Thank you for noticing this, Mario. There are so many oploads on Youtube from these concerts now, some very bad and some very good, so when there are some good ones it's great when they are shared here on The Ledge.
Yes PG is really "present" in this one. Look at his face around 2:51. He seems really pleased with it himself, and he should be!
(He would probably never admit it).
I have been wondering about the band.... I remember reading an interview with either Cozy Powell or Neil Murrey from the "first" Splintergroup, where he said that PG was very vegetative and that this had consequenses for him (Powell or Murray)staying on in the band at the time. He also says that he has never worked with anyone like PG, who had this "blues sensibility"....
This Friendly Band seems attuned to him in a different way, so I wonder if he has changed and are able now to show more initiative in the working out the arrangements and so on?
