Thinking primarily of British guitarists, one can add Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour to that list - both acknowledged Hank fans.

Yeah - the live rehearsals for their Musikladen show are amazing. A shame that their 1973 live album, Strung Up, suffered from some serious miking issues that left the snare drum inaudible on the stereo recording. Andy Scott kept the band going after the departures of Brian Connolly and Steve Priest and ended up with a fairly decent lineup in the mid 80s that included Mick Tucker on drums. Their Marquee gig from 86 is good - and there's Andy, sporting a mullet and playing the red and white Strat!!!!
