Not sure it would be the same with five guys trying to play so much music.
 They would have to have a lot of tape in the background.  I'd prefer to see
it as well as hear it.  Like Hawkwinds Chronicles put it on stage.  The
other part of the equation is that Al would have top be part of the picture
to make this work.

July 31, 1995, opposite results.  Bigger Beck fan the Carlos (only slightly
though) but Carlos dusted Beck down here.

Bummer.  Best show of the summer.  One drawback was that Beck opened and
Carlos invited Jeff to join him.  Beck wouldn't for some reason.  Though at
the second (8/1) show local boy Nils Lofgren jammed with Carlos.  Always go
to the second show.
