Review: I was just sitting in Doc's dressing room picking with Jack and Doc say's "Hey Steve, I'm about to go out on stage with Dan Crary and Tony Rice do you want to come out?" and that's how much notice I had to play with Doc and the boys in front of 50,000 people. It was a blast - you gotta see this.
