Mike..You are certainly right that Zakk is open minder and fair. The real treat is to see the visual. He expresses every feeling thru facial expressions. Every phrase Jim sings brings Zakk's reaction and always in a positive if not surprised thumbs up kind of way.

One review he made that totally surprised Zakk in a most positive way was his review of "When You Are Gone". He mentions the high soprano (Winifred Brest I believe)intro ..how well it fit the song and sounding like a "ghostly wail". Well I think that fits.

And his waiting until the end of each song to talk , as Mike mentioned, does give a better flow and interest to every song.
