Good call, but imo the video is far to grainy to pick out every piece of gear.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I really dig Dolby rockin' out on the 606 (that's not plugged into anything as far as I could tell.)
This is really really really lame. Fake everything.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to see this again ever since it first aired 21 years ago. Thanks for the link!
