I was fortunate enough to catch them twice on the Rheinholdt Mesner tour. It seems arbitrary and maybe a tad back-in-my-day-y to say so, but I always found him to be at his best with Sledge and Jessee... why? I do not know. Maybe it was because they all seemed more inclined to breaking things while on stage. Did you ever get a chance to see him with “the five”?
