From Two for the Show (1976). Two for the Show is the second album by Canadian rock band Trooper, released in 1976. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Trooper's other songs from Two for the Show, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
