Well that's something. I can tell from the periodic times when he's playing, that he knows how to play properly based on his technique.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

He does love amelodic free jazz.

Finally made this pilgrimage. Im a bit disappointed by the scaffolding.
Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I had a memory of the Rush comp I bought in college having a music video collection and there being some terrible in the mix. I tried to find the video, but it turns out all Rush videos are horribly bad:
