In the intro, they said they left off Vai on purpose because they
weren't sure he was a rock player!  Then, of course, they mention
Holdsworth and Zappa!  Still, well worth reading...

Personally, I find BFY one of BD's worst solos.  Still, they praise
BOC for their 'sartorial' presence.  Can't hate that.  I well
remember BD's white leisure suit, as well as his spaceman costume,
EB's leather bathrobe, AB's liederhosen [sp?]--ah it goes on
forever...

But Joe and AL always dressed cool...
