Thin Lizzy, Hellfest in France (www.VoodooAmps.com) Trace Davis annotates: If you want to hear what the Voodoo V-Rock sounds like in a live/band context (with all-custom Mercury Magnetics transformers). It features Richard Fortus of Thin Lizzy in front of 25,000 at Hellfest in France! The video is approximately 1 hour long and Richard is using a vintage Marshall 4x12 loaded with Heritage speakers. Note the Marshall half stack (on both sides of the stage) were not in use. Richard's tone is panned to the right. If you want to fast-forward to key times of tonal interest check out; 15:10 to 15:15, 24:40 to 26:30 and 48:20 to 50:00. If you have the time to watch it from front to back it's a KILLER set!!!
