DimeTravel 083 ::: Hats off to the original taper & trader! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Well, if you lived out in Berkeley in the late 70's you mighta seen these guys play in the one of the parks, or local clubs, or even gone to some of their house parties. This was the end of the road, but, even though the audience mighta been sparse (too early in the evening I reckon), it was one of the crown jewel gigs for the band, having played from San Francisco to North Carolina, but finally playing New York City at the mighty CBGB's. Bittersweet to be sure as the drummer was already really sick & about to leave the mortal coil & didn't know it but for some 6th sense. "Imagine No Arms" takes it all where it oughta be. We should still be listenin'. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
