[Igor Shveitser]

 David,
I wouldn't call them "more primitive", if we're not talking about Easy Livin', of course :)))))))))))))))))))))) Any classic solo by Box is quite sophisticated - I believe you remember Salisbury or Dreamer, as an example of that "primitiveness". The fact is, today he plays more, and there's more gain to his guitar -

And don't forget: then he wasn't the only one playing the solos, Ken did a lot of them as well, which, in turn, perhaps created that magic which you miss by now, David. That band was less predictable and schematic, that's for sure. But still I like modern version.

>>>I have to say Micks solos were far better back then, simply amazing, but I think that's true for most 70s guitar player's. Dave S.
