Well, I'll be the first one to complain about the video - the slide guitar wasn't audible enough on the outdoor jam. Excellent playing but coulda used a second microphone to pick up the instruments better. (That's the guitar playing side of me coming out).
Otherwise it was a very enjoyable video. Makes me want to head back out west some day.
