She didn’t solo—not surprising. She rarely did with FM, either. But her piano throughout was upfront and center. It’s functioning here in a prominent way. And that is so cool to hear.

When I came upon that footage some years ago, I was VERY surprised - about both no vocals and solos from Christine, despite the pretty obvious reason. And although I had hoped for a bit more inspired picking by Mr. Webb (something of a rarity) than his usual cheap speed play, I wasn't surprised on that front at all.

On the other hand I was more than glad to witness Chris playing with the Shack, because this 69 performance and the "See See Baby" clip from a 68 "Bouton Rouge" episode seem to be all there is . . . or is there more? In that case please let me know!!!
