again, hard to complain BUT i think the producer/editor just couldn't get enough of Gord's face (and lips, lol) OR must have thought those solos and licks were coming from Rick's bass or Gord's fretboard...it's mindnumbing as to what could have been

we do get one small victory when they show Red's work (without being blocked by Gord's hands or guitar neck) for 20 glorious seconds during For Lovin' Me


if I were to play one clip for a newbie, I would play the For Lovin' Me/Did She Mention My Name one...the trio are top form and the producer is on his game


no slight to Rick but i'd have liked to see this angle for about 50% of the show

ahhh, the Yellow Bird has risen from the ashes....
