The following was in reference to the first night at Merriweather:
 
>From The Washington Post of Monday, July 1, 1985.
> 
>          "Night of the Dead"
> 
>   The California sextet was not at its best last night as the tempos, solos
>and vocals tended to bog down from a lack of energy and direction.

Can't say that I agree with this guy, but then, music critics are 
usually wrong, anyway! This show was simply overflowing with cosmic
energy. 

Anybody have tapes? I'm up for a trade!
