This is my first exposure to Joe Bonamassa! WOW! I'll be checking into his stuff for sure.

And, I love Weckl...maybe it's just me, but it didn't quite work. Maybe it's the grittiness of the music and the finesse of our man Weckl. The chemistry is just funny, though technically right there, imho.

I'm so glad that videos from this era exist. This is the era that Vinnie really left his impression on me. Sadly, today, if I see ANOTHER 7 Days video, it generally makes me sick!

Maybe someone from the UK can make it happen for us! C'mon you guys. I know you can do it!

For whatever reason, that version of Mad About You is still my favorite! This was Sting's best band and era, in my humble opinion!
