Given Bob Ezrin's status as my favorite producer, Dick Wagner turns up on a lot of albums I like since he was one of Ezrin's go to guitarists. Off to play the original studio version of Here Comes The Flood by Peter Gabriel in tribute to him. RIP.

Wow, I didn't know he played on that. It's one my favourite songs ever.

RIP

Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

He played the solos on that and on Slowburn on Gabriel's debut, yes.
