Babjak and Diken are two of the most skilled musicians I have ever seen play live. The fact that they can still perform "Behind the Wall of Sleep" and "Blood and Roses" so credibly and effortlessly without both Pat DiNizio and Mike Mesaros is a testament to their talent. Amazing stuff; long may it continue.
