The coolest part in the series so far IMO. There's a really fine interaction between the three of them.
Just a detail, but Dave seems to have trouble turning his head around towards Eddie, maybe due to his cervical vertebrae?posted by Ellyllions Men say, "I'll never understand women."

I believe that part showed a glimmer of why this reunion has worked (... so far). Ed got a little defensive and Dave immediately and deftly mitigated the situation because he saw the 'testiness' of Ed coming out and headed it off very diplomatically. I think Ed has always been that way and Dave has learned to recognize and handle it. It's challenging to deal with someone like that and constantly take the high road.I find it funny Ed says his reason to pick up the guitar wasn't because of another player he had heard and admired..He had to because Al took his drums...
Old story but funny to hear Ed say Al was his influence..Also when questioned about thinking you are the first to do anything its probably been done before..he seemed to get just a bit defensive..I dont think Dave was intentionally noodling him about tapping..
For the record, everyone that has ever played the guitar was influenced and took something from someone else they heard, hell that's how you learn ! But I guess there's a not-so-thin line between blatant ripoffs and 'influences'.Last edited by BenJammin; 06-03-2012, 01:18 PM."Money can't buy poverty." -Marty FeldmanComment

I think sometimes the tension between those guys produced some of the most kick ass, in your face bad ass backyard barb b que music ever created.
C'mon people, reality bites ...these guys are probably never gonna be best friends, never have, never will, but just as long as the keep on for a little while longer, do the graceful thing like I been repeatedly preaching, we'll be ok.
I'm sure when it's all said and done, Dave, Ed and Al wwon't be calling each other to bullshit about the "Good Times" ...Hot dog and a shakeComment
