"The Stumble" was one of the the only tunes Watson let Green perform in full, probably because no one can play it quite like him. BTW I have Long Grey Mare, but not Dance On.

That makes Nige sound proper sinister, iīm not sure that was case. I didīt really follow the splinter group that much because i didnt like nigel much performance wise.However i was very appreciative that he had managed to coax peter out of retirement and happy to know that he was playing again. I donīt think it was a sinister as that with nige in my opnion (well at least in the beginning)i feel like peter now wants to stand more on his own feet a bit more thats all, and nigel is surplus to requirements.
I noticed watching the vesion of the stumble from the hamster jam gig, a bit of facial blues snarl on Greenys face as he wrestled with his strat bending it to his will. Some proper nimbel finger work going down
. Also the playing with the house band for that tv show is an excellent sign of a musician feeling more confident with his ability. This is all very promising, i will try not to get too excited
