      It’s miced up correctly, ran through the main board and adjusted accordingly.
      Cor van der Beek (RIP) does nicely on drums here, as usual.
      Mariska is using two mics taped together. One is for the onstage monitor mix, the other is connected to and mixed through the main board.
      Nothing high tech about it, it’s old school yet valid nonetheless.

We knew that Bananarama covered Venus but we decided to give the original a listen and before you know it, we were fans. One song to the next were ALL HITS. In our opinion at least. Butterfky and I, Never marry a railroad man, Postcard, Deamon Lover Etc Etc I couldn't believe that this band has not been consistently mentioned in the same breath as Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, The Yardbirds, etc etc... At least in america they aren't. These guys are HOF'ers. All Day. Such an underrated band.

      You mean that wig? It's not her real hair.

      @@MasthaX YES, the commenter meant HER BEAUTIFUL WIG that SHE HAD OWNED IT AS HERS AND WAS USING IT AS HER OWN HAIR. Eat your heart out, because we loved her hair the way it was.

    Everyone comments on Mariska. She was great, no doubt, but Robbie was the one that made this band. His awesome guitar playing, his songwriting. He wrote every one of those songs. Not only guitar but he was an all around musician. Played, guitar, mandolin, saxophone, harmonica, sitar, and no telling how many other instruments. The guy was extremely talented. Mariska was pretty, and sang…that’s it!
