The tempos are faster and no one is holding back with anything to lose. These true live tapes show the songs exactly as we played them on the road where they were developed between June of 1999 and July of 2000. Now, 25 years later, the Greg Norman tapes have been dusted off, baked and transferred to digital. With the aid of modern restoration tools, and the expertise of [engineer] <strong>Bob Weston<\/strong>, we were able to re-mix and master these recordings for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emm and guitarist <strong>Ian Williams<\/strong> left Don Caballero following <em>American Don<\/em>, with drummer <strong>Damon Che<\/strong> remaining as the lone original member until the band dissolved for good in 2009.
