I was at his Glasgow gig. Very impressive, not just for the playing but for the simple fact that he looked astonishingly vital for his age and roamed the stage energetically for 2 hours.
He seemed to have 2 Marshall stacks (no mics on them) and another stack (I didn't see a name on it), which was miced up. Behind his Marshalls were 2 more cabs, one of which had 2 mics on it. No idea what was going on with them all in terms of what we were hearing out front - maybe somebody else knows.
He used 3 pedals: a distortion, a rotary of some sort and (I think) a Flanger. He used he distortion a lot but the other 2 sparingly. He also had a foot-shaped wah-style pedal...but never touched it.
A little table by the drums held his slide and some talc (although, oddly, he got a roadie to toss him some talc from the wings).
Tuning stayed very stable (a wee tweak at the start of "Day in the Life", that's all) despite the whammy work and his tone was very clear.
Tal sat down a few times in Glasgow, too, by the by.
Anyway, it was a treat to see and hear JB play: his control over the guitar is really quite something!
