That's the one.  The thing that reminded me of Tom Verlaine was the 
(relatively) long notes with nice vibrato at the beginning of the solo. Much 
as I love his playing (and I LOVE his playing), I'd have liked to hear him 
push himself like that more often.

Plus, I'd consider Mike Bloomfield playing with Dion a pretty historic 
moment.

How long is the show? I've seen a couple of variations on the set list, so 
I'm not sure I've got the whole thing.
