Sing "Apology"

On the Sunday Concert album there is a song titled "Apology." I've not seen it on any of the studio albums I have or any of the bootleg albums I have. I love the song.

What if Red Shea had continued for many more years as GL's lead guitar player? Do you think there would have been much, if any, change in the songs he would write?

I seem to recall hearing GL do Hoyt Axton's song "Snow Blind Friend" in concert a long time ago. Do any of the rest of you remember any such thing?

Re: Just a thought about Carter doing Miquel

How ironic on the youtube clip of this song that the only guitar work they feature is some of Rick's bass playing while Red Shea is doing such fabulous intricate work on lead guitar!

Guitar Changes

When I first saw GL over 40 years ago, he was playing a Martin D-35. In the 1972 BBC concert, he's playing a D-28. Now, when he plays a 6 string, it's a pretty worn D-18.

Anyone have any idea...

3. The great licks in MOTD throughout the song.
