Hey Paul, that was a good review of Eric Johnson's DVD from the ACL show back in 1988. It is, as you stated a guitar players dream DVD. I've been going to see him in the Houston area since 1982 at Rockefellers for $5.00. That bastard caused me to finally realize that I wasn't that great and I basically gave up my dream of becoming the next EVH. Anyway, the song Western Flyer did, in fact, appear on a casette called "Guitar Speak" back in the mid 80's along with a bunch of other decent guitar players like Gary Moore, Steve Howe, etc. The production value on Eric's track is stunning. You should try to find a copy, there are 3 or 4 other decent tunes on the casette but Eric's bullet proof track is worth the price of the casette alone. Later, John.
