Surrealistic Pillow & Volunteers several times, Baxters, CoC, and Bless a couple times, I bought those and Worst Of new, but not day 1 lol. Bark & LJS I got used vinyl copies when I was working part-time in a record store, but I think I dumped them before ever playing. 30 Seconds was always in the cut-out bins, but I never bought it. Bark and LJS I'll always love... the end basically, some excellent songs on them. 30 secs is respectable. How did an arguably top 5 rock bass player of all time emerge from that band then?

I never saw any advertisement, but this Jorma-head somehow found out about it, so we drove down from Purdue. It was underneath some establishment, felt like a bingo hall. They had about 100 folding chairs set-up, and Jorma played an acoustic set right in front of us, no amps, no mics IIRC. My memory is hazy, but I remember it being pretty good while Jorma-head was really loving life. Edited November 4, 2019 by Rico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting you selected Miracles, while not the Airplane its close enough. The Red Octopus album really isn't bad at all, its what happened After that which became horrible.

I like both those better than anything on Red Octopus (zzzzz). I remember watching AAU track & field as a kid on Sundays back in the only-5-channel days and for the opening, they would play the riff from She Has Funny Cars, that was pretty good.
