That jam is horrible. Everybody sounds like they are playing the same licks in the same order every time someone takes a solo. The licks are not that good in the first place.

I was going to say the same thing. So many flubbed notes I thought it was one of those "shred" joke videos

For a minute there, I expected to see Henry Kaiser emerge from the side of the stage and take a turn at unleashing a quasi-coordinated torrent of tonal dissonance. It would have fit nicely with that crapfest of a jam.

Man, I don't want to sound like a contrarian (for once), but I would put that LP right behind the red Strat in the Knopfler pantheon-that's the guitar you hear on "Money For Nothin'"

That is Mark's '59 'burst he's holding, correct? I think it was a '59 reissue and a SLO-100 he used on "Money for Nothing" and "Brothers in Arms".

ETA: "reissue"

I'd always heard that he used his '58 LP through a Marshall with a cocked Crybaby pedal.

Chris: I think you're right about the cocked wah; the SLO was part of a live rig. I don't think he actually owned an original 'burst until the mid-'90s; I seem to recall that he had a reissue. I know he bought two originals long after Brothers in Arms: a yellowed '58 and a cherryburst '59. IIRC, he purchased both around '95-'96.

I did not know that. Thanks!

Also, that album, wow.

That sweater is a genuine Huxtable signature model.
