BOC 40th Celebration

[Steve Swann]

Well, I don't remember people walking out, but it was my first rock & roll
show so I was all starry eyed.  I remember that Joe played a freaking bass
solo that brought the house down, to this day me and a couple of the
friends I was with still remember it as one of the coolest and most unique
things we've seen in our concert going experience.  The funny thing is, the
one time I met Joe, I told him that, and he seemed kinda shocked that
anyone remembered that, or had taken note of it!
