Listen/watch the Splinter Group versions of "Albatross". There's a certain lick Peter played in FM that is missing. With Mike Dodd's band, the lick is back in it's original form. The Splinter Group DVD version is a joke (clip from Youtube). Nigel Watson is doing all the heavy lifting while Peter looks like he's out to lunch. Green only adds background guitar licks to HIS song!!
I hate to overreach, but I think if Mick wanted that reunion for one night, it could happen today, compared to 2/09. You can see it in his eyes, he's alert!
