They did their signature finale of repeating a 16 bar theme for the big song of the tour - Macarthur Park this time, Hey Jude was another tour. The entire sax, trombone, trumpet sections would walk out in the crowd and play call and answer with Ferguson on stage. It was way cool to hear the first horn screaming above high C right behind your seat.

We have very similar tastes. Your classic rock aggrees with mine, and my Girlfriend plays Tenor and Alto Sax. I've played Viola since I was eleven years old. I picked it because nobody else did. Hearing a huge brass band can really kick some ass. I'd still pick CSNY and Santana though.
