It's awesome that you guys are putting in your favorite videos here, too - for some reason YouTube's indexing for searching fails at least once per day... nobody knows all of the videos yet. Thanks so much for bringing Blue Train and other cool clips out, for our entertainment!

Here are some cool pictures from Milan. They are by Giovanni Albanese.

Elevating the art of guitar...


An uncommon shot of the full band.


First we saw back to back blues, now there's back to back rock!


Heads are gonna roll...


Paul: Yeah! Tony: Oh dear.

Anybody else seen this video?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN40LMi0_xA

I couldnt find a dino-posting aboot it so my best guess is it's not been posted before...

Does this mean live album chance?

Hmmm! That's Really Interesting! Sounds good!
If He used it the whole tour with a brand new Laptop......
I'd say he's deff going to do something with that!

AWESOME find, yet again, Diego!! *joy*

There is no dino-post about it because...
I had not hunted today. (swamped with work)
The video was posted today.
That is why I had not found it.

This shouldn't really be a surprise though; Pierre published a week ago and I front-paged it on my blog!
Either read, or listen to, Paul's newest interview at La Chaine Guitare. You will find the answer in there. :)

Maybe a more detailed version is buried in this other interview (on my hard drive ATM), too, but I haven't gotten up the nerve to finish listening to it. I know the question in that interview is much more specific (we wanted to know the model #, because it's possibly crucial to getting an amazing live sound. Regardless if Paul answered: it's revealed in Diego's amazing video find! *so happy*)

sounds awesome! anyone know the song at 2:15?

Paul Gilbert & Freddie Nelson - United States - I'm Not Addicted

LOL Ace cracks me up!! They actually brought the giant analog rackmount thing and used it at least one club... either in Sofia or Vilnius. I don't remember ATM so I'll have to check the pictures.

So that's what Paul was using the House of Blues pro-shot video for.
What I want to know now is... is this an endorsement video? Is Paul an endorser of PreSonus now or is this just some cool, random promo video that PreSonus put up?

Dunno about the random tapping segment @2:15. It's very upbeat and rockin', so my first guess based on the set list and mood is - I'm Not Addicted. I'm queuing up a video ATM to see if I'm right... I'm probably wrong and it's an improv in one of his covers or something. If I'm wrong, there's your daily laugh! :) Don't make me get United States out and listen to it, because I'll complain for the rest of the night like you Racer X fans complain! (You know: Record a new album or *something*!)

edit: Hah! I was right. And you can see the Jeff-snare-cam on the monitor in front of Paul in this sample vid:

I sure hope so! Want those memories forever

A live album would be amazing. On the other side I think that musicians should record what they play in order to improve, so I would record all my shows and if I could get good takes to make an album it would be much better

I want a live album/live bluray combo!

Happy New Year everyone! :)

Here is KotoGirlJP's blog. It's in Japanese. Besides the blog entry w/awesome pics for Paul's Batschkapp show (URL provided) - check out her Italian vacation (Roman Ruins) entries - they're fascinating.

When I say "good quality video" as below - this is an example.

On an ofisharabootreggu: A live recording would be great - if it's audio that's cool, if it's audio and video, all the better.
I'm weird and would prefer a hardcopy, as opposed to watching a bunch of YouTube videos. I would probably buy it.

I love the YouTube stuff but there are always problems with lag, or audio compression, or overall quality, and there's always that nagging doubt: will the owner of the videos delete them? Will the label come along one day and say "Paul, you gave them permission, but we're over-riding you and having all your footage deleted." It's still pretty rare to find good quality video - by that I mean you can freeze-frame it and it's clear enough to look like a digital picture - that also has great audio. With an actual release, most if not all of those problems are solved.

Seeing the tour through your eyes (the fans who got to go!) is a real treat... I *adored* watching the videos and I'm still enjoying hunting for reviews, pictures, and more videos! Now, then to see it through the band's perspective too - with either raw or cleaned-up recordings, backstage footage, whatever - would be "the ultimate."

Here's the awesome and long-awaited endcap to the year, the tour, and the thread...

So cool that it's all handwritten, too.

Hilarious stuff. Except the band equipment hostage situation! Why the bleep would the BUS DRIVER want to keep the band's equipment?! *befuddled* That is so geigh.

Oh, sorta OT, Emi put up some entries on her blog w/pics, and they're really cool. Check 'em out!

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

So Paul's equipment is gone?

LET'S CHECK EBAY!

seriously, if this is real, this sucks...

I don't think you guys are getting Paul's humour too well there
