I think some times the 3rd Cactus brother joins on guitar - but not all shows - I think he has his own band as well. The NYC show was good - not the regular drummer, so a bit of a roller-coaster. So much going on - great songs & playing & arrangements - BUT there is nothing better then those two brothers singing harmony.

The 1969 Peter Sellers film, "The Magic Christian," had music by Pete Ham and Tom Evans--maybe this is a re-cutting of the track for the movie, which as I recall, has a version of "Come and Get It."
