I LOVE live music videos.

Yeah, I only know of a couple songs. I was just thinking that Hold the Line is a great song.

I don't know if they're the most underrated band, but I'll say that Steve Lukather might have the most impressive resume' of any rock guitarist ever.

He is 100% badass.
Yep.

There are a lot of session players out there with surprisingly diverse resumes.

Most impressive I've ever seen (this guy's a bass player) is Leland Sklar. I always knew him for playing with Jackson Browne, James Taylor and that sort of crowd. Then, just a couple of weeks ago, I realized that he was the bass player on Billy Cobham's Spectrum, which was a seminal jazz fusion album that I've owned since around 1973.

Saw him with JT 30 years ago. I see his beard has gotten a little larger. Even in the context of a James Taylor concert, it was easy to tell that Sklar was a monster player.
