quote out of an old interview:
So I did that in 1991(playing with Debby Harry). It was a great tour, because we were touring with Iggy Pop, Sisters of Mercy and Billy Idol sometimes. We did that thing with INXS at Wembley stadium. I got my dad down just so I could say

"I played Wembley dad, sorry it's not football but it's the best I could do."

And it'll probably come as no surprise that Karl made every show special on that tour with his boundless energy and general all round good vibes. From the moment the lights went up he was brilliant - and this is coming from a jaded old tour cynic

Here's another couple of pics I just found in the archives: http://www.flickr.com/photos/12614642@N00/

Having watched the Underneath the Radar videoclip, I can imagine how that would have looked like. Without the ponytail then
Keep digging in that archive dave!

Thank all you guys for sharing your knowledge and pics. I hope to get back into making music again soon myself and need to be schooled on what's the "in" gear. Does anyone know how Karl gets that gloriously rich guitar sound in Ess Gee? Looks like he plays mostly Les Pauls, but what else does he play through to get that warm, moist sound? Er... pardon the bad choice of words.

As we heave heard before, Kenton UK were working closely with Rick to solve some Problems by custom-built MIDI-Boxes.
Sonicestate just posted a nice pic and infos about Rick's main switching box that sits on top of the Midas desk, the other boxes and Karl's wireless Guitar-to-MIDI system. Quite interesting if you're into MIDI / sequencing:

I think I got confused because there were very nice pictures taken on stage of all equipment at the hungarian concert.

of course it's not about what "in" but about what suits your working method best. The've mentioned working with incredibly expensive microphones at Abbey Road, but at the same time, the vocals for Jal To Tokyo were recorded with a macbook's built-in mic. So it's hard to say what type of equipment they used for which particular sound. It's all about experimentation. Sometimes the oldest most broken down piece of gear may just give you "that" sound that you're after.
