I do think he catches a rough ride sometimes, though. I read a recent concert review (from Phoenix, I think, of all places) where they said someone had yelled 'Hi, Stevie!' at him from the crowd. LB apparently just kind of sneered and repeated 'Hi, Stevie....' and then said 'No, no, we all love Stevie very much, don't we?'

I mean, that's just a nightmare, dealing with that kind of thing. He's playing these small venues, getting close to the fans, trying to give people a really vivid live experience of his musicianship, and people are so smartass rude. I felt sorry for him and thought he did just about as well as he could with that.
If you watch the video, he did not "sneer" and he was very genuine in his comments about Stevie. He was actually in good spirits and handled the situation with humor. The person who wrote that review put a total negative spin on it and it just wasn't there.
