RIP. Weird song. It never really goes anywhere, just the same riff repeated many times. I'm surprised the forklift didn't run anyone over.

Yeah, it's entertaining and "rousing" but anybody with a guitar could play it. If that's all he ever did, he wouldn't be considered a great guitarist. But his sax player carried much of the load. One thing about that vid, though, he was able to get that much sound out of a guitar that wasn't plugged in. Not everybody could do that.

Good point. I'm so used to modern radio pickups that I didn't even notice.
