From O Dia em que a Terra Parou (1977). O Dia em que a Terra Parou is the fifth solo studio album by the Brazilian musician Raul Seixas, released in 1977 by WEA. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Raul Seixas' other songs from O Dia em que a Terra Parou, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
