Bobby, I agree and funny you would mention those two songs because I have recordings of myself performing both of them.. Here's Norm and I playing "Hold Your Head Up"  with his internet Copperhead band! Norm generously invited me to take the solo on this, and I used VB3!  Norm's copperhead band did a very nice job on this.

And here is my 11STEPS band performing Hush Live from the same El Mocambo recordings that G mentioned in his other post..

On this recording I'm using the Nord C2.. and it sounds pretty good if I say so myself!!

On the GEL solo I try to perform it pretty close to the original, but on Hush, and Hold Your Head Up, I tend to cover the signature phrases and I wonder off a bit here and there and do my own thing..  I have to say that I am really lucky to be able to play in a band that appreciates these keyboard oriented songs, and plays them all live!!

Thanks for indulging me guys!!

Craig

Yessir. Right up there with Hush and Hold Your Head Up.
