Rig Rundown: Circles Around the Sun
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 08. 2024
- Founded by the late Neal Casal, this instrumental band of sonic explorers was born out of a request for set-break music during the Grateful Dead’s final run of shows in San Francisco and Chicago during 2015. Originally, CATS was going to be a one-off project, but fan feedback pushed Casal and company to release it as Interludes for the Dead. This wasn’t simply wordless Dead covers, but new creations formed in essence and spirt of the Dead.
In 2018, the group released their second double album, Let it Wander, and followed it up with a completely improvised EP featuring drummer Joe Russo. Sadly, a week after tracking their self-titled album Casal took his own life. Casal urged the group to carry on without him. The group recruited Eric Krasno and Scott Metzger for various tours before settling in with John Lee Shannon in July of 2021. Shortly before a gig at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, John Bohlinger caught up with Shannon and bassist Dan Horne to talk gear.

I have never heard of this band. But I am 13 minutes into the video and already a huge fan of the guitar player.
Nice. Once you dig into CATS, you won’t be the same again.
Is because you have good musical taste that's happened to me with Robin Trower ( I always heard Blackmore , Malmsteen all the CBS fender stratocaster guitar players because the sound is different of the 50s and 60s era the intro was like Robin Trower " Bridge of Sighs " .

Take some mushrooms and then listen to them. It’s so beautiful
Right? Seems like a cool, knowledgeable, humble, skilled player. Old-school …
🍀🍀 ⚡️⚡️ SHANNON
POWER !! ⚡️⚡️🍀🍀
Great guitarist. Stepped in nicely for the departed Neal Casal.
I had no idea that CATS was moving forward after Neal's death. I can't wait to hear what they're doing!
Never heard of this band but started listening to them on Spotify and damn they’re good
Love this band!!! They are amazing.
#foreverneal #byglove
I was listening to a lot of Eric Krasno when I came across Circles Around the Sun featuring Eric in a live setting. I was cruising in my car back from Asheville, enjoying every minute of that ride thanks to this band. Super cool rig rundown and even an Uncle Larry reference. Gotta love it.
Thats what it is about classic tone these guys have it, clean tone, 70's style vibe tone this was good rundown thanks John.
Great stuff John. Also I very much appreciate the sensitive and thoughtful description. Thanks!
FINALLY !! Thank you !!! They are my favorite band!!!!
Anyone that references Jeff Beck, in any capacity, is ok with me... Thanks for another cool run down, John... cheers!
Happy 2022, Mr. Bollinger
You cracked me up @ 19:50
Damn that rig sounds so damn good!
That's an awesome bass rig...! I just love the Alembic and the aluminum cap speakers.
By the way, the Alembic preamp is based on a Dual Showman preamp section.
Those NYXL strings are great. I used the old XLs for a million years. The NY version feel a bit stiffer. The main thing is they last a long time before they oxidize, like 3 or 4 times longer imo. Good for guitars you don't play much.
Awesome great music playing guitar 🎸
Incredible guitarist - check out his acoustic solo album
I gotta hear all about that MiniMoog staring at us the wholetime. like a part 2 of Adam's Let's Hear It interview
That Alembic bass sounds awesome
he sounds great
What's the name of that wah? It has a nice vocal sweep.
It's a Jam pedals Wahcko
That amp sounds great
Dream Amp , that Sunn.
How are the cabs hooked up? Old style banana plugs? Neutrik? And three drivers-what's the load? A single Crown amp? Mono bridged? The signal chain from the FX-1 to the amp to the cabs would have been a pretty basic question.
I wish Fender would reissue a hard tail strat...
Never heard of this band. Saw the rundown and thought “hmm it seems a little Dead’ish; Maybe i should check out the music?”
And wow totally cool. Nice control of sounds from keyboard to guitar and bass. Badass drummer : awsome groove and i really like his choice to not play fills all the time.
Spot on about the Dead! The original Circles lineup did the break music played between sets at the Fare Thee Well shows in 2015. Check out the release of that music Interludes for the Dead
Another well known A list band.... great work PG
Rumble Seat in Ithica NY too
I think they closed years ago. Used to be in Ithaca and Carmel, CA, but moved to Nashville.
just a comment about the daddario XS ad at the beginning. I thought these strings were great, because they sound really crisp, like elixir optiwebs,and they are very strong, I have never broken one(I usually break elixirs very occasionally). BUT the wound strings E,A and D do not sound good for very long at all. They won't break but they do not have the long life sound factor of elixir opti,nano or poly. They only sound good for the time that a standard daddario wound string does.So now I am using elixirs again because they are the same price.So says I
I've played elixir for over a decade and have only broken one e string while tuning up and down more frequently than one should. I love them on guitar and bass. I didn't like the nyxl or anything not elixir for that matter and I've tried everyone's coated strings.
That Alembic reminds me of John Entwistle's bass
The thumbnail made me think Rick Beato was interviewing Weird Al for a second.
Elixir strings are my bag. Been using them over 10 years and I've broken one string, a .010, and it was mostly my fault (tuning up and down, up and down ☺).
Sun amp, those are the ones Jimi used to blow up.
Shout out uncle Larry
Maybe paradigm strings or similar can lower the risk of breaking one?
"No Truss Rod"? Good catch John Bollinger
Uncle Larry REPRESENT!!
no keyboards?
He is definitely breaking a string they just cursed this
Tiny Tim’s lost son
From the thumbnail I thought this was a Weird AL rig rundown. 🤣
5:54 everybody immediately dials up Craigslist in Nashville
Who else thought the thumbnail pic was Weird Al Yankovic holding a guitar?
Also no second string tree ! Rather have a headstock truss rod adjust than heel . But 4 bolt better than 3.
Anyone know what Brand of Pedalboard John is using?
I thought is was weird al in the thumbnail
His speaking voice sounds just like Dick Cavett!
Don’t leave out the super beetle 🤓🎸🎸🎸
I saw the thumbnail and got very excited for the Weird Al rig rundown...
I love Weird Al. "Just...eat it...eat it...if it gets cold reheat it...."
That thumbnail had me believing it was.
I thought the same thing too! Lol
Strange looking accordion he has there! Lol
Nice to see Weird Al Yankovic has a new side project.
LOL! Thought the same!
First guy is wearing the same shoes my grandpa wore!
Who else thought this was Weird Al?
Purple? The flanger is PINK! 😁
Wow adding in ads for folks who pay for CZcams premium to not have ads is super lame.
That's youtube. Install adblocker. No more ads.
@@Les537 It’s embedded in the actual video, not playing an ad, then the video.
I can’t get enough of the weird Al jokes? Actually…
