I can attest to that as having played that live myself, it was more 
than
downright deflating when you could barely hear yourself thru the 
monitors over
the crowd noise. Other than those than listened in amazement the 
"gimme some
noise hair band freaks" always seemed to outnumber them. What a shame 
as it was
Jimmy's own live interpetation that inspired me to learn it well 
enough to try
to perform it in front of an audience thinking they'd love it. And 
nervous
handsdo great on harmonics ; ) !!
