Great non pick guitarist. Just like Lindsey Buckingham. I just didn't think he had the body of work of the others. Quote

I've seen Bachman, Knopfler, Clapton and a host of other great guitarists over th eyears but I would have to say Kath is the most under-rated of them all. This guy was a maestro that went off in his own world on someof is solos. I love me some Randy Bachman though. I've seen him a number of times live and LOTs on the internet. He can sure play a variety of styles. Anyone mention Alvin Lee? 1 Quote

It was like he was born with it in his hand. Effortless, passionate, a true genius. Side note, I saw The Eagles live and at the end of the show, Joe Walsh threw a handful of picks into the crowd and I was lucky enough to catch one. Still have it and revere it with a big JW on it. Don't sleep on Kerry Livegren. It's like the music came from his heart, through his brain to his fingers. Seeing a couple of his solos live, my jaw dropped and I don't think I blinked during the entire solo. Just fantastic. Quote
Tondas Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Terry Kath. The insane part starts at 2:57. It's hard not to appreciate his talent. Notice his band mates. They look at him like the Sabres look at like Eichel. Do your thing Jack and we'll watch. And an under ratted vocalist. Edited April 3, 2020 by Tondas 1 Quote

That's probably why he wasn't as well noticed as Smokey Robinson. I met Smokey at the Desert Inn Golf Course in Las Vegas (that's when it still existed). He was so gracious. He signed my scorecard. I didn't want to take up his time or fawn over him, but It was like he was imposing on me more than I was imposing on him.. First class all the way. And he had the "it" factor. I must have looked like a deer in the headlights and I don't get that way for many people. He was one Just a great, great experience. Edited April 9, 2020 by Tondas Quote

FogBat Posted April 7, 2020 Report Posted April 7, 2020 I got into the mood to listen to this album. First listened to it in 1990. Looking back, these guys were way ahead of their time! Quote

It really limits my speaker placement. Quote
