Absolutely great band. I thought 'Red Sails in the Sunset' was their
last really great album, although 'Diesel and Dust' has some great
tunes, too.
First caught them when '10...1' came out and they appeared on Alan
Thicke's late night talk show(!). Other guests that night where the
LA Rams cheerleaders (that tells you how long ago this was) and when
they did the song 'Read About It' they had covered the stage with
crumpled newspaper. Garrett – who is at least 6'5", skinny and bald –
is thrashing about the stage singing and at some point starts
lighting pieces of the paper on fire. At one point a stage hand has
to come running on stage because the newspaper is catching fire...
great performance... check it out on YouTube...
