It's nothing close to the way I play, but those solos are so cool I just had to do it.
My wife & I saw them on the Communiqué tour at The Uptown Theater in Chicago.
We had 5th or 6 row tickets, dead stage center. We were 20 feet from Mark when he was at his mic. They opened the show with the song I linked.
I loved those guys until Mark decided to buy a distortion unit. I know they had their biggest hits after that, but I thought the songs lost the feel & spirit after that.
