Greg Liesz with Jackson Browne at Austin City Limits

Post by John Larson »

Greg never ceases to amaze not only covering territory by Sneaky Pete but David Lindley as well.

This is some great footage from a recent Jackson Browne show at Austin City Limits. (The camera worker does the revolutionary act of focusing on the steel during solos instead of the front man playing rhythm guitar).

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous; praise is meet for the upright. Give praise to the Lord with the harp, chant unto Him with the ten-stringed psaltery. Sing unto Him a new song, chant well unto Him with jubilation. For the word of the Lord is true, and all His works are in faithfulness. The Lord loveth mercy and judgement; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
- Psalm 33:1-5

Yessir, that's a nice update to Sneaky Pete's version. And David Lindley's, on "These Days." He's honored the feel of the original recordings... but still made them his own.

Watch this edit of the entire show... it doesn't cut off at the end of "Take it Easy" so you get that nice phasered interlude into "Our Lady of the Well" (without having to click on a link to get the continuation of the song).

Seeing this made me run out and buy an Oil Can phaser which is what he uses here. Love it. It's patterned on the earliest 70's Small Stone.
