Yes! So true - it's remarkable, actually - I just listened to a live recording but wondered if it was dubbed because it was just so damn good 🔥

[@jwa718]

We have to remember the recorded version couldn't sound so great if its not present in the performer. The recording only captures what's actually happening albeit somewhat "pure" in that there's noting but voice and instruments to tape. If they suck live not much can really make it better and we still call it music.

[@bryannelson6139]

Bachman and Cummings, incredibly talented and sophisticated. These guys are not just rockers, they can do all kinds of music incredibly well.

[@garydreyer7478]

Excuse me while I whip out this flute, Man what a talent.

[@Araconox]

The story is that he and Randy were in a music store and saw a flute in the window. Burton ended up buying the flute and of all things played it for the first at a concert that evening, not having played the instrument at all before that. Sounds crazy but that is what happened!
