There is a DVD available from Pioneer Artists of band "Little Feat" (featuring Lowell George on guitar) playing a live televised gig in Germany in 1977. It is called:
Rockpalast Live: Little Feat
The second guitar player in Little Feat is Paul Barrere. 70% of the time he is playing a Music Man Sabre guitar through a Music Man 210 (probably an HD model). He occasionally switches off to a Fender Stratocaster through the same amp.
You get glimpses of the amp every so often all through the DVD. There is a commentary track you can turn on and Paul comments that he "succumbed" to commercialism by playing that Music Man guitar because Leo Fender gave it to him (presumably with the amp).
He says he didn't like the sound of the Music Man guitar as much as his Fender Stratocaster (even though he plays it more for this televised concert!) but he fails to mention the amp at all!
Just one more bit of Music Man trivia. If you have any video sightings of Music Man amps, let us know! The only other ones that spring to mind from my own collection are a couple of Johnny Winter videos where his immaculate pair of Music Man 410HD amps are always quite visible!
