I have just about every GL album ever released--ALL the United Artists stuff---I think the best Red Shea virtuoisty--or at least my favorite---is "Long Thin Dawn" on the "Back Here on Earth" album---turn down the base line (they're separated--sorry John Stockfish--it's great and all, but...) and turnup Red's lead...He simply goes beserk with delicate riffs, hammers---simply unmatched genius. I've been listening to it for about 40 years and I'm still blown away...

Red apparently was even a better human being and father...Absolutely no one has anything even slightly negative to say about him...How often does that happen in show biz?

Sleep well Red.
