Surely you all have seen this one, but I hadn't. He does a (hmm...interesting???) solo of Wichita Lineman at the end.

It has a good view to show you how to do a nifty lead on that song.

I don't know about him, but for myself, any time I'm on stage I don't play a song the same way twice.

I never play it the same twice, even when I'm trying to.

Thanks for posting this Darkbar...am I the only one around here who got kind of choked up watching this video? What a solid performance with no accompaniment. I agree OMA, some cool little lead tidbits to be gleaned.

No, you're not the only one. It's a bit amazing to watch this, knowing that he will soon after succumb to Alzheimer's
