StephenR with Stu Allen & Mars Hotel Berkeley

[hieronymous]

I made it for part of 2nd set! The Modulus sounded great!

I will admit, I misread the original post as '68 and was wondering how the Modulus was appropriate. Then during the show they played Estimated Prophet so I went to my email and finally figured out it was '88 and the Modulus made sense!

And here are a few pics I took of Stu Allen & Mars Hotel 7/26/18:

The rest of the band - including the new guitar?



I should add, the place was packed!

Hey Harry, thanks for the pics and comments! Hoping next time I get to actually say hi in person. Another fun night at the Ashkenaz. Always amazed at how many people turn out week after week to see Stu. Last night was his 287th weekly gig at the club. He ended up playing his "Robin" custom guitar last night. His new "Rosebud" replica was in the shop being set up, looking forward to hearing it soon. Maybe 8/4 when CRYPTICAL plays at a private party down on the pennisula?

Good to see another Barefaced user playing the Dead.

Hey Dave, notice you are in the UK, probably not as many Barefaced owners here in the States but I bet we have way more Dead tribute bands... lol. So far very happy with my new cabinets, loud, light, clear and musical sounding with earthshaking lows. The cabinets are so light that they almost feel like toys but once you crank em up they are able to produce devastating volume levels if needed.

Yep, my Super Twin and Super Compact sound like that. I'll be using the Super Twin and my Epic bass with the Grateful Dudes at a festival in Kent next weekend. You're right, not many Dead tribute bands over here, and now many gigs for us to share out, but we get some good audiences when we do play.
