I've considered buying their new CD but have put it off. Maybe I will after reading your positive review. My feeling is they never had quite the same sound after Dan Peek left the group in the mid-seventies.<BR/><BR/>I went to a concert they gave in Missoula, Montana in 77 or 78. Honestly, it was one of the worst concerts I've ever seen. Bad sound, short set (under and hour). The problem with living in the boonies of America (the country) is that when a band comes here, they sometimes bring their 'B-Game' (aka--they just phone it in rather than giving their best). Such was the case. I was quite disappointed. I really enjoy their music.<BR/><BR/>On a lighter note, I saw another band in Missoula, Montana last October. Their name--The Rolling Stones. Those guys brought their A-Game!! What a great show. I will never forget it. They played long and hard for two solid hours in a college football stadium at the base of a mountain, under a full moon. It was magic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
