The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band - What Goes Around Comes Around

The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band at Knuckleheads Saloon in Kansas City, Missouri on February 5th, 2010 performing "What Goes Around Comes Around".

This is my first experiment in uploading a video in HD. Shot with a Canon XH-A1, a Canon HF200 and a piece of crap by Sanyo that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Edited with Edius.

I've never heard a guitar make those kind of sounds. These guys are great. I really dig the energy level. Over the top.

You have to see them live. They play more than 250 dates a year.

About the Rev's tone - no pedals, no effects, no nothing. His three guitars go through a selector footswitch, then to an amp. Actually, two amps - one Fender guitar amp (behind the Rev) ,and one bass amp (behind Breezy).

All the rest is produced by technique. I've heard him sitting around in a living room just playing acoustically, and get the same sound.

Yo bigdamnfan, what tuning is the Rev in?

[bigdamnfan]

@WhiskeyBent420 Not sure.

I just checked the full video I have of Rev teaching at a school, and (at the time) the wood bodied National was open D, the metal National was open G and the Gibson was standard tuning.

I think he sticks with those three tunings - or at least I've never seen him spend any time re-tuning for a song in any of the dozens of times I've seen the Big Damn Band.

He carries those three and one backup flat-top and has no guitar roadie.

[WhiskeyBent420]

Thanks dude. I figured it was open D, although I'm just starting out playing blues and look to the Rev as major inspiration. I've got open G on lock from playing banjo, but I'm yet to try out anything else...I don't think many people truly appreciate how unique his style is. Can't wait to see 'em in Arkansas in June, Ozarks born and bred.

@WhiskeyBent420 When you see them, plan to hang around after. Rev, Breezy and Aaron are great, friendly folks, and I've never known the Rev to not want to talk guitar with other players. They're bringing this style of Blues to a generation that has never heard it before. Enjoy!

this guy is inspiring

[bigdamnfan]

@bigdamnfan I just checked, and the planned date for the next record is May 25th.

@Amras0407 They have a new CD already recorded that will be available (hopefully) in time for their Warped Tour dates.

Check my videos - I have a couple of songs that were new.

[Amras0407]

Is this a new song by them? I heard it live a few weekends ago, but it's not been on a cd. I really like it.
