    Default Searching for early 80s live show recording- EVH had EXTREMELY clean live tone

    I heard the concert a few years back. I want to say it was somewhere in 1980-1983 era. Ed's sound is very clean, not very distorted at all. Like, noticeably cleaner than most other live recordings--almost as if he had to use different amps.

    Does anyone know which concert this is? I felt like I heard it on Youtube but my searches have not come up with the result. TIA
    How open-minded do I have to be before my brains start spilling out?

    Unfortunately that's not it. I think it was just audio w/o footage. Thank you for looking and replying, though!

    Maybe you could scroll through here and narrow it down? There are a LOT of boots from that period!

    The tour you're thinking of is the 82/83 Diver Dow tour . Eds tone was very clean

    You may think I`m being mean but I`m really just being sarcastic

    The Brazil show has a really clean tone.

    If you always search for bullshit on the Internet, all you ever read is bullshit
