They are a great combination, Gary seems to be relaxed but cranking it out.

I was on the road with Gary when we were with "the Alive Company," playing "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris." This was in 1973 and 1974. It was one of the most memorable musical experiences of my life.

Great to see a brilliant old pro at work. I remember Gary Burke playing percussion for Dylan in the legendary 'Hard Rain' NBC-TV Special from Fort Collins in 1976. He played drums on 'I Pity the Poor Immigrant' while Dylan and Joan Baez duetted and Howie Wyeth knocked seven bells out of a honky-tonk piano - the weirdest and most wonderful arrangement of any Dylan song I've ever heard - then 'fenced' with Allen Ginsberg on tambourines on 'Idiot Wind'. Anyone who was part of that show is a legend.
