F$#king dang blasted sound crew!  I can't even hear myself play.  I'll just 
turn up a little here...   Meanwhile the sound crew is trying valiantly to 
sort it all out, right?  <grin>

Couldn't see his butt in that shot.  Did catch a nice glimpse of it later, 
though.  Also, a great shot of Pete's bellybutton.  But you're just trying 
to distract me from the subject at hand, aren't you?  :)

I'm no expert on how this goes together, but seems to me the harmonica is 
syncopated around what John plays.  I'll have to go listen to it a few more 
times and see if I can figure it out.  I'm sure Roger is waiting for them to 
get organized, though.  He holds that note the second time.

No, and it looked like Pete was about as loud as he could get, too.  Awful 
sound.

Hear, hear!!

Pete trashes lyrics and makes up new ones wholesale.  What's one line?
