I was watching After Hours last night and whwn Mr. Crowley started, I got to wondering about the keyboard player. Is that Don Airey in the video?

I think Lyndsy did exactly right in '81.
When Don Airey was playing with them, the keys were too much in the mix and had a too prominent role during the Diary tour (IMO) causing to burry the guitar too much. But maybe the band wanted it that way?

Hey Pat, I think you are right...they were correct in '81....for us Then again, we are, for the most part wanting to hear Randy. From a band persepective, and judging by what Kelly Garni has mentioned about Randy's interest during that time frame in bands like Forienger with more keyboards, it may very well have been the sound they were all looking for. Personally, I could do without the keyboards.

It might also have been Randy's way of remaining interested in the Music, he seems to have become more of an artist as time went on and with few changes in songs between 1980-82. The addition of a different and more KB orientated form of the songs might have been a way that he found to keep focused on the art of his music.
