That is rather interesting. Obviously, you focused on the music which is the right thing to do. But you managed to miss the multiple times the announcer said it was Bob Gibson!

They actually did an amazing job with the credits. They named the backup musicians twice, and they were also in the credits at the end. The bass player is Herbert Brown, who is also pictured on the back cover of the Gate of Horn LP. His daughter had written to me when Hamilton died, and as soon as I saw the video I knew I would send the link to both Meridian (Bob's Daughter) and Selah (Herb's daughter). As all Lightheads know, the backup players don't always get the recognition they deserve, and I thought that that TV show did a wonderful job.

Selah has already written back to say that she sent the link to her Mom too!

PS: Glad you liked the music!
