Mr. Carlson you are a gentleman and a scholar.

[@petereverett4286]

Wow, this goes way back and interesting to hear how the music evolves.

That's some history there!! Rick throwing down on bass as well.

Digging deep for this one…”Welcome to the Thermos” ! it is always interesting hearing Bun E.’s approach to different tunes. Rick’s chugging bass, and Stewkey in fine form make this for a great listen already. Considering the rarity of the players and moment in time, this document becomes an even more relevant audio treasure. ‘

That was a pretty good band!

Extremely generous of you to share these fantastic photos and recordings. Amazing sound quality (and even more Amazing you can find machines to play these old tapes). Fun to hear Rick’s Lead Vox on Ramblin’ Rose and the drum intro for Idea makes it so Cheap Trick (yet another obscure pop classic I am discovering here). Love the way the set disintegrates (gtr string break?) with Ain’t Got You way back in ‘71. Subscribing to your channel is like being enrolled in musicological epistemology 101. So revealing. You covered some of the coolest songs on the planet (that most of us have never heard). So many of these songs could be Cheap Trick songs. Was it hard to get bookings? Audiences must have thought you were playing all originals back in the days when I’m guessing most promotors wanted cover bands.

So cool to hear this stuff as I was born in 1970 and had no way of being exposed to a gem like this if not for your generosity in sharing your library!

One Sunny Day so cool!

I see Idea featured which features many years later on Welcome to Bunezuela. Quite a bluesy band. Has a bit of a Big Company feel.

[@brettthomson3689]

I mean Bad Co.! (It's early here!).

[@IantaylorCanuck]
