Yeah, I've got that DVD, first time I saw her was from that show! There are some clips around of that tour playing the Clapton Guitar god's show in Chicago where she really tears it up on "Ended as Lovers" and "Big Block", with Jeff just egging her on to let the bass monster out, and the 27K plus audience just ate it up, worth the watch. I hope that he continues to use her for touring, as well as Vinnie C. d.

A good match for Jeff, and Vinny C. on drums. >> He's been amazingly gracious with her, letting her play HIS solo's on >> "Ended as Lovers", >> which sounds kinda horrible until you see/hear her play. > >Now we know what the upper 'waist' on a bass is really for ! Yeah, I know, I was trying to be polite, plus not a complete perv as I have a daughter the same age... But Tal is a looker! d.

Can't remember the exact show, think it was the Concert for Bang the Desk, he sang on a couple of tunes, and better than some of the "Pro's" on that bill.. d. |
