Saw these guys Sunday night. I was impressed with the playing. For the majority of the show, Rich Williams was the only original member. Phil Ehart, who is recovering from an arm injury, did play the encore. Billy Greer and David Ragsdale have been with them for 30+ years, so they have it down. The biggest question I had was how the singer, Ronnie Platt would handle the roll of Steve Walsh. He's got a very similar range, and does the music justice. I've seen them 3 times now, and this show was excellent.
Wow.. I only saw them once - April 1976 Capital Centre Landover, Md. IIRC, they opened for Santana. A buddy I jammed with scored 2 free tickets for a sky suite, stage left about 150 ft out. They sounded just like their albums, as did Santana.
