What a performance by the trio and his rig sounds great even at this quality. I can only imagine what it sounded like live.

Yes, that first Blue Murder album live tour end '89 was fantastic; one of my preferred John Sykes era.

That tone, its thick and smooth and then that lead tone. Shit. That howl and crunch in Still of the Night. Breakdown has that haunting quality. Fuck.

A lot of people think Bob Rock got his tones on 87 and BM albums. Story is Sykes called in Bob to get his guitar tones on BM cuz he wasn't working on the project yet, but JS wanted his 87 tones to tape. True, but you can clearly hear he had those tones live.

Awesome show .. Kings X, warming up BM, warming up Billy Squire! Weird
