Brats, beer, and blues-rock; the Chaz DiPaolo Band last night at The Well, Conifer, CO (with a "Deadhead Parking Only" sign by the front door!)
Standard power trio, influences seemed about 50/50 '70s UK & '80s Texas. They didn't suck, but they were......pedestrian. Nothing I hadn't heard before (and done better), but nothing I really minded hearing again outside over a beer on a lovely evening, ya know?
Bassist played a Bass VI; first time I've seen one in action. Drummer had a 4-piece kit with every drum a different color.
I did see one thing thta new to me. Chaz had the back cover off his Strat, and twice flipped it over and either (I couldn't tell which from the view I had) played with just his fretting hand or used a looper, while making like he was playing the springs for the whammy bar.
