That video is AMAZING. I concur, thanks for posting it !!! I always trip how Steve Hunt and I are the same age, yet I will NEVER understand how he does it. It's beyond my comprehension. The solo lines that sounded nearly identical to the Synth Axe AND Allan's style. It was such a beautiful sentiment ; Carry On.
It's SO hard not seeing Allan there. Jimmy's solos NEVER EVER cease to amaze me. They are all unpredictable, and it makes me jump out of my seat every time, yell. "NO WAY" , rewind it and watch it again. And again. (admit it guys, I'm not the only one !) This is as close to hearing SAND 2 or PUD WUD 2 as I will ever get.
Of course, Gary's drums are as equally beautiful, melodic, tribal, and a complete mystery to me.
The question I always have to Jimmy and all the guys - Is it hard to play ? I would NEVER be able to play that if my life depended on it even if there was a gun to my head. Well, I'd be really nervous about the gun, so ya. But it sounds so perfect. Like it's been played a thousand times. I don't even know where the one is at some points. I just know it sounds wonderful to me like a gift from God made for me. It makes me emotional. I guess that's the goal...
