a mate of Richard Hawley and is accompanying him to York - the plus side for us being that we get Dave Eyre back on drums for the night.

The set was the same - and I heard it twice. Once from the stage and the PA in front of me, and then, a fraction of a second later, from the echo off the back wall! This was my first visit to the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill and, from a chat with one of the FOH staff, it seems that as it's a Grade 1 listed building and there's not a lot they can do about changing the acoustics.

Anyone offer an opinion on Duane's version of "Peter Gunn" on this tour? Would love to fly in just for that lone number!

A few words about the concert at York last night.

Time to say goodbye to one of the guitars legends.
72 & still twangin'.

It took a little time to get going with Duane adjusting his tone & vol controls on the Gretsch during the first couple of numbers to get the sound right.
Then............ 3-30 Blues just about brought the house down !! you could see it in his face & the Richard Hawley band who were backing him as he traded licks with the very excellent sax player. Talk about nailing a tune !
The stories, the one liners, a man totally at ease with his music & surrounded by musicians who clearly adored him.
The twang of the Gretsch played through a pair of Fender Showmans with 2x15" cabs at times just left me in awe of what he can do with just his amps & what looked like a Boss eq pedal & a reverb pedal. No fancy floor boards with rows of pedals & effects here!.

Swapping guitars between a standard tuned Gretsch & a "F" tuned one & a Danno baritone guitar the time flew past.
Richad Hawley sang "Death row" as a tribute to Lee Hazelwood with Duane rattling the foundations of the theatre with his bass riffs with the Danno.

Vocals, with a pair of girl singers (Guitar man, Play me like you play your guitar) Tennessee waltz with Pete taking lead vocal & Richards 2 vocals.

Because they're Young, Rebel Rouser & as an encore the brilliant Hard Times with that young sax player blowing as if his life depended upon it to close the show to a standing ovation.

All the old Jamie hits were there mixed with a couple of the "vocal" numbers, was it really 52 years ago I bought "Some kind of Earthquake" & started a lifetime of "Twang"

An evening tinged with sadness as I walked away from the old Opera house last night. Is it really his last UK concert?

On a more cheerful note he confirmed that he is recording with Richard Hawley & hopefully not to long to wait to see the results of that.
