[Slowhand] distractions of backup singers

[Pat Seger]

Sorry for starting a commentary on the singers.

At least in Saint Paul those "tremendous pipes" were nowhere in evidence.
Their contribution to the music was mundane at best, nowhere near Tess and
Katie's talents.

In addition their constant wandering back and forth to their water bottles,
talking to each other during songs and "singing" during guitar solos
definitely did more to detract from the show than even their attire.
