I was about to post this - Glad I looked 1st.

I already knew Anika could play, she was Jeff Beck's drummer and he didn't tolerate mediocrity.

Seriously. He said himself in interviews for the Time Machine and R30 tours that they had to leave several early favorites out because there was no way to successfully transpose the composition to a lower key (I am paraphrasing, of course). But he's a tenor, and he's got range.
