ok, i know this was mentioned before, but last night at the show, dave switched guitars halfway through three different songs. i was waaaaaay back in the nosebleeds, but it didnt look or sound like he broke a string. has anyone noticed this yet?

yeah a string being broken wont be picked up by his pickup, and thats probally is what happened he does it from time to time, if you tell us what song it was that might help.

He has been breaking strings like crazy on this tour....far more than a comparable number of shows during the last tour.

When I read that I had this mental image of Dave holding up a hand written note that said, "Grey Street, I need my 12-string." Then I realized what you meant.

if i recall correctly...
tuesday night he switched the first time during rhyme and reason and then switched again only two songs later during warehouse. the third and final time he switched during jimi thing, i believe. and last night he switched only once during drive in, drive out. it could be strings breaking, but if thats the case, its happening FAR more often than ive ever seen. come to think of it, i dont know if ive ever seen dave switch guitars mid-song.

also, whats with them playin an abbreviated version of grey street? i still love the song, but its kinda like his blue ballin us... any thoughts and/or opinions on this?

does he have a different guitar tech? maybe there's someone else helping the tech. you'd think he'd get tired of it by now though.
