No. It was just he, his guitar and a few pedals. I recall him stating at one point, "I'm Andy Summers, and this (pointing to TD equipment behind him) is my equipment." It got quite a few laughs at the time.
I met him a few years later and had to remind him that he opened for TD in '88, to which he replied: "Oh, yeah. Those guys were weird."
Hi Beaubourg,
I am a big Andy Summers fan ! I always wanted to know how it was when he toured with TD. Do he play with them ? Frienship was developped between Edgar and Andy ?
I don't know what he meant when he said that TD was "weird" because he is, also, a weird guy (in a funny way). He don't take himself to seriously. Very deadpan sense of humour. By the way, his last studio effort was good "Earth & Sky". The tracks "Above the world" and "Earth & Sky" are great rock/jazz fusion.
Summers didn't play with TD. I very much doubt that he and Edgar had any contact after the tour, but of course only Edgar and Summers know.
I have the soundtrack album Down And Out In Beverly Hills (1986) by Summers, and it's not good. I guess he released better albums though. I even think my countryman Øystein Sevåg mixed an album for him in the early 90s.
