      I mean Joe's playing more than just first position pentatonic. He's throwing in some phrygian, harmonic minor, and some diminished licks. His fast runs are just the pentatonic flurries similar to what Eric Johnson would play. Joe's playing is definitely way cleaner than Gales. But each have their own style.

Also love that they did not stick with typical blues notes and patterns with almost an Eastern or middle Eastern flair wow they were burning up the finger boards. Have to give major credit also to bass and drums. They kept it solid the whole time these guys left the Universe on their solos, but had that solid bottom so they had a foundation to come back too. The folks that were there were very fortunate indeed. I loved every second of this.

      Glennie has been profoundly deaf since the age of 12, having started to lose her hearing from the age of 8.[6] This does not inhibit her ability to perform at an international level. She regularly plays barefoot during both live performances and studio recordings to feel the music better.[6]

Some people can play a whole lot of notes and play nothing but like BB King he can make a single note give you goose bumps. So incredible.
