My ears are still ringing because the vocals were really loud. Band sounded great though, Tony Franklin on bass. I haven't really followed KWS or anything but on last year's Hendrix tribute tour he blew everyone else away, including Satch. Last night he had 2 Fender combos and 3 strats and a lot of pedals that I couldn't see. He seems to have a lot of gain considering he's using all Fender gear, well it's all strat but his leads have plenty of sustain and gain.

That style he plays can get boring to me but they managed to keep it interesting. I think his singer is really good though, he sounds like a big black dude but he looks like a miniature Dave Grohl. :lol: :LOL: Overall a good show. Yes, I know who Bonamassa and Gales are, but I didn't see them last night so I'm not talking about them now. :D Damm one-uppers. :D

I dig KWS, did he have his jimi monterey strat? I want one so bad!
 
Im not reallt familiar with KWS besides the fact he loves fender guitars and amps. You recommend any songs?

:rock: Sounds like you had a good time!!, Always a KWS fan, any chance you had a closer gear shot?amps?pedals? Last time I saw a KWS pedal board pic it probably did not have 4 pedals on it.
 
I saw KWS a couple of months back and it was indeed a great show.Even though the band was playing at a fairly small club,they were very loud.My ears were ringing for about three days.
