It's not just about playing it right, even though Johanssen could spend 10 minutes doing so, but Jon had a touch all of his own on the instrument, authoritative, believable, always in the moment. For the same reason, I don't think I ever heard somebody other than Ritchie playing the riff to Mistreated in a credible way, passionate. It's like they are faking it, pretending to be inspired. For this, I enjoyed how Whitesnake were leaving out that riff in the 80's. Recent versions are useless.nondisclosed_email@example.com (fdr)Sat, 25 Aug 2018 19:00:46 +0000 Is Jon the only onehttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p516660,from=rss#post516660https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p516660,from=rss#post516660Who can make the keyboards sound powerful in "Perfect Strangers"?
