Yep,
but on the other hand many legends are well past their prime now.
Clapton and BB are still great, but not as creative as they were.
I found "Riding with the king" rather dull.
Also, I find that Greeny's playing is submerged in a weird way in these "all star" jams. Examples are the live jams with Grateful Dead and Clapton, Govt Mule and the Katmandu thing (although he was very ill then). Maybe it's that he doesn't like "competitive" playing?
