I saw the same show and couldn't agree more. I missed him two years ago because of other committments, and have regretted it since. I always knew he played only solo acoustic guitar, but never really believed it. Now that I've seen it, I'm still not sure . . . Incredible. I heard the comment as I walked out, "It's like watching Michael Jordan play basketball." A perfect summary. He calls his playing "Violent Acoustic" or "Heavy Mental," I call it "Ironic Frenetic Acoustic," but whatever it's called, it's AWESOME. He's about to hit the studio to finish his next - "TAPROOT" - and will tour this fall. Check him out. If you're interested in a recording, I recomend "Live on the Double Planet" (Windham Hill WD-1066) Pflugs
