  • Yes, I was in attendance !!

    A great gig !!

  • I was at this concert.

    Outta this world, Rockette Morton came on doing a bass solo pacing fast all over the place, energy energy. Someone in the audience called out

    "What do you run on?"

    Quick as a whip he shouted back

    "LASERRR BEEEAAMS"

    Anyone else there?

    Beefheart's still the best thing i can play in my car......and play along on harp in the traffic bouncing up and down at the lights!

    Who'd'a think I'd end up on the other side of the world still coming home in the wee hours
