I saw RT last Saturday in Boston - just superb.  The man gets more out of
one guitar than many entire bands!  He had Dave Mattacks com out and play
an encore.  Dave had a snare and a hi-hat, and the two of them filled the
sonic space completely.

There's something about his song Vincent Black Lightning '52 that
keeps building, and when he gets to one particular part ("I see angels
on Ariels with leather and chrome/Swooping down from heaven to carry 
me home") that resolves so beautifully and with such a crescendo that I
get a shiver down my spine every single time I hear it - and I've heard
it at least a hundred times!

There were many requests shouted out that evening, including Freebird.
"I don't know that one," he said.

A superb show.  Right, Jesse?
