Well, I was in NYC a lot during that time. What a hellhole it was. But a lot of music everywhere. I saw them at a rehearsal studio. It wasn't a club gig, but they were doing a regular set. There used to be entire buildings full of musicians on 30th between 8th and 9th. I think Chubby Checker had a studio there.

Ack! I just played that video. That's not the original version. Why would anyone kill something like that?

very cool. that must be around the time you played at CBGB?

EDIT: you're right, that's not the original. I should have played it before I linked to it. the "Spaced Out" version I linked to was a remix done in '83 (I just looked that up).

Yeah. But we used to go to New York every few months to pound the pavement and foist our package on defenseless record companies, publishers, promoters - it was ridiculous. And funny. You can read all about it in my blockbuster memoir, A Passport and a Clean Pair of Socks, due out some time this century!

I have it, it just isn't digital yet. I should send my tapes out to get them done, but for what it would cost I could probably buy a cassette deck and do it myself...

Then you can all hear me butchering the vocal on 16 tons and being mercilessly mocked by a drunken Chicago audience.

The CBGB gig was funny because it was supposed to be the highlight of the tour, but our bass player broke a string on the first or second song so we had to stop, go change it (that's about a 15 minute ordeal) and then come back out. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Well, what do you think of the Robert Plant like moves, the chick, that riff!? I only said I wish I were Mark Gormley but what the fuck.

Stav,
about Marky,
where are "the what not to wear" assholes when you need them!
I must say that the footwork was unexpected. Watch out! the tune sticks.
Little Wings is a doozy.

I don't think they would have ever had Pearl Jam's success with Andrew Wood as their lead singer, but man Mother Love Bone was still brilliant!

Does anyone else hear a strong but twisted Beatles influence in this song, or am I losing it?

Chronic, That has always sounded like a Beatles song to me. Pepper as in Sgt. Pepper. They would have to admit it but they are buttholes, after all.
