I think you may want to reconsider your 'maybe the best guitar' thing though. And I absolutely love to see Pete play, he is phenomenal. Let's just say, Chris & Meredith are not the only 'Thompson' to have appeared at FR. And there was Roger Mcguinn in the earlier years. Not to mention Tony Rice just recently. My favorite guitarist to have seen at FR was John Inmon, year before last. The guitar summit workshop that year was one of the best sets I have ever seen at FR, and I've been to every one since 87 or 88 (can't find my 87 ticket, but pretty sure I remember 3 years at Egremont prior to Hillsdale).
