I have a few with bands; these seem mostly to be when he played outdoor gigs like fairs; I don’ t recall any with a cello(?) like in this one though. I think I prefer the solo stuff still!

The medley that you mention really is something! On that other live shows you have does he ever have a band configuration like on this one, or is he solo? Thanks for the comment…

Thanks for posting this–the medley of Colorado Girl / TT’s Blues is wonderful, and I haven’t heard this on any of his other live shows.
