This is among the greatest "Gems" in my collection.

I'm not sure what happened(but I understand how, because it
happened to me too), but at some point Ted became so big of a
fan of Chris Duarte that he suggested that they do a tour of Texas
together. But this was not a traditional opener/closer type of tour.
Chris would open the shows with his band(John Jordan- Bass
and Brannon Temple-Drums). Then Ted would begin his set with the CDG,
featuring insane Guitar-war type trade offs between Chris and Ted.
After about half an hour of Jamming, Chris and John would leave and
Michael Lutz would finish the show with Ted and Brannon.
Ted's adoration of Chris on this DVD is enough to give Duarte-heads
Goosebumps big-time. Especially when Ted compares Chris with other
legends such as......... well, I won't spoil it.
I'll put it this way....you know the "boner" Ted has for hunting?
Well, the "boner" he has for Chris Duarte's guitar playing makes hunting
seem like a long forgotten groupie from three weeks ago. No shit. Total
peer Validation for a young upcoming legend. And Chris DOES blow Ted away
in their Jams, although not by trying, 'cuz that' not his style.
I have to say though,that one of the most amazing things I've ever seen Ted
do is the Instrumental(Sunrise) he plays after Chris and John leave. I'm
really blown away by this. It seems like after Chris, Ted wanted to show
that he's a serious muscian as well. Very different, cool, and quite
impressive.

CHRIS DUARTE IS NOT A JUST A BLUES GUITARIST. HE'S A PSYCHEDELIC
JAZZ/ROCK/BLUES PLAYER, WITH THE TRUE SPIRIT OF JIMI AS FAR AS FAR
AS PLAYING EMOTIONALLY FROM HIS SOUL.
NO TWO CDG GIGS ARE EVER THE SAME. THERE IS NEVER A SETLIST!
CHRIS NEVER PLAYS THE SAME SOLO TWICE!
A SONG CAN BE 10 MINUTES ONE NIGHT, AND 18 MINUTES THE FOLLOWING NIGHT.
THIS IS TRUE FRE-FORM IMPROVISATION AND FEELING!
