A few things amaze me about his rig.
- How he keeps track of it all and can step on the right thing at the right time is amazing.
- How long does it take to learn a new piece of gear and get it set up before feeling it's ready to gig with. (The SY-1000 and Helix are a couple that seem like they take a little extra time to get ready.)
- There are a lot of pedals that aren't on boards and wires that aren't harnessed together. How long does it take to set all of that up before a show?

It would be fun to watch a video of just Vernon's feet during a show.

"Striipped down" - love it! How the hell does he remember that lot let alone the full fat rig. Insane!!

I'm going to see Living Colour in Detroit tonight! \m/,
I'll have to see if I can get close enough to the stage to see what rig he has for this tour. Pix if I can get them.

As expected, they sounded great!
Vernon was ripping it up and Corey's voice was outstanding. He was hitting notes most guys wouldn't try hitting outside of the studio. They were tight.
Couldn't really get a better shot over the top of the monitors, but it's looking like he didn't bring the full NASA command center this tour.

Corey came into the crowd to sing for a bit. He was about 5' away.
Ken, the CEO of Reverend Guitars was there too, but disappeared into the crowd before I got to say hi.

Extreme was excellent as well. Nuno shreds and you'd think that they've been doing non-stop stadium tours for the last 20 years.

If they come your way, I'd recommend checking them out if you can.

Awesome thanks for the update and picture, makes me wish I could have been there as well

So he is feeding his floor mess into a a Laney pair of Half Stacks, Why ? So now we are micing things or he needs sound pressure etc. Lets GO!. . . We all want to know whats going on LIVE ! ! !

That looks like he wants a good 4X12 in his world. Everything else is a Michael Jordan Dance and Damn, I'm holed up, waiting and watching . . . Because THIS is where the Rubba meets the Road in BOSS Roland world. . .

So can I get a pre memo @ Roland Headquarters where they say . . . WTF? Just happened. . . And then they get DESTROYED upon US that say . . . . .
AND WE GO TO THE VGUITAR FORUM. . . Done !

My bass player found this image and sent it to me.
It looks like a Helix and SY-300 for the main units for this tour.
