:laugh:

There is a longer version of it where it finishes on a repeat of the first verse but this new girl is from Syracuse.

Which I’ve heard even less of than Omaha!

I guess the gal from Syracuse had more bus money! :D
 
I have only seen them on video, and when I did, I was sorry I never caught that lineup live either!


This video although the vocal mic is not recorded for the first ten or so minutes made when they were not that well known yet on a three bill lineup at the Fillmore East, 9- 1970 is incredible, especially as it goes on, I've watched this about ten times and they mesmerize me everytime. They played like one person, their concentration is something to behold. They used to play Boston Common quite a bit in 1970 and I didn't even know it. :sour: :laugh: I do have a few of their CD's from that time in Boston and Berry Oakley was the frontman for the band, did all the talking while they were tuning etc, was a very cool guy. This is really what it was like to see a concert back then, no hoops, no makeup, no jumping around, just play and sound great. Not that there's anything wrong with theatrics. :laugh:

Angling for a New York City rant? ;):laugh:

I could provide a Mission SF rant.., but I'll refrain because I don't want to waste my energy on something I have no control over. I'm just friendly with the people in the hood who are friendly when walking Mona.

What did you have done and who did it?

Major fret work. Was a very poor refret when I had gotten it. But tons of fret to work with. So, major fret dressing, re-seating frets. He some how took out the hump in the middle of the neck.
Had him shave down some of the baseball bat off the back of the neck, was resealed.
Cleaned up some epoxy grime on a poor binding repair.

Plays like a dream.

Matt at 30th Street guitars.
