I would have loved to see a show with Phil X as big a Richie fanboy I am. And the point about energy is spot on. There was some new tension in the band, you could see it on Tico and David as well, the way they were focussed to make sure they catch Phil X.
However, musically I would disagree. Specifically the longer solos suffered quite a bit. I don't think he did a single decent Dry County solo. And Wanted Dead or Alive was simply not the same either. Still...would've loved to see him with the band.
