[Matt Benz] Really. Never have I seen-well, Paul Shaffer,
excluded-, a bandleader try so hard to interject himself into a show.
And his endless parade of cool guitars (what, one for every "go to
commercial?") left me speechless with jealousy, and close ups of him
showboating...goodnight, Alice! He got ripped for his work with Dylan
live, also: I saw him written up as a souless player. On the other hand,
his work on Wait's "DOwntown Train" was great. But then we don't have to
look at him.
