Brave Combo, One Ton Tomato (Guantanamera)

The always excellent Brave Combo played at the Cherry Street Brewing Company in Galesburg, Illinois on June 29, 1985. Many of us Quad-City based fans and friends of theirs who enjoyed them at The Madhatter, or RIBCO attended. You can see many of us dancing up a frenzy to one of our favorite bands.

Carl was nice enough to allow me to record it with a friend's tired, old VHS camera. Although the quality is not all that wonderful, you likely won't see this stuff anywhere else. After going through all the video I shot at the recent 2009 Peoria Octoberfest, I got this nearly 25 year old tape out of the cabinet to share some of the fun with other friends/fans of Brave Combo.

The line up at this time included Carl Finch, Jeffrey Barnes, Bubba Hernandez on bass, and Peoria native Mitch Marine on drums. As I view this stuff, I find myself thinking..... wow, we sure were young!
