Hey Ira,
Did they do "Expecting To Fly" by the Buffalo Springfield? They were working
on that during the soundcheck for the Cleveland show but Anton put his foot
down and said they weren't ready. BTW - the bassist on the tour is John
Chumbris whose band Glory Fountain put out a wonderful disc a couple of
years back.
