Hey

It just hit me, do you think Greg will bring back out the extra Guitar? He used to play one on stage in the early 80s.

I hope so.

Also on "praise ye the Lord"... I don't know how good his guitar chops are, but it helps the image!

What he played in the intro of Chameleon impressed me a bit anyway. And you can hear that his guitar comes in in angel of light at times as well I think. But on the praise ye the Lord clip, I can't hear his guitar at all.

On that second clip, he doesn't have a pick through most of the song. Watch carefully: first he checks his pockets, then he tries to signal to a stage hand to bring him one by holding up his hand with thumb and forefinger pressed together, and finally around the 1:35 mark, he walks over and grabs one off of Hartman's mic stand. That's the main reason, I think, why you can't hear him playing. He's trying to strumb with his thumb, or is just faking it until then, and when he finally does get a pick, there's almost nothing left to play because the song is pretty much over.

I happen to think it's a pretty funny concert blooper.

...or they just didn't include his guitar when mixing the album. I never play with a pick. I have built in picks. They are called nails. I don't play piano with gloves either.

IIRC Greg wax not on par with Bob and his playing was a filler and not ever recorded.

That may be true, but from the clip, it's clear that Greg prefers a pick.
