    I have always thought that Jeff is one of the all time greats. He can play anything on the guitar. He is also a patriot having served his country for years.... Jeff is a national treasure!

      Jeff's work for the US Department of Defense and DARPA; expecially in innovative technical applications for missile defense systems back in the late 1980's and early 1990's, does make Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter a "national treasure".

    Having played this song with Jeffrey, Mary Ann Redmond and Mike Ault, in DC, it is not easy, Hank did a good job. Jeff is a masterful player, kind, most generous with his time and talent….and good friend. Glad someone posted this.

    I'm fascinated by people who say these guys should retire. Damn it, they created these songs. They evolve from the original and what we forget is their entitlement to portray their creations as they see fit.
    I forget which member of Yes - maybe Chris Howe - replied to a comment that anyone could play their songs but he asked the question, maybe, but could you write it?
    Today's music lacks freedom, the ability to interpret it as you feel at the time.
    Baxter is a rare genius, such an intelligent man. Give him the credit he deserves.

    I saw Jeff Baxter, close to forty years ago, with the Doobie Brothers. He had one of his legs in a cast, and sat through the whole show and never missed a note. I wonder if it was an accident that led to his increasing need to sit during gigs. Anybody know?🎸👑🎸

      From what I recall him saying is that it came from his study of guitar and the best way to play it is sitting down. Also wire head set on stage to protect his ears. It worked!

      Another moron that compares a live version to the studio recording which takes hundreds of hours to perfect and tweaking by a sound engineer as well as overdubbing and multiple layering and mixing. This guy did a pretty damn good job ON the vocals. If you want to hear a perfected version, then just listen to the damn studio track for crying out loud.
