Space Pup Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I went to NYC Monday and saw Les Paul at the Iridium Jazz Club. The man puts on a good show for being 93 years old. We sat right in front of him, It's pretty humbling to see a living legend play up close like that. He used two LP Recording models w/ bigsby's, a black one during the first show and a gold top during the second show. His pedal board was right in front of me so I got a good look at it. All Boss pedals, Chromatic Tuner TU2 - Super Chorus CH1 - Digital Delay DD3 - Tremolo/ Pan PN2 - Digital Delay DD6 - Digital Reverb/ Delay RV3. If you are ever in NYC on a Monday night I highly recomend going to see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'm surprised he wasn't using an echoplex...... I love the Recording Lester, sold my '72 like an idiot, but had fish to fry back then...... Best to ya. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 That's great to hear. I get to NYC at least once a year but just never seem to find time to get to see the legend. I'll need to force myself next time. So what kind of tunes did he play? I hope he did a lot of instrumentals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Yeah, and I'm not posting it again. I saw him last July. Good times!! I love her. I told my fiancé that I'd leave her for this girl. The other guy in the trio. It's an '87 or '88. Steve Miller was there, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Excellent!! Where does he play? I'll be in Boston next month maybe I could do a side trip... Iridium Jazz Club. It's a couple blocks north of Times Square. $50 admission and you're forced to buy food. The two of us paid over $200 but it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Great stuff guys!!! How difficult is it to get tickets? Do you have to apply months in advance or anything? My wife is talking about a present of a trip to NY and I'd really love to go to the club. I heard he can get quite crusty..... Err......How Crusty?! Should I take along a TRC just in case he's in a good mood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is talking about a present of a trip to NY and I'd really love to go to the club. Err......How Crusty?! Should I take along a TRC just in case he's in a good mood? :P I got the tickets from Iridium's website. I ordered them just before christmas and had them in four days. If you go to see him keep this in mind. He has a 8:00pm and 10:00pm show, I actualy stayed for both. Depending on how he feels afterwadrs he comes out after the 10:00pm show sits down at one of the tables and will sign autographs. When I was there he must have signed at least eight guitars along with numerous photos, CDs, and other stuff. I got an LP pick guard signed.

pippy Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thanks very much for the info, Space Pup. I doubt the wife will let me take the guitar on a romantic holiday but Hope Springs Eternal...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Pup Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'm surprised he wasn't using an echoplex...... I remember reading somewhere the he used an echoplex too, I guess he did at one time. That's why I was surprised to see the two digital delays in his line up.
