  • @srvera I was Jean-Luc's Sound Roadie from Sept 77 to Nov 79. After about 200 shows I never saw him use anything stronger than a good red wine.

    @ gouge1lt As far as the delay JLP was using an "echoplex" when I first started working for him in 77. In 1978 we set hiom up with a pair of MXR digital delays which should be what he was using on this TV gig (I built and wired the actual rack that held that equipment).

    I hope that helps.

  • Simply the best...

    technique + originality + good taste

    Always to be found in JLP's work

  • @dragonreborn888 SO WELL PUT!

  • He basically reinvented the violin. :)

  • Zappa never used drugs, and he was beyond original

  • Inspiration for Laurie Anderson?

  • Yo Merv Griff...wow!

    Love this ditty.

  • This must be one of the first live and widely exposed examples of looping with a pedal for backing rhythms!

  • @dragonreborn888 jean-luc and his company couldn't play under the influence just for the simple fact of how complex his work was but being a musician myself, I can tell you when it comes to creating music.. marijuana opens your mind in ways you can't otherwise explain.

  • @srvera

    I guess it just bothers me. People confuse musical originality with drugs. I think drugs put people's souls in chains and drag them down.

  • @dragonreborn888 ,,,not necessary. It's not important.-thanks
