Jeff sez "I just want a life were I can make enough money to live that way." Wish granted.

That would be the "Past Time Pub" I think i saw there first show there back in 1980-81

I remember! It was a tiny little bar on Merrick Road, maybe in Amityville. I think on the corner of Rte 110, but not sure. Wow....lots of memories there!

OK...just did a google search and the bar is now called Olies Bar and Grill, but I definitely recognize the inside of the place (spent a lot of time there...hahaha). I can't remember what it used to be called - any ideas?

Peace....

Wonderful stuff. Anyone remember where the Volunteers played regularly on L.I. before playing at the RTI, in the mid-80s? I think the place was on Sunrise Hwy.

I also used to see Jeff Matson solo at Diamond Lils on the Island. I recently spoke to him in New Hope PA with the DJG Band. He's still an amazing guitarist.

WOW!!!! I liked that ..

before there were Dead tributes, there were the Volunteers/Zen Tricksters. Truly influenced me. Mattson is brilliant. Everyone was. Saw them at the Right Track Inn. Thanks for putting this up. Big memories and smiles.

Used to trek out to the RTI every week from Brooklyn to see Jeff.

Back in 1980-81 We used to go see a band called Volunteers @ the Agora Ballroom & The Great American Music Hall in New Haven, Ct...is this the same band? ~ Max Creek was playing these venues at the time as well.
