greg allman on "house of blues"

[bpb@bpbsn.cca.rockwell.com (Brad Baker)]

i watched greg allman and co on "house of blues" the other night on
the tube. located behind his b3 was a goff 122. it appeared to be
raised up about a half a meter or so and was placed about one meter
behind him and arranged in the stock position, that is, the back was
pointed toward the rear of the stage and not toward the
enem^h^h^h^haudience. i was curious about this rather non-traditional
placement - no mics were visible to the front (though the back could
have been mic'd). he was apparently using the leslie itself for his
stage sound.

this the sort of arrangement i seem to prefer though, when the thing
really gets cranked up it's too close without ear protection. does
anyone (al) know if mr. allman uses this arrangement typically or was
this done just for the tv presentation?
