I don't remember that particular problem when I saw him play,
but there were certainly times when his playing wasn't spot on
rhythmically. 
Some of the "crowd pleaser" part of his set was dead rough.

I notice he does use microtones though, sounding a low E
with a high note between G and G# was once a trademark
Eberhard sound.

I really enjoyed his set though, a good lesson in musical looping
without resorting anything more than record, overdub and fade

It's official, Steve's intonation is spot on :-)
