Snowy plying solos on Shine On and Have A Cigar - 1977?

[space triangle]

I always knew that Snowy White played guitars on some of the Animals songs at the 'In The Flesh tour 1977'. But, I thought he stayed away from the second half of the concerts, during the WYWH songs.

Why should he? Those songs are just as multi-layered as the ones on Animals, and if you've got a second guitarist with you, you might as well make use of that possibility.

I didn't know he played the solo on Have a Cigar, but I guess it's a bit like Tim Renwick playing the solo on Learning to Fly on the '87-'94 tours. Give the other guy some chance to shine.

Why should he?

Well, for some reason I thought Snowy was brought in primarily because of the new(at the tine) album, Animals. And, I never thought David would let anyone else play solos on the mighty Shine On You Crazy Diamond. That is a bit disappointing.
