2/n A perhaps unusual tweet from me... Mavis Staples had some beautiful stage dresses.pic.twitter.com/rrlNwC6oSj
3/n My #UCRPBL004 #ethics students should know this guy now... That is, in this role, that is, not the "My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama" role. Cc: @seth_abrutynpic.twitter.com/z7AjAOQBZn
4/n Was distressed for a sec to see Katy Perry items exhibited (Warped Tour exhibit), but all good now... in Motown section... Rick James' Rickenbacker bass... Yes, Motown ties.pic.twitter.com/UYeNhMtyKT
5/n Things you almost overlook amidst other artefacts: a Stevie Nicks' dresspic.twitter.com/wHJXoEebmN
6/n Recognized this immediately... Johnny Ramone's guitarpic.twitter.com/rk8GfirTpb
7/n On to the Game Studios wall (Muscle Shoals sound)... The Spinners' attire. I want to lecture in this!pic.twitter.com/quJlPpeDIJ
8/n John Paul Jones' Alembic 8 string bass (think Achilles' Last Stand "gallop") really completes this outfit imo... Cc: @dbtindallpic.twitter.com/b0ZQH0AzRZ
9/n In the Instruments section where there is clearly a small crowd... Struck by how beat up J. Beck, Rory Gallagher, and Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitars are...pic.twitter.com/zD0D7qjHwq
10/n Alright! Praise and respect to the bassists who get their own section with a drum kit or two...pic.twitter.com/MoFnfjvmDi
12/n following earlier tweet comment about wear and tear on gear, Townsend's No. 6 Les Paul with it's smashed off headstock restored.pic.twitter.com/0AOqQSWZtT
13/n Great to see Tina Weymouth of Talking Heads get highlighted quite a bit in bass section. Here's a fave of mine... Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth: her mega bashed up bass... Next to Flea's.pic.twitter.com/vcqKeysNV3
14/n A-howhow... ZZ Top. Looking at those drums, Frank Beard was sure overcompensating for not having facial hair like Billy and Dusty...pic.twitter.com/RgFGsYj1MF
15/n More of The Who. Townsend's SG is an object of beauty...pic.twitter.com/5lwZuaUw6P
16/n Warren Zevon's handwritten lyrics. Love seeing these and the thought process at work. Note: no sign of cocaine residue, per his rep, but easy enough to imagine.pic.twitter.com/rcg62KJFsW
17/n Joe Walsh's Life's Been Good lyrics... Note the "Blah Blah Blah" at end... Kinda how I write article drafts...pic.twitter.com/kd6rJRk9z9
18/n God Only Knows lyrics... I could leave now content, but thread continues...pic.twitter.com/XgBfAf42L6
19/n "I don't need you to worry for me, 'cuz I'm alright". Billy Joel's writing process...pic.twitter.com/3QrEzuhlia
20/n Big fan of The Supremes but more appreciation after trying to imagine performing in these dresses night after night...pic.twitter.com/wMkKCc6BLp
21/n Bowie's glam era 12 string. I'd wear that top to work...pic.twitter.com/Pk7JUqLozh
22/n The Godfather of Soul! Attire designed to get down on the good foot. Didn't notice it at first with lighting, but midsection of outfit on left says "SEX" spelled out in jazzy beads.pic.twitter.com/0QOktl3Tdc
23/n Sly Stone's vest. Awesome up close. You're welcome, Sly fahlettin' you be yourself... Again.pic.twitter.com/sgWnykv8Mn
24/n The (original) Pretenders are a band that I long thought seeing old vids just came off on stage as the swaggeringest, coolest group of folks. Just oozed cool. Even just seeing their clothes now reinforces my thesis.pic.twitter.com/cqe7PZVVld
25/n What a treat... The Faces. Such a great, sadly forgotten act. Hard to imagine a young Rod Stewart in the outfit on the right, but cool! Kenny Jones (later of Who fame) jacket on left.pic.twitter.com/3rmpsTubpO
26/n John Lennon Nehru jacket. Reminds me of my Dad saying how functional they were compared to shirt, tie, and jacket. I can see that...pic.twitter.com/kDg3bZaWGw
27/n One thing you notice quickly is how short many "high stature" legends of the stage are... Case in point: Mick Jagger 1970 stage attire. I'm avg height and saying this. On same level as display.pic.twitter.com/Ypkmm9YiJQ
28/n Jimi Hendrix Strat... Sitting idle but you can almost feel a powerful bluesy goodness oozing out of it... Maybe the Hendrix music blasting in room helps with that feeling...?pic.twitter.com/GoMiMIPjmV
29/n Fun fact: Hendrix was a big football fan. Here's his drawings for Oregon, UCLA, and Berkeley...pic.twitter.com/VFY0aK2qY6
30/n Great to see a whole display honoring Cleveland (area) scene. The Raspberries, Joe Walsh, James Gang, Ben Orr of The Cars, Pete Ubu, The Dead Boys, and... DEVO!pic.twitter.com/IIEZveXt7f
31/n For the hard core prog fan: Rick Wakeman's travel case with Yes. It's rather big as you might imagine from his keyboard stage setup. Accented in display case by lots of cowbell (Beach Boys, RATM, Skynerd) and Bill Ward of Sabbath's cymbals. Cc: @phlupic.twitter.com/oMnIvv1x6H
