...at least in most mixes I've heard. IIRC, Rick Beato had an episode of his show where he basically foamed at the mouth about this, because it's such a great solo, and Cross is an A-level player. I always wondered why Cross didn't follow in the career path of those like Lukather, Huff and Farris (session work). He had talent that was far more than adequate for the job.
