Can't You Hear Me Knocking! Wonderful latin/jazz fusion that really gets the song cooking and leads right in to Taylor's wonderful solo. A classic hand off.
His solo on Sweet Virginia is tasty. Tight and compact but has a great barrel house quality to it, and fits so well with Stu's piano.
And not a stones, but a few other great Key's performances with John Lennon. A great one on (Well) Baby Please Don't Go, on the Lennon Anthology, and I Don't Want to Be a Soldier Momma I Don't Want to Die.
Great player and a fine gentleman. I had the pleasure of standing in line behind him at Chinese immigration after their Shanghai show, and he was kind enough to sign my ticket stub for me. And we chatted a bit, nice guy.
