Five Owls by Canned Heat -- classic old school Blues performed by me.

http://www.fillmorepedal.com This is a song by Canned Heat from their classic 1968 album "Living the Blues" called "Five Owls". I always wanted to do a guitar arrangement of this instrumental when I got around to it ... so here it is.

I am playing the 1978 Electra Omega X210 guitar though The Fillmore pedal into a 1973 Peavey theClassic amplifier. Bass is a 1974 Ibanez Jazz Bass through a 1968 Sunn Coliseum amp. Both amps are mike from about 8 inches away.

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

Bill

hmm,awesome tone,,(i play bass)=now we know how Felix Papalardi got some of his grind,amazing!,all the solid state amps i've owned were too`clean' really,,unless you call`fartbox overdrive' tone(i guess?)i use pedals to find some grit,nothing wrong with solid state at all,but great tone IS great tone and you have that,,and great musicianship as well(high fives),anyway=good stuff!=peace man

@MrSteelhead2 For the bass I played it through The Fillmore Pedal which gives it that thick tone.

Thanks for listening brother. That is the 1968 Sunn Coliseum 880 head which is 320 watts RMS, 880 watts peak of solid state power. Sunn made plenty of tube amps but the Coliseum 880 is transistors and FET's. I have owned this since about 1977 or 1978. This is the same amp John Entwistle of The Who used during that time period.

wow hey good stuff!,i'm amazed with the bass tone(thinking Ampeg),but now that i'm typing i do recall=they built tube`colliseum' heads mostly with tubes as well as solid state(towards the end)(was looking at an SS Coliseeeum on eBay a month ago),this surely has to be tubes, correct?

anyway ya laid it down bro thank you(and keep up the good work;) made my day
