The best songs were Montrose songs, and Bill "The Electric" Church played bass.

Don't get me wrong, I like Sammy and I personally think he gat a raw deal with Montrose. He wanted to play guitar, and Ronnie's ego at the time prevented that from happening. Still, that first album from Montrose and Sammy's vocals on it were just killer.

They just don't make bands like that anymore.

Good times at that venue.

sitting in line on the sidewalk. A bottle in a paper bag, a few joints and some good comany. Not a care in the world then. I "discovered" some good bands there. First place I saw a young Eddie Money, Little Feat and also the Tubes. I was there when one of the sides of Frampton Comes Alive was recorded there. Sat in the balcony behind the band. That show didn't even sell out, and after that album came out the guy was sellong out football stadiums.

Me and some buddies had got there way early and were just killing time hanging out. Some guy walked up to me and asked if we were waiting for the show, and when I replied that we were he asked if he could give me some 4way windowpane for "cuts" in line. There wasn't any line, it was just me and my buddies leaning up against a wall! Well my momma didn't raise me to be ungracious so I obliged and relieved him of his consumable and promptly partook. Needless to say that was a very trippy Yes concert I attended.

For some reason we missed that Frampton show. I was really bummed when I found out later that it was on that album. Cool that you got to see it!
