Don't be angry... an ironic guess: Greg Leisz?

I am clueless Joachim, he was kinda skinny wore glasses, prolly not as old as most of us lol, never got a good look at his guitar maybe a Carter S-10, he played Dobro on a second song also...Stormy

Storm, as you can imagine I couldn't watch it, maybe some here in Europe can, if they have the technology and the money to pay for it.

I did not recognize him. It was not Greg L.

Yep definitely a Willy, now for the picker...

Joachim Kettner · Post by **Joachim Kettner** » 7 Sep 2013 3:02 pm

At the first glance I thought he was BJ Cole, but it isn't him.

Barry Blackwood · Post by **Barry Blackwood** » 7 Sep 2013 4:45 pm

Here he is in case somebody else wants to take a guess. I have no clue who he is, but the Willy sounded great and his playing was tasty no matter how much the guitar player tried to upstage him..

Looks like David Mansfield.

If it's him, he's been playing for quite some time, he's logging into the Forum now and then I've noticed.
Here's a clip from the "Rolling Thunder Revue" mid- seventies:

Greg plays a Willy but I think it is a U-12. Last I heard he was out with Clapton.

Great song! Awful vocals and terrible production. Why do they not have a bass player? I did not get even the slightest inkling that the guitar player was trying to upstage the steel player.
In my opinion, if they could only allow for only five musicians, they should have opted for a bass player and forgone the steel. The guitar and bass are much more crucial to the song. It is just my opinion, but I am a steel player and I don't believe that steel guitar trumps all else. The music must come first.

My guess Dave, would be that they were figuring on the bass end on the piano to cover that.

I agree about the song and the vocals. As far as the bass player or lack of, who would have ever heard him on the tinny little speakers included in most flat panel tv's of the day, anyway. Regarding the guitar player, his gratuitous imitation of G.E. Smith was more evident on the second dong, "Easy for You to Say."

The woman that was singing, Rumer, had revitalised his song "P.F. Sloan" with her band. Maybe that's why she was invited to sing on the Duets album. There's another Brit, Justin Currie, on the record formerly of Del Amitri.
