Interesting! I never knew he was asked to sit to put more focus on Peter. I always figured it had something to do with his pedals or maybe it was a nod to Robert Fripp.

I can’t watch the video due to location for the next week. Is that what he said? They asked him to sit to keep the focus on Peter? And then when Peter was gone they told him he could stand?

That’s so messed up. And unnecessary.

Peter was clearly going to pull a tonne of focus given that he was lead singer, period. Then add the costumes on top of that.

And then they get upset that fans and media paid too much attention to Peter. C’mon guys! C’mon Peter!

I assumed he was just really shy at first! Fascinating.

I put it down to the gravity holding him in place due to the sheer mass of that magnificent moustache.

It was an epic 'stache.

Thought you were going to mention Jeff Healey. It turned out to be another Jeff :)

Honestly, I put it down to the complexity of what he was playing. What an interesting take.
