BRAIN: The Surgeons in Raleigh

[Scruton, Jason]

>Wow - so does Deb do the "Joe Bouchard bass break" at the end of tR&tB?

I loved the 5 guitars version of the end of the tune way back when.  She
probably did do the cool bass break. she's definitely building up her guitar
chops.

I wonder if they would have better luck getting a gig in Mass. version of
liberal college's  Mecca and Medina: Amherst and Northampton -- the Iron
Horse is a cool place as a venue itself and for its acts. The Bevis Frond (a
great gig that! did "Godspeed you to Earth" w/a  wonderful heavy jam ending)
and Robert Fripp have played there (separately).

Of course, you could always have tBS operate in the manner of the
Steppenwolf album title, "The Brain Surgeons at Your Birthday Party" heh.

What is probably one of the best things about the Surgeons is that they are
very willing to shuffle setlists around each tour/gig. Seriously, who would
have thought they'd do an SFG tune!

Say hello to Mr. Cottonmouth,
