Richie was always more about feel then speed and sometimes I feel like Phil is the opposite.

I kind of feel it is the opposite. Phil is playing some of these solos exactly like the studio versions, like Always, Bed of Roses (2013), These Days, LH, WLOL, Dry County and more than a few others. His improvisation at the end of KTF and Always is more about feel than speed. Richie always played them faster. In truth I prefer Richie's style when he's on as it was the perfect balance of speed and feel, but Phil adds some melodic undertones that I feel were missing from Richie's playing with the band, maybe because he stopped giving a shit by the end.
