This is pretty hot but I saw at least as good, it was new years eve 78 and the tubes had a three way drum solo with Prairie Prince, Mingo Lewis and Special guest, Aynsley Dunbar. Which carried them into a medley in which the tubes covering Baba O'Reily , the Kids Are Alright and Won't Get Fooled Again, with all three drummers taking on the duties of the recently departed Keith Moon.

PP is definately an unsung drumming monster! He has been a major influence ever since I wore the grooves off my Completion Backward Principal album

Great to see this footage of The Tubes at their peak. Prairie Prince is a superb drummer & woefully underrated. He's breathtaking when combined with Mingo Lewis. I've posted God-Bird-Change here with no graphices but it would be great to see the concert performance of this if you've got it.

I Belive I was there... (they played for 4/5 nights). Not so much a gig as a 'happening', like Todd Rundgren's Evening of Interactivity (performed in the 'round').

Thank's (then & now).

Forward thetubesproject !!! (......a mighty important crusade.......we'll be leaving as soon as were paid!)

Maximum stars is not enough.......
