Absolutely. I saw them at the Ratskeller (sp?) at Squaw Valley in 1982.
It was some kind of warm up gig or something like that, but still a
great show.
A few years back I happened to be in Minnesota and saw that they were
playing at the Taste of Minnesota (on a Sunday morning!) so I went
out for that. They were pretty late getting on; the person I was with
said something snotty like "I guess we'll be practicing our WAITING
skills now, huh??" This started a conversation with the guy standing
in front of us, who happened to be Roger the guitar player's brother
and lives in Minnesota. Nice guy, and when they eventually did come
on it was great as usual, even though there wasn't much of a crowd.
