It's always bothered me how the iconic guitar gods (and you know who they are) can't touch these truly great players. Fame and fortune is truly Evil !!

when a guy can tell you a joke in a guitar solo, he's an achievement in himself. I'm a big fan of Josh Smith as well. I admire everything about this guy, he's my reference for tone setup.

Wtf, pure brilliance!

[@7775Kevin]

Josh Smith is so good that to see him take a break and just smile at what Greg is playing is priceless. Such fantastic players. The drums and keyboards are equally great. Would have liked to have been there that night. I would have been smiling through the whole thing.

Greg Koch is a freaking guitar god!! Love his country chicken picking blues/rock fusion style. So precise, really makes the guitar sing. John 5 is another God! He elevates the country shred genre to dizzying heights.

[@lescaster2179]

Some awesome, unpredictable improv kicking in around 4:22. Everyone is having a good time, Josh is enjoying the gristlemaster's random cover lick diversions, ends up just letting him just run around the yard for a minute, then it settles into some more traditional, awesome call and response -- but still with some tasty outside elements tossed in. Fittingly, it winds down in true sasquatchian random fashion with some more unexpected cover licks tossed into the mix. Really entertaining and unpredictably delicious playing all around. For any working pro, I'm sure Greg is a delight to play with, but also a little bit scary - but in a totally good way! Top-notch musicianship all over that stage, btw.
