Hey Dweezil, when you get to III you should consider broadening it a touch to the tour as well, as it was pretty great, with old Dave songs alongside Sammy songs. It was the closest there's ever been to a full catalog live performance from the band. I saw the last rehearsal and first two gigs -Ed was sober and playing great, and did this very cool 'Close Encounters' quote during his solo with a sustainer that i ripped off and played onstage for years. Even cooler was watching Ed noodle on a piano with wolf alongside in a hotel bar after the gig -just improvising, more Jarrett or Stravinsky than anything we heard him do on record. Sadly it was before smartphones...
While I’m (not so) patiently waiting for the next episode I’m going back and listening to the entire collection again…probably my 4th time through. I love listening to them and getting something different from them each time. These episodes give me a much needed EVH fix.
I just discovered VHIII last year. I never really listened to it, because some friends of mine said it wasn't worth my time, and that it sucked. In the last year I listened to it a ton. While it's very raw sounding, there are a lot of gems on it, like the slide solo in "Ballot Or The Bullet" is insane!! Also Eddie's command of feedback around this time is amazing! I always think that Hendrix tried to control feedback and Edward learned to control it and make it musical.

Any updates on the Balance episode? Working on 3 months since the last one? Thanks

Nice to hear some love for "Ballot Or The Bullet". It sounds like Michael Anthony doing the high harmonies but can anyone confirm?
Hi Dweezil…I haven't been on here for a while...I’ve enjoyed everything so far, including the recent Satch episodes. Thanks!
What's the latest word on the 'Brown Sound' episode, and the Fractal, Kemper presets/profiles??? Thanks in advance for an update.
…A reply from Dweezil to my question is all I’m looking for. Thanks anyway, Jeff G.
