Nice find, sarge.
Not my favorite genre, but I'm a Jeff fan, long time! I bounced through the tunes. I didn't watch the whole 22 minutes. 15 seconds here, 15 seconds there.
Interesting use of guitars by Jeff. Guess I've just my mind locked on him holding a Strat.

The Stratocaster is associated with Jeff like it is with Eric C. and Jimi Hendrix.

Although I have seen Jimi playing a Gibson SG.

He was switching between Stray, Tele, LP, and Flying V for quite a while.
It was at Wired where he pretty much ditched everything but the Strat.
So much so, that on an HBO special concert honoring Les Paul on his bday (80th, I think), EVERYBODY was playing Les Paul's (even Eric), but Jeff walked out with his Strat!!!! Now, that's commitment to an ax.
