      That’s a strange thing to post.
      I’ve been following Eric’s career since the early 80s and never seen him drunk or high, or heard anything from other people about Eric being into drugs or even alcohol. This guy is stone cold sober all the time.
      Thanks for the bullshit comment though.

    I saw Eric several years ago at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. Small club. Wife and I had seats right at the foot of the stage. Terrific show. At the end of the show I jumped up and held a Fender Strat trem spring cover and marking pen out to Eric (I was the only one to do so). He looked at me and turned to go. Then he suddenly paused and came back and gave me his autograph and thanked me for coming to the show.

    I have some footage from this show... I should find some time and post that; though the phone doesn't do justice to how much he NAILED the tone on the record for this show. I found myself just enjoying more than recording. My wife got a picture of me and the guy behind me with looks of utter amazement on our faces- watching it played so flawlessly after all these years was frankly unexpected. I've seen EJ a lot of times over the years but this was far and away my favorite show. It was uncanny to see it live (Nashville) because he did literally play the track list all the way thru, with some other songs in a bit of a warm up set. Amazing.

    His pedal board is also a mess but I'm not surprised to see him using an old gear. He knows what works and he sticks with it.

    Wow, to see the old boards and such, it's a complete bravery test. I went from the Steve Vai rundown which his tech is OCD over perfection, new reliable everything, which is cool. Then you come here and some of those cords looks like they were jacked from some back country phone switchbank from the 50's. I just love it all.

    I never have owned an Eric Johnson album but every time I watch a video of him he has the best tone ever. Having said that, I think he is very brave to take (except for the Belle Epochs and Two Rock head) very old equipment on the road. I wouldn't do it. There's too much new stuff that sounds great and is easier to replace. That's just me, though. Never question the equipment decisions of someone who sounds that good. Too bad he doesn't play in this video.

      Whats the point in having gear that sounds great but gets hoarded at home? A Plexi Marshall is a few grand...Ita not like he's going around with the hope diamond

    I'm intimidated just WATCHING Eric Johnson talk. I can't even imagine actually interviewing him. I would feel like I need to know all about the circuitry of 9 volt batteries to even begin the conversation. LOL!

    It was almost a Tap moment when the venue for Eric's mountain of tone is revealed as some kind of wine'n'napkin dinner event.

    i noticed something the interviewer didnt :) on the pedal board most of the inputs were not plugged because Eric is using 9v batteries to power those FX... I love this man .. High Landrons is my favorite studio tune Trail of Tears at Austin limits 1988 is the most epic Eric Johnson Live... gives me chills every time i hear it

    Love those vintage handmade patch cables. Also, looks like he's using batteries on the pedals. I would think that's uncommon for a touring pro. Must be for the purity of the tone.

    I was going to say " this guy needs an axe fx", but then it would be like most modern rig run downs! Good to see such old gear get put to good use instead of thrown to curb.

    Love Eric J. but the interviewer did not work for me. He interrupted Eric during the amps where Eric had to repeat himself to finish his thought. Did you catch it?
