@surrealIdeal my bias towards jimmie lee vaughan aside towards the name of the band...i'm sure we agree that this harp playing by Kim Wilson is epic!!! gets my feet a tappin,face a smiling,and eyes full of tears of joy.One of the most impressive displays of a master of an instrument i ever have experienced!!!

@dkitty8124 they are not the same without Vaughan, yet this band still has the same identity. and you may disagree. But the 't-birds' is just a name; call it the kim wilson band if you choose, however, only the band can change their name.

@surrealIdeal jimmie vaughan is not replaced,not in spirit and soul to the music,call it the t-birds if you choose but i've seen them with and without jimmie,it's not the same

[surrealIdeal]

@dkitty8124 Jimmie Vaughan left the band in 1989. he was replaced, that's all.

Sounds more like a astatic JT30 with a shure element

[dkitty8124]

this not the t-birds...it's the kim wilson band...the birds had one guitar named jimmie vaughan

Just back from seeing them at Dingwalls in Camden. Simply amazing.

@bluesmandoc you ant kidding! annoying....annoying!

[bluesmandoc]

How annoying was that weird chick at the end? Kim was gracious enough to hold her hand for a few seconds but that apparently wasn't enough for the weirdo. She had to stand there, looking pathetic, and reaching out for more. Some people have no pride or sense of decorum.

The shell is an Astatic JT-30. There might be a different element in it tho ...
