you guys are jealous fess up!! gary had a great run,he is an ambassador for using bursts live more than most anyone(other than page-gibbons etc)
i saw him at least 8 times in the 70s using bursts,his tone was monster,he deserves a huge salute...
imo he's one of rock and rolls sloppiest yet greatest guitarists ...
Agree with one exception, I have viewed many You Tube videos of live REO performances, and can see nothing remotely what I would consider sloppy. If anything, Gary's phrasing is dead on. Check out the link below of a performance on Midnight Special in 1977. Both he and Kevin are playing vintage sunburst Les Pauls. Nice.
