Hey Scott. I just made a post in events & announcements about the show. I didn't see your post here first. Anyway, thanks for the kind words. That actually wasn't our best. Everyone was having a bad night when that was taped (in Atlanta). For instance, during my lead ride in Rebel CHild, a breaker kicked and the entire stage right lost power. It just so happened to kick on the one so it sounded like we just vamped the last half of my ride. Most folks (except musicians) will never notice. Maybe folks will enjoy it anyway.
Lee, I think there were enough closeups of the boss to please you....check it out if you can.

Gaylon:

Great show. I commented to my wife that Gretchen is as country as you get now days. I really liked the "real" country songs in which you were right out front with the sound. I actually watched most of the show twice just to hear you again. Even the "rock'n" stuff was great. Everything from jazz, blue grass to real country.

Great job and congratulations for landing a great gig. I wish I would have recorded it so I could steal a couple of the licks you had.

The tone was great and I was impressed with the Rains steel.

Thanks for responding about the effects tray on my other thread. I have already emailed them and used your name.

Ken, Gaylon does have a great gig. I have had the great fortune of meeting most of the other guys in the band as well and they are all great people and great musicians. It makes me consider what I would give to make good music with a great group of guys like that.
