In Season 2 Episode 2 we look at 3 fabulous pieces of music. The first being from the Beacon Theater in NYC on 6.14.1976. This piece has a Cosmic Charlie, played for only the 2nd time in 5 years, the 1st time since 1971 was only 10 days before this show! That follows with a very solid Help>Slip>Frank. Next we stay in NYC but we jump ahead to 1990 and at the World's Most Famous Arena...Madison Square Garden. September 18th was the date and the band had taken on 2 new members to replace Brent; Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby were in full effect on this sweet Eye>Estimated>Foolish Heart. Vince is coming into his own and Bruce makes himself right at home with some dominant keystrokes. The final piece is an odd combination but some stellar playing makes it worthwhile. From the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, December 1, 1979 it's early Brent showing his chops on a fantastic He's Gone into a way out Gloria Jam into the 1st ever CC Rider. This one was one of my earliest finds and I am thrilled to share it with all of you. Enjoy and we'll have another episode out soon.
