Exciting news indeed. I agree with everyone about Pete playing the leads. When I first got the Splinter DVD, and that first lead in "Black Magic Woman" came along, and it was Nigel, I was majorly bummed-out to say the least.
Maybe just being up there with the guys around him that were there in Pete's prime will sort of bring a little something out of him that remains deep inside.
I certainly wouldn't be looking for a Boston Tea Party-esque lead solos, but just seeing 'ol Pete play it would be wonderful.
People would just love and appreciate his doing this so much, it just might be some of the best therapy he's ever had. I hope he does it - and I hope he really feels the good vibes from the fans.
Obviously Danny is not even a consideration. Has there been ANY news on his situation recently?
Welcome Joe (aka Pete's nephew). Please don't be a stranger.
