Anyone, but esp. musicians and Teckies on List:  I have always thought the 
reason the guitars on this recording sound like Foghat is because for that 
particular show their rented amps were dramatically different than what they

usually used (or/and were turned-up[?] differently).

>From Keith's and Philip's comments can it be inferred that the unusual
guitar tone 
was also the result of the mixing?
(To me, 'mixing' has always just meant setting the volume of the individual
instruments.) 

So, why do their guitars sound so different from normal, and was it a
deliberate 
Television decision, and why was this the only time they ever did this?
(Ms. Sadi Ranson-Polizzotti, are you listening?)
