Gary Peterson gave The Guess Who, BC and Rock history some of the best drumming Rock Music could ever have!

Garry is/was a good drummer, I think his talent lay in creating rhythyms and good beat. He isn't much of a pounder like Keith Moon or Billy Joel's drummer but he did a good job setting the beat.

Scott, Earlier I made a comment about Garry's drum solo in the live album and I will stick with it. I think it went on too long, even though what he did was decent. I think it took away from the direction of the music, but it was very typical of concerts in the early seventies (long guitar and drum solos). To each his own.

I agree that there is a time and place for drum solos in rock, and 2000 is definitely not the time. But when I listen to The Guess Who, in most cases I'm being blown away by Burton or Randy or Kurt etc. When the solo came on, it got me thinking about the fact that Garry really is an excellent drummer. I must admit, though, that the solo was too long, but as you said, at the time it was quite common.
Maybe I should have used a better, and less obvious example, like "Tuff E Nuff" from the SHAKIN' ALL OVER album.

Hey Richard,
Long time no talk. Been thinking about you. I lost your email address. Drop me a line and let me know how you are doing.
Hope to hear from you soon.
