Well... sounds like you got your money's worth.
Hard to imagine a power-trio guy like Watt in an 86 peice ensemble. He
can be pretty busy all by himself. Imagine 30 D. Boons, 30 Watts, and
30 Hurleys all jamming. I'm pretty sure my nose would bleed, my teeth
would fall out, and once I made it through the exit doors I'd never
want to listen to a guitar, drum or bass ever again.
