Well, yes, they really did decline going in the 80's, right through into
the 90's.......but.......

Exactly, Antenna showed a new trend, and Rhythmeen really sorted it out.
Whaddabout the shows they did on the back of that?  Ooh!  On the Later
with Jules Holland show doing Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings, just like it
was meant to be!
I picked up a bootleg CD of a show they did in Hamburg about 4 or 5
years ago which marked the start of their return to roots.  All their
old stuff from the first 4 or 5 albums plus a couple of standards.  The
playing quality isn't as good as, say, Fandango, but it's groovy
nonetheless.  I remember reading a review of the gig in Kerrang! and the
reviewer had his socks knocked off.
I was amazed to find the CD.

And wasn't the whole Black Crowes thing aboput corporate sponsorship and
the fact that Miller Lite were shovelling wads of cash at the band and
demanding "Artistic Control"???

Chris.
