I only have to see this video to feel the energy of that night. My favorite moment was Guns of Navarone.

[checkerphil]

True but I feel "Guns" is oversaturated so I felt it was time to get some other songs out there!

You're right and Clark is much better - although this is a nice solo - It's definitely Kevin Batchelor on Trumpet and Jerry Johnson on Tenor.

Man, I miss Roland!

[Trommylee]

i was wondering if that was Clark for a minute, but it isn't.

[gtamir613]

Looks like the amazing Clark Gayton with them on trombone. Clark plays with Sting, Springsteen, etc... The best around...

[LeaheyHoo]

great performance all around. Skatalites!!
