Indeed, I do concur. This clip is Rick's solo from the ABWH concert that
was broadcast live on Pay Per View in the US circa 1989. I have the entire show
on VHS and really need to get around to capturing it to DVD. I saw ABWH perform
at Great Woods in Mansfield, MA several months prior to the PPV broadcast. This
solo by Rick appears to be the standard solo routine he was doing at the time.
Don't know if or how much he may have deviated from it at other shows, but the
PPV solo was identical to what I saw live. It was again impressive
nonetheless. Unfortunately, Tony Levin had taken ill sometime before the PPV
and was replaced by Jeff Berlin on bass. Tony and Bill Bruford performed
an incredible percussive bass/drum dueling solo with Tony using his Finger
Sticks. Wish there was a clip of that floating around! It was a great concert,
just wish the PPV was from the show I went to.
If anyone is interested, I have a song called "Tempest..." which I did
exclusively on my VFXsd (except the guitar and vocal). Take a listen at http://www.myspace.com/humanbehavior7 and
let me know what you think. The VFXsd besides being an extremely powerful
synthesizer workstation, it's one of the most versatile controller keyboards
ever designed. I've been in love with it ever since I bought it new when it was
first released, had the Mega Piano and expanded memory installed shortly
thereafter. Thanx!
