So I'm flipping channels near the end of the blowout in NE and find this. I saw Zakk sitting with an acoustic and thought "this might be cool". Yeah....well...not what I hoped. He had it running with some light gain and, of course, a wah, which was rarely turned off. The song list was fine, some blues stuff, closed with Mississippi Queen, but man does he play a lot of notes. I think he'd give BB King a seizure. It's like the man whose only tool is a hammer, every problem must be a nail. The songs were essentially setups for him to solo over and they were all pretty much forgettable. So, while a little different, unless you're a Zakk fan you can pass.

On a side note Anton Fig was the drummer and on fire. In fact the band was terrific.
 
Good thing it wasn't electric. I've played the Iridium and it's a tiny room. I can imagine a full dose of Zakk in that joint.
