one thing jumped out: so the e-gtr solo in Sundown was played once and then duped to the later solo section rather than it being actually played? I don't listen to Sundown a lot (since it's radio single days and the first months I got the LP) but didn't even realize the solo was a note for note copy...I like the production on the Sundown album actually, not too raw (is there such a thing? ) and not too busy..and great harmony overlays, imo

here is a question that may deserve it's own thread: I don't think of the GL catalogue as one which has a bunch of instrumental solos within it...what songs stick out as songs that have the recognizable solo?

Baby Step Back, Sundown, AB...that sort of thing...my 2 cents: I do like the acoustic one in I'd Rather Press On

we've heard Rick take a live solo but will the day ever come where Barry let's loose?
