Honestly, Seabean, I don't know the dates, but that would seem to fit...Seabean wrote:Great stuff jimi!
About that b+w pic above of Ed wearing the gaffer-tape moustache... I guess that was taken when they were rehearsing for the 79 tour? There's another pic from that set where DLR is wearing spandex. Here's a pic from that time in color:
I mean, how long did they need to rehearse? Could these pics have been taken in early Mar before the 3/25 tour opener at Fresno? That would date the franky getting painted red in Mar 79.
Aftertall, they came off the road from the '78 tour in December of that year and then supposedly hopped right back into the Sunset Studios to record VH II!
As far as the Franky going from this...

... I guarantee you disassembling it, taping it up, painting it red and slapping it back together was probably a one or at the most, two day affair!
