Ok, I know I'm going to look like a totally ignorant fool here, but I really dont know. Is it Bob Weston playing lead on Hypnotized or Mr.Welch?

To give you an idea of who plays what,

"Hypnotized" is mainly Welch

"For Your Love" is Weston.

"Emerald Eyes" is Weston.

"Miles Away"...single note leads are Weston...the "riff" is Welch & J. McVie. Acoustic rhythm is Welch

The slide parts on "The City" & the intro to "Why" is Weston.

Not an exact science, but a rule of thumb (no pun intended): The bluesier stuff is Weston...the jazzier stuff is Welch.

Now, go listen to the "Future Games" album and try to figure out who's playing lead!

Actually, after hearing two live bootlegs from the FG/BT era, that has become a MUCH easier thing to do.
