Good band, I was lucky to see them in the hey day in Hawaii.
I’ve seen them a bunch of times in crazy venues, the best one being a WV roadhouse.
I showed up with a huge 35mm camera and casually positioned myself on the stage with them.
They must have thought I was “press” or something because no one threw me off the whole gig.
Wound up sitting on Buck’s Marshall stack while they all mugged it up for me.
A few years later, after playing Sturgis, they got “big” again and stopped playing roadhouses and county fairs.
One of those memories you’ll carry with you forever, really.
First time though was the Cap Centre, right at the end of the lasers and giant Godzilla behind the drum riser era.
Eric roaring onstage on his Low Rider was a trip.
I think it was the Fire Of Unknown Origin tour.
When they did Veteran Of The Psychic Wars, they brought an Oyster Cult dude out in chains and he played the kettle drum.
It was awesome.
