Watching the eye contact between the band members, especially between Jorma and Jack, it was no wonder that they made such great music. I remember catching them at Winterland (New Riders opened the show) and I was just knocked out of my seat. As a bassist, I always saw Jack as a pure monster, but Papa John was from another planet and Sammy was constantly underrated, just because the strength of the rest of the band! That this was all created by just four people is still beyond belief.

Joni Mitchell's line "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you have till it's gone" came to mind as l listened to this immensely enjoyable group & read many of the comments. lt's so strange to realize that I took the unparalleled music of the 60s & 70s for granted. Looking back l realize that I believed that great music and talent like this would just always continue to be created. Then it disappeared,seemingly now, almost overnight. It was SO GREAT & WIDESPREAD it never occurred to me that it was destined to fade away. If there was one thing that would continue indefinitely during those times of swift and endless changes, it was the music that we loved as much as life itself. And luckily still can bathe in it. It will live on but can never be duplicated or replaced.

My favorite Hot Tuna album is Burgers, and I'm a big fan of Long John Silver and Thirty Seconds over Winterland. And I love this. Papa John Creach added so much to the Airplane's sound and Hot Tuna's when he was with them. His eerie tone made their acid rock sound that much edgy and psychedelic, plus he got an A+ when it came to playing the blues.
