Brilliant Steve. Note Ray Bauduc's superb drumming. That is what it is 
all about.
Billy was in great shape on the video, unlike a sad couple of gigs he 
played here in the UK in the 80s. He was a sick man and I was really 
looking forward to playing with him, but his lip and tone had gone. A 
few months later he left the building. Yank Lawson, on the other hand, 
was still blowing incredibly strong in 1986.
Cheers
