Dweezil and the gang are making a special fall run of some very intimate venues. About 8 dates total. The "You Can't Fit On Stage Anymore" tour stops in two Canadian cities. Toronto at the Mod Club (about 250 capacity) and in Montreal at Le Gesu (capacity 400).
All attendees of these special concerts will be given a code that will allow them to download the entire concert at a later date. Concert goers will also be able to vote on the songs they would like to hear as well as have the chance to win a Hagstrom Super Swede that will be given away at every show. Tickets on sale now.

Yeah. his dad was a endorser of Hagstrom, and his son plays Swedes and Vikings .
Shame he's not coming here, I would go, and I have been eyeing another hag. :)

He must be keeping them stacked away somewhere. All I have ever seen him play is a Gibson SG.

I would love to see that show. I saw his dad Frank play here in London 4 times and then once in Detroit. I would be really interested to hear how it sounds now. I have read alot of great reviews.

Dweezil is a endorsed artist for Hagstrom, may be recent. They have been running ads in the latest mags. Hagstrom is more than likely a sponsor of those 2 concerts, since they are giving away 600 dollar guitars.
Super Swede is very nice, beautiful flame job on those. Who ever wins them will be very lucky.

I went to see Dweez last year in TO and was blown away at his guitar work. I had no idea he was that good.

I would love to see it, but the tickets are $115 and $145 - that's a lot of coin.

Sure, but if I knew I wouldn't be sleeping on the couch for a month I'd gladly spend the 2000$ it would cost me just to get there.

Fabulous show last night. About 2 hrs 45 minutes. Great set list and sound was great. Can't wait to download the recording.

Do they have a taper's section or are they releasing board mixes?

Not sure what the process was. I am assuming it's a board mix.

I saw Zappa does Zappa a couple of years ago, mainly because Steve Vai was the "special guest".
Gotta say, i was completely blown away by Dweezil's chops..... and Terry Bozzio's drum-kit :smile:

Don't miss their DVD, produced by Fogolabs in Montreal (the show's from Portland, OR), great playing, great sound and editing and awesome music (including Bozzio and Vai). I really like it because the vibes player is a highlight for me and he was hidden by the Bozzio drumstore when I saw them at the Metropolis, here in mtl.
They even have a cam on Dweezil's neck and the best shots are him and Vai dueling as seen from behind the nut on the SG:rockon2:sdsre
