Was wondering about how Jet came off in a live sense ..ah well.
Black Oak Arkansas ... being old and having that thirty two years of
concert attending under my belt I can WITHOUT A DOUBT back you up on
BOA! That band were great. Even when they markedly becaming YET
freakier and freakier. When one of the original guitarists split for
example and they enlisted Lil Jim ...forget the guy's last name.
(Big)Jim Dandy Mangrum would run around w/his own personal 'mini me' on
his shoulders ... but it was 76 and it was high school and it was great
... all was okay w/the world back then.
Tommy Aldridge on drums ...yes!
A year later ... same deal when we saw Bon running around w/Angus on
his shoulders and let out a collective "HMMMMMMM!?!?!!?"
