These guys really made me wish I'd been born about five years earlier so I could've seen 'em live. I about wore out my copy of "Crawdaddy Express" back in the day, and I'm still listening to the digital version today.
As someone who saw the Graham Bond Organisation do this at 04.30 on a Sunday in the morning in a London club it brings back memories. Bond's Bach intro was much longer with the Hammond swelling the sound to a huge crescendo before hitting the melody.
Hey all, there's a great cover of this song on youtube. It's a by a band called The Competition. I have it in my favourites!! Check it out you'll really like it if you like this song.

ONKlub,
This would be late 1983, after Mike Stax left.
Check your messages, I have a request for you.
Thanks!

More precisely, it was December 7th, 1980 — a date which will live in infamy!
The occasion was the "Farewell Performance" of McClain's All Bitchin', All Stud, All Stars.
And it was my 4th gig in as many days with the Fab 'Dads .
Thanks for posting this Ray!
