Mike Wanchic.

Mike was on the opposite side of the stage from me and I had a hard time getting a picture of him on guitar. I have some but I liked this one better. It was a moment towards the end of the show when John introduced him to the crowd. All of these band members are essential players. Old friends and very talented. Mike has been with John for over 30 years. 'Nuff said.

Here are several links to some additional information on Mike:
