Yes, Great Show! Back when tickets were five dollars or less. Peter Wolf was dancing around with a foam guitar at one point and who could forget "Whammer Jammer."
When I was flipping channels one late night as a kid, I stumbled on them doing a very up-tempo version of this song on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. I had never heard of them but ran out and bought this record the next day. While this version has a hazy intensity, the version I heard was a frenzied scorcher - like the neighborhood man had moved from dealing heroin to coke. Sax solo was twice as long and one step from falling off the tracks. Incredible performance from brilliant players. It's a shame the Rock Concert catalogue has not been released - their set (amongst others) needs to be heard. They were on the same episode as Dave Mason, a tribute to Jim Croce and Jesse Colin Young, whose live version of T-Bone Shuffle had a pretty awesome sax solo as well.
Song written by Jon Mark - Off Album - " 73 "- Columbia Records - Recorded Live ( Mobile Unit) Studio West - San Diego, Ca. - Jon Mark - Guitar - Lead Vocals - Johnny Almond - Organ - Electric Piano - Tenor Sax - Background Vocals - Danny Richmond - Drums - Geoff Condon - Trumpet - Percussion - Alun Davies - Guitar - Percussion - Vocals - Wolfgang Melz - Bass - Bobby Torres - Congas - Percussion - Produced by Jon Mark & Bill Blue
You could easily play anything by Mark-Almond followed by or precdeded by Steely Dan and it would sound great. Too bad many of those Steely dan fans have no clue that Mark-Almond even exists. Mark-Almond were doing what Steely Dan became famous for years before Steely Dan even thought of the idea. And I hope no Steely Dan (who I like) fans say Steely had better musicians, because they don't get better than Jon Mark, Johnny Almond, Nicky Hopkins, Billy Cobham, Alun Davies & Tommy Eyre.
