Most know Hot Tuna from a previous life as Jefferson Airplane less Kantor and Slickdingbat last time I like hot tuna was a dish gramma made with pimentos over toasted English muffins.
As a guitar player who mostly plays bluegrass, gospel, and country before about 1970 I have always had a interest in true musicians who can play outside there usual genre. We have a fiddle player who shows up now and then who plays in a string quartet and the local symphony along with a dobro player who spent his Navy career playing saxophone in the Navy Band. Just to hear Ronnie Wood on the pedal steel in this version of the Rolling Stones doing a Wayland Jennings song shows true talent.

Artist that have true talent can do those things. But sadly today we have made up groups accomplied by studio players. Gone are the days when groups not only played their respective instruments, but also sang at the same time. Now it is choreographed junk. JMHO
I wasn't at that concert, but a friend was. Barry and Ricky did Stayin' Alive with the Kentucky Thunder. Only video I can find of it:Here is another one with Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees and bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs.
One of my designers here in the office is an excellent musician, and after this concert we looked up all of the song Barry Gibb wrote. The LIST is pretty impressive. Much more talent than you see on the surface.Quite the duo. Brothers Gibbs were very talented, far beyond what they are remembered for
