Check out the solo, Christopher Cross bringing the pain, 80s AOR style. :) Little known fact - he played a gig with Deep Purple - replaced Richie for one night. Crazy, eh? Looks like he can't find the pick of destiny.

 
Great post! Cross jams! Remember him when I was a kid....great how in the 80's(early) anyone could make it. Really....Baldies like Cross/Phil Collins would never even be given a chance these days. Fuckin sad state of affairs.....


Sorry for the rant, the wife made me watch the American Lip Sync Awards last night. :lol: :LOL: :D :lol: :LOL:
 
I've heard that album in '83 over and over again - until I've discovered that Saxon had their version of this song :D
 
it's been a long time since I heard that name or song that was cool :thumbsup:
 
Pete if this attracts TGP posters you lose a finger...................................


" Dudes.....RT is talking about CC man!!!!! Let fill them in on his Dumbles!!!!!"

"Yeah.....and how Bludotone copied the crap out of it and can be yours for $7000!!!!!"


NoNONONONONONONO :cry:
 
saw a later vid of CC from '98 and he was sporting a bogner and an Anderson. :)
 
Christopher Cross came into Tone Merchants maybe a year ago to try out some pedals. When he plugged in, he started shredding away. I was expecting sailing. Very nice guy and a great player
 
Christopher used to have the studio downstairs from mine. VERY cool guy. He almost bludgeoned me for taking his parking spot 1 too many times! LOL :gethim:

He let me borrow his touring Egnater M4 rig once so I could check it out. He's one of the original botique lovers. Was telling me about how he'd talk amps with Jimmy Page when they were on tour.
:thumbsup:
 
if you get caught between the moon and New York City....I like Christopher Cross. Never fails to bring me to another place and time whenever I listen to his songs. I have seen various youtube vids wherein he shows you major chops.
 
Awesome.
Classic tune and phenomenal solo!!
I honestly had no idea he shredded like that!
:rock:

PS: Didn't Steve Lukather play the original studio solo?
 
Wow - blast from the past, and also did not know that he could play that well!
 
very cool! :yes: .......................thanks for the vid,Petey!!!
 
It reminds me of Huey Lewis's I want a new drug guitar solo, tonewise.
 
Great stuff! I never knew he could play like that. This will sound just great but have you ever seen Rick Springfield just jam? He is incredible!! Not to mention simply DREAMY :D !!
 
Man, that's great playing! I love how he slowly worked his way up the fretboard.
