Can anybody tell me who the steel player is on Willy’s 90th birthday show?

Haven't had a real good look, but I think it's Greg Leisz.

{hard to tell through all the smoke} 🥴

Edit: Well Dang. I lost reception just as the credits rolled!
I still think Greg, but I defer to anyone who actually knows. The guitar didn't look like what Greg plays...lots of knees on the right which is the only halfway good look I got...his solos got no camera that I saw... Rolling Eyes ...but I did not see the first part of the show.

I didn't recognize Greg either, he's gotten older like the rest of us. Looks like he was playing an S12 with 6 pedals?

Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

Confirmed: it was definitely Greg Liesz on his S-12 Infinity.

LOVED Greg’s playing on that broadcast —simple, melodic, and supportive. Terrific tone, as well. I was never able to achieve that sound. What kind of grips do you suppose he was using? They sounded both full and spacious. 8-5-3?
