What do you mean by loose? I always thought her style was quite tight.

It wasn't enough to just pound out the chords in rhythm- she would often throw in a bluesy lick or some kind of asynchronous arpeggio, e.g., the live piano breakdown during the "dreams unwind" part of "Rhiannon."

What is an asynchronous arpeggio?

Accordingly, if anything, the classic Mac live sound was a little sloppy and raw (of course the "marching powder" didn't help matters). She was very much an intuitive player than someone who just played the notes. Brett Tuggle is a capable musician, but his playing is robotic and bereft of feeling.

I'm not sure I agree with your estimation of Chris, but the trouble I have with (what I can hear of) Tuggle's playing is that he has no strong personality.
