Puh-leeze - he's adequate, he plays drums better than I ever could, but
"all time great"????
His lacklustre playing was a big factor in why BOC were so lame at the
Astoria last year (probably the worst show I've seen 'em do - in 28
years).  So lame that I went to see Nektar instead this year!

OK, I jumped the gun a bit, but if you can't play great when the
material is so good, and the template was set by Albert...

Hear ****ing hear - and maybe whover steps in will give the other guys a
good boot up the rear too! Here's hoping for a much improved London
visit in 2006 (or sooner?)
