TJed Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I've been trying to compile a definitive list of the various stage set-ups that DSO employs to create/re-create their shows. i.e. how many drummers, how many mikes for singing, what side of the stage Rob Baracco is on and what keyboards he has, etc, etc. Here's my first draft, with a few errors and I think I'm confusing stage left and stage right and the exact years: Original Setlist shows: 2 drummers, 3-4 mikes, Baracco on stage left with the electric keyboard and organ 80s-90s: 2 drummers, 2 mikes, Baracco on stage left with the keyboard and organ 75-79: 2 drummers, 3 mikes, Baraccco on stage left with just the electric keyboards 72-74: 1 drummer, 3 mikes, where's Baracco and what's he playing? 60s: 2 drummers, 3 mikes (one for Phil?) and where's Baracco and what's he playing? Has anyone out there compiled this list? Bonus points for which guitar Eaton plays and which speaker set-up is used! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted October 15, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I'd love to help, but usually I'm doing good to even see the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted October 16, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Don't forget that in April '82 Jerry and Phil traded sides; presumably so would Kevin/Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted October 16, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I saw a DSO show several years ago that Scott had keyboards set up on stage right. When asked about it he replied that it was a very rare stage arangement. I think it was really because it was a very small stage and no where else to set his B3. I'm not sure but that might have been in Nashville. Peace and Love, Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgrmag2564 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have often wondered about this, thanks for the enlightenment. I can usually get the era by looking at the stage arrangement. I used to really look forward to early 70's, probably because they played an early 70's the first time I saw them. Lately, I only give it a quick glance, because all the shows I have been to are smokin' and it doesn't matter what era it is!!!! Peace, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJed Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Great, thanks! Wondering also where the rest of the band is positioned (i.e. Jeff, Rob Eaton, Kevin and Lisa)??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
