Thanks everybody. I'm going to introduce the band to you now. On the steel guitar, give him a big hand — Bucky Baxter! Just the other night he shot a man in Reno just to watch him die! On steel... electric guitar, Larry Campbell. On drums, David Kemper. And... bass guitar now is Tony Garnier. (after "This Wheel's on Fire").
