June 1970.

They have been too underrated. Their music is so unique. There's no other rock band like them.

Oooh! I was there! At this very same gig in L' Olympia, Paris. Recently arrived in Paris from Spain. I saw a poster on the street, so I went straight to buy my ticket. Arrived a few minutes late and didn't read all the info in the poster (my english then was quite primitive!), so I enjoyed a lot the first band, but didn't know who they were... Until today! when I've just read Mr. Fiske entry saying that they were using Arcadium's gear. So... I had seen Arcadium, a legend today, playing live and I haven't known this for about 50 years!!! I stayed in Paris a few months, then up to Denmark, where, by the way, I did see Alrune Rod playing live (it's only that I didn't know then who they were yet!) Different times indeed. You travelled hitch-hicking and, wherever you arrived, you looked for long haired people an that was all. You made friends instantly. Today you could not even dream about something like this. Oh, how times change... an we do too with it... Anyway, such a great night with Arcadium and East of Eden in Paris, 1970! ;)

Only just stumbled upon this.... and loving it to bits. Got the vinyl LPs of Mercator Projected & Snafu back in 1970/1 and have always loved the music but this is the first time I have ever actually seen what the band looked like! {PS: Phil Woodward - are you still alive?!?}
