RE: Playing of the Bond Theme riff at Television shows: 

Last night, I was checking set list info (totally 
unrelated to the Bond Q) for a database I keep and I 
'stumbled' across these:.

I don't want to beat this to death  :>)
but---
a) I would agree that the majority of the time, Richard and Tom 
do not switch who plays the solo (or if two solos on a single song 
who plays the first one--except for MM in which Lloyd always 
goes first ).  I'll say 90-95% of the this is the case.

Hoever, I have heard and seen Verlaine play Richard's" parts on both 
Rhyme and 'Mr Lee'. This might shock some :>), 
but I've been too busy at work and other stuff to find the specific 
instances.  Il  get on it this weekend (I think my memory's still good
--(maybe too good) and I swear I've seen parts/solos although my memory
isn't as 
good as it was b. the i'LL GET CRACKING THIS

Tom has played the Bond theme on a few occasions, including his Oct.
2001 solo show.

I've never seen Tom do the solo for "Call Mr. Lee".
