Well, it could apply equally to both, but in this case I was referring
to getting the SFG CD - sure, it doesn't sound exactly like BOC, but for
the fan, a great collectible, and an insight into the band's formative
years.

But I'd also have to agree about OYFOOYK - a fantastic live album that
really captured early BOC (come to think of it, listening to "Subhuman",
you can hear those early psychadelic influences from the time period
when the band was the Stalk-Forrest Group).  Although, it was "Some
Enchanted Evening" that changed my life - not necessarily because it was
better, but because it was my first BOC album (I bought it from a used
record store after someone told me that BOC had this song called
"Godzilla" - I was a huge Godzilla fan at the time).

It's a live album, that sounds, well, live.

Me too - this will be the first tBS gig in the greater Boston area I've
missed.  Unfortunately I've got some other family matters to attend to.

Come back to Boston soon Al!
