Oops..

Forgot you rother question.. I've never seen Dwight Yoakum play, so I don't know how large of a show he normally plays with.. I'm sure he usually rents a massive light show and maybe video screen behind the drummer etc, but he had nothing.. stage was bare, except for drums and amps.. I'm guessing he was in-between larger shows in Dallas and just had our venue supply a small PA so he didn't have to drag the whole show with him.. but, for crying out loud, then don't charge full price for tickets..

The weird thing was the guitar amps.. He played an acoustic guitar all night and had one other guitarist.. he also had a "utility" guy who played steel guitar, keyboards, mandolin etc.. BUT there were, I believe, 10 small guitar amps on stage.. all mic'd, all on etc.. but two guitarists, at most..

Some people would use different amps to get different sounds, but his sound and the other guitarist's sound never changed all night.. No idea why they had that many SMALL amps onstage.. metal bands will have STACKS of large amps - most are fake amps - just to look cool and massive, but these were little bitty amps, so no idea what they were all for..
