I thought we could put everything to do with it here.
First photos. Amazing. I'm not going to speculate...if JB wishes to chime in with the gory details...then excellent. Old skool!

First pic is VERY Yngiwe. Cool!
Second reminds me of the Jimmy Page backline a bit minus a full stack on the end.
A couple of Marshall Super PA's…very nice.
Those are great photos. Man would I love to plug into something like that one time. A couple big power chords on that might even cause some of my hair to grow back.
And a third version:
Should this not be Joe's new old rig?
Greenbacks?
Well, its end of day one... The rig sounds great... All vintage Marshall amps and a Freidman Dirty Shirley 100.. It is the first one made in a 100 watt format. The speakers are all 25 watt green backs... It is much simpler than my old 4 head switching rig.. All cabinets are active but only two heads are on.. Tomorrow we button up the cabling and make the final decisions..

Cool can't wait to hear it.
Cheers Ron
Wow, that looks really cool.

Very Cool rig !! Is the pedalboard on the second picture going to be joe's board for this rig or is it going to be downsized/simplified? Also what are those two small box plexi's? Jtm45's, Jtm 50's or maybe 1987's?
Very nice! Love the old school 
Friedman are superb amps.
I'd have one immediately if I lived in America.
I will be buying some Celestion stock…I see a lot of blown Greenbacks in your future!

You could see a possible return of the indestructible but tone-worthy EVM-12L's if the Greenbacks prove a hassle!

Joe's made it clear. EVM-12L's only. He still remembers the stink of burnt voice coils. 
Greenbacks?
Maybe the roadies are complaining of the weight.. If you go vintage, you gotta be true to form I guess. Either them or g12-65s would be another good choice. ..I think so at least.
Why the change ? No silver jubs??
I am thinking of changing my rig , am using a Budda sd80 with 2x12 Ev12ls but its too much power for little pubs ,/clubs I can't get it past 3 on the volume !
I need tone at low lower volumes!! And the ev12ls only sound good at arena volumes!
Am looking at the yjm head any good??
What greenbacks sound good?
