Topic: Davy Knowles & Back Door Slam, New Years Eve at the World Cafe....

I posted a complete review of the show that Nic Bongers and I took in on the Davy and BDS forum, but thought I'd at least share the pictures and videos I took of the show. They pretty much alone, tell the story. smile

Roy, Thanks for posting these.
It is rare to get this quality of vids from the front row like these.
Thanks for capturing these for us. Davey certainly looks like he is having a good time.
The new PRS is a beaut.
Davey has come a long ways in the year since he rocked the Waterfront Blues Fest in 2008.
It is almost scarry to think where he will be in 5 years.

Thanks for the compliment Ron! smile Honestly though, when you're capturing video with people like Davy or Joe, their mere presence makes for a great video. wink

As far as the "new" PRS, that depends which one you're talking about. Davy had a new, very special one when I saw him and BDS in Chicago in November. My understanding is that it came from Paul Reed Smith himself and the list price was out of this world. Here is a picture of that one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8384830@N0 … 997244113/ That guitar when played, is a MONSTER! cool


What I didn't realize until I watched the videos I took from the New Years show is that he's got another new one I hadn't seen before. It's a PRS Hollowbody which is shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA4NhGo7Ibc

All told, that brings his total now to 5 PRS guitars. I know he's very happy with his association with their company and has told me how much he appreciates them and the quality of their product. Which makes me feel better now seeing that the first electric guitar I purchased for my son was a PRS too. Although, no where near the same cost as the ones that Davy has.

I let Davy know that if he finds himself getting too many of them , that he could easily give me one. Actually, some time ago I let Joe know that about his guitars too, but I haven't received one yet. wink

Roy, That tiger stripe PRS is the $hit!
Love it, Love it, Love it.

When he played the 2008 Waterfront Blues Fest, he was rockin his powder blue Strat for the entire set. ( And upstaging Elvin Bishop during Davey's warm-up)

An amazing set indeed.

Thanks for the pics and even more vids.

Here's some more pictures from this great show. These were taken by Shari who was fortunate enough to be backstage with the guys. Shari not only took some pictures from side stage, but also roamed a bit during the night. Honestly, her pictures put mine to shame and really are quite stunning.

Something to note; on the pictures where it's midnight and everyone is yelling "Happy New Year", you can clearly see Nic in his red Isle of Man insignia shirt. He's just behind and to the left of the old man with the camera.
