Nice show I'll bet. Saw them up at the Civic Center in Balamer. Just finished Benefit before Aqualung. Time for some Feat.

Your taste in music screams DC area, early '70's.

Yep. The Peoples Republic of Takoma Park, Maryland circa 1968. First house on Tulip Ave with all tie-dyed curtains and a pack of Dalmations on the porch. I'm sure we have mutual acquaintances if we dug long enough. There were seven of us kids, the kind every parent warned about...Middle of the pack here. Good old MoCo.

I saw YES up there in the early 70's. I think Alice Cooper opened for them. Memory's a little fuzzy of them days.

Thanks for your comments.

I have the original release vinyl as well. Cover art by Christine Perfect. Station Man was written by two of the three unsung guitarists of the band, Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer. Over the decades was there a band with a better list of guitarists? Kirwan, Spencer, Bob Welch, Lindsey Buckingham, and the best of them all, one of the best of all time anywhere...Peter Green.

The guitar work on this song...understated and spectacurlar.

The first time the band had ever played "One More Saturday Night" was a few days before up at U of Minn. Nobody in the house had heard it before unless they had been at the show up in Minnesota...the house went nuts. We dropped the red microdots, while running downtown on Lakeshore Dr., it was quite a night.

Sounds like a helluva concert. Red microdots sounds interesting. I guess there weren't any barrels of Orange Sunshine up there in Chi-town? (grin)
