Rick has excellent chops & a lot of soul, guitarists tell me, but over the nearly two years he was on the road with Mac, his playing never evolved. You can pick any live song on which he's prominent from the first few weeks of his tenure with the band, & then pick the same song toward the end of the last tour he did with the band, & you can't hear a difference in the extemporaneous aspect of the playing. It's uncanny! It's akin to listening to Stevie Nicks sing live these days. (Can anyone really tell the difference between a STAND BACK from 2005 & one from 2008?)

Sadly, yes. The 2005 version was better, Brett Tuggle gave it away.
