Dave Smith Instruments shared this awesome photo of Roger Linn, Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim, left to right, flying in style.
The three electronic music gear legends were photographed on their way to GearFest 2015 on Sweetwater’s private jet. The trio are special guests at the event and will be featured in a Saturday ‘Synth Icons’ panel.
The event is being held Friday, June 12-13 at the Sweetwater campus, 5501 US Hwy 30 W, Fort Wayne, Indiana. The GearFest ’15 schedule of events is available online.
OMG thought I’d died and was in heaven there for a second!!
please dont put these gurus all on the same plane
Wise words
Totally, one of them needs to be at the bunker. Another at an undisclosed safe-house. Last one, can fly freely as they wish.
That was my first thought! 🙂
“The day the music died”
Sequencial Oberlinn?
… Sweetwater has a private jet ????
Yeah, apparently I’ve got to stop giving them so much of my money!
Probably more than one! http://www.sweetaviation.com/
Sweetwater has a sweet ride for these VIPs of electronic music!
Is Sweetwater a money laundering operation or something? I didn’t realize they made enough $$$ to spend on private jets.
They’re the one big music retailer that seems to have their act together.
Also, when you get to be their size and you’re in Fort Wayne, having your own planes is probably a necessity.
“Ok you three we’ve brought you together to FIX the Tempest! “
Its fixed. It won’t make music for you.
At first I thought: “Tempest sells well!”, but it’s Sweetwater’s private jet…huge amount of money in music business , not for musicians though, and not for gear makers…fly me to the Moog !
If ANYBODY in the M.I. industry is making enough to have a private jet, we should all be celebrating.
Straight ballin.
Sweetwater has their own private jet?
I guess they’re raking in the Benjamins.
Cool!
Bosses
Wouldn’t it be great to see Bob sitting there with them? Ah… maybe he is.
Hes there in spirit making sure they get there safely :>
They were all totally awesome!!! Great event! Yes, they shouldn’t fly together, they are all irreplaceable. It was so great meeting them. They are the only true synth makers on the planet!!!
Now that’s the way pioneers should be treated.
