One doesn't really appreciate great Music until it's GONE! Incredible interpretation of music here

[Jedizen07]

Whoa. This is GREAT freaking stuff. More please!!!!

[BuffoonCinema]

Steven Hawking rolled into a Dog Cheese show one night and his computer voice said, "figuring out all these different time signatures are giving me, yes me, Stephen F'ing Hawking, a headache!"

[1957thack]

Such a shame that all this great historic music is unavailable and lost......

That's "The Mike Landau Sound". UNIQUE! Is like a Lukather-Van Halen-Henderson sound. MAN! Who needs a name when you have THAT SOUND!!??!!

[n2motocross]

@SrBridges Hell yes!! it is addictive. I cannot stop watching it for 3 solid days straight now and nothing but this killer jam tune by the King of Tone.. Michael Landau

[TheMrFunktastic2]

This is some of the best stuff I have ever heard in my LIFE!

[dejavudave]

I remember those gigs at the Baked Potato. Slammin' indeed.

[TheChiFlows]

I love this shit !

[joshfreese]

In 84-85 I was 11 and I befriended Vinnie Colaiuta (somehow) at a NAMM show. Sum of my best memories ever were having 2 take a nap (because they usually played the Baked Potato on Sundays and I lived in OC and had school the next morning) and my Dad would drive me up 2 watch/hear Vinnie. He would get us in and save a table close 2 the drums. It effected me DEEPLY (ESPECIALLY at that age) 2 witness those Dog Cheese shows (tons of em) and I'm forever thankful 2 Vinnie for it. LOVE Vinnie!

[inaglasscage]

@joshfreese what's the most important thing you learned from him? just curious cause i know you studied with him for a while.

[poulter5150]

My God that was delicious. Tone soup.

A: Nobody.

[sheldonknowsall]

One of the greatest "hidden treasures" I've discovered on youtube. Absolutely fantastic, can't thank you enough!!!

[danielworks]

[vapor9699]

I believe the one in the pics is his Real McCoy Wah Wah (red).

[OlegVoronin]

@vapor9699 its Dunlop Crybaby wah, stage light is red

[kimedmundson1]

I have a boot leg recording of a live show @ the spud in 83' that I will never share out of respect for the guys ......really raw...star trek....al mcmanniss....

[Lifesucksdie123]

i don't think they'd really give a shit.

in fact they'd probably dig it...

[bingefeller]

Why mention it then, honey?

[kimedmundson1]

I was at the the "SPUD" in LA everytime these guys played. This is one of the best bands I have ever seen live. circa 1984-86

...so raw and original. They later were w/ joni mitchell on the Dog Eat Dog tour and record......SICK!!!!
