    COMMENTS/FURTHER INFORMATION

    Rob Caldwell reports:
    Personally, this is one of my favorite Bruce video appearances. Rik and Bruce compliment each other very well "guitaristically", bringing out greatness in each other. The songs played run the gamut from acoustic jazz to fusion to hard rock. Highlights include Rik playing slide on "Deer Dancing 'Round A Broken Mirror", the Django Rheinhardt tune "Nuages" in which they trade solos, and Rik's expressive, soulful "Epilogue".
