I saw the ABB just over a year ago (5th July 1997, Blockbuster Pavilion,
Charlotte, NC), and left wishing it'd been Haynes and Woody filling the
guitar and bass slots instead of Pearson and Burbridge.  Not that they
were bad, just more restrained.  Burbridge, in particular, singularly
failed to impress, lacking Woody's amazing fluidity.

To be fair, the two new members had only recently joined the ABB as
replacement, and so may still have been finding their feet.  Things may
be entirely different nowadays...

Cheers,

Paul.
