I always liked the way he covered a lot of great songs. He usually always had a great unknown lead guitarist. Nice work in the cover of Albert Collins "put the shoe on the other foot". Too bad he left too early,RIP

Larry, did you watch either of those clips?
He was the frontman, but not the lead by any means. Maybe co-lead, but the other guys solo blew Jeffs doors off...
Never got that much from him. a unique talent, but musically never thought he was that unique....

My intention wasn't to take anything away from him being the lead. Most of the time he was a trio but he had a 2nd guitar on several discs and tours. I was just rtying to comment on the "other " guitarists that played with him. His 2nd axeman always had a different style than his which made to band a treat to listen to.
This clip he has Pat Rush with him who played with Johnny Winter and several others.
