Enjoyed the interview. I remember when we were under the impression Second Set would be out later in 1992 but ended up coming out in 1995 with everything except the acoustic Liz Reed recorded in 1994 and you may not know this but those shows had already been aired on radio and radio broadcasts. Plus there was no new photography for the cover so it was a strange period for the band. And talk that Gregg and Dickey were ill tempered and drinking way too much. About 1993 Allen Woody said he hoped they could get another five years with the band before it broke up. 

First time I saw Warren play was in 1988 in Dickey's band he used Paul Reed Smith guitars. One silver and one kinda gold. Then with the ABB he had a tobacco burst Les Paul which he says here is a 59 reissue. Dickey always claimed the best Les Pauls are 1957to 1959. The Stratocaster with the red headstock Warren loved so much was stolen at one of the shows. I read Warren went to a lot of trouble searching music stores and pawn shops and following up on some leads and the guitar was NEVER found. Guitar stealing is like horse stealing back in the 1800's.  HANG 'UM!!! HANG 'UM HIGH!!!!

Here it is. The standout is the red headstock and the Eric Clapton electronics and pickups. 

If you see anything like this being played post it here and maybe Warren will finally get it back.
