Fender Frontline live

NAMM '08

The Maestro was at the Dean Markley booth on Friday 19 @ 3pm signing and taking photo's. I next saw him at the Marshall booth just hanging out and talking with the Reps. that same day. On Saturday he was at the Roland booth to do a Solo performance and sign afterwards.

A few notes from the performance.

A very long line formed and the Roland Theatre might hold 100. There looked to be at least twice that in line.

He did a brief sound check with a pre-recorded track.

He had some cord problems with his effects pedals that were straightened out just before he went on.

At the end of Blue the track was stuck in a loop and Yngwie looked a bit perturbed that the sound man didn't turn it (the volume at least) off after a few hand signals from him. I heard the soundman say through the monitors (I was in the second row, center) that it was stuck. I also heard the soundman say (through the monitors) that April was having a problem with someone or something. Yngwie seemed to blow it off and went into Fugue as soon as the track started. Yngwie played well and was his usual energetic self.

His solo set lasted for about 25 minutes and was all to pre-recorded tracks which sounded great.

Here are pictures from Friday and Saturday.

Here we go! The Maestro Live! Being this close to his playing is as good as it gets!!

I was right in front as you can tell. His playing was great. The Backing track was good as well but the mix was not that good.

Yngwie was constantly messing with his amp/effects and was not happy with the sound through out the half hour set.

The sound enforcement guys were there at on point.

Hey this is the Master...let 'em play!

NAMM '10

Yngwie was at the Fender booth at 4 and the Seymour Duncan booth @ 5 on Saturday. Both lines were very long!

Let the signing begin!

Seymour Duncan

Relentless tour 2011

Yngwie was great per usual! Sounded great, looked great and of course played great! The venue was average at best and was not sold out...go figure. Arguably one the greatest guitarist to ever play and no sell out. Get a clue Denver!

Nice backing band of: Yngwie's steady Drummer Patrick Johansson, Singer Tim "Ripper" Owens, Bassist Bjorn Englen, and Keyboardist Nick Marino.

They played a great non stop set of about 2 hours, including an encore. Glad I was there...YNGWIE is the man!!

My 7th time seeing him!!

Photos from his Denver stop on his Relentless tour.

I arrived at 4:30 pm and was the first one in line. Yngwie did about an hour and a half sound check.

Which included 3 ACDC abbreviated songs (Hells Bells/Rock & Roll ain't Noise Pollution & one other)and several of his abbreviated songs.
