I'm looking for a tab for Robben's version of "Don't let the Sun Catch You Cryin' " from live Authorized Bootleg (acoustic) album... anybody got one?

Thanks in advance.

I should add a "thank you" to Charles, Lou, John, Jonathan, and Paul (and Judy and Chase...), with whom I shared a table and more than a couple of yuks! Thanks, guys... made a fun evening even more so ...

However, keep listening, like fine wine, the CD get's better with time! After the Ba ...

OK, so I'm obviously in the minority here..

I picked this one up last night, and I have to say, I am somewhat underwhelmed.

I'm a HUGE Robben fan, but this is, to me, probably one of his weake ...

Dave,

Thank you so much, a great review. You should have been a reporter.

I'm kicking myself for not planning properly to make the trek down from Hartford.
