As for the feedback, the instrument I was playing is a vintage Yamaha synth that Brent used in that era. It has a setting that allows me to create a feedback effect much like a guitar can. Brent used it often and can be heard on many shows between 83 and 87 sorry if it threw y’all;-) RB

12/30/85 was one of my favorite shows that I saw. First set was super fun.

Yes, that s what happen per my notes. I was texting song by song the set list with twisted comments live as it happen to our party line of friends down South, including Tea. Peace, Love, and Happy New Year Doc

8-29-83 - Silva Hall at the Hult Center > Eugene, OR (I) Shakedown Street, Minglewood Blues, Friend Of The Devil, Hell In A Bucket, Bird Song, It's All Over Now, Might As Well (II) China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider, Estimated Prophet-> Eyes Of The World-> Drums-> Space -> The Wheel-> The Other One-> Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad-> Johnny B.

We got one in DC at the Anthem. It was everything they said it could be,.... And then some. My hope is it gets in the rotation, like white rabbit has. Giddy up mother fucker!

You hope you stretched well if your only chances to rest a bit are the 3 slot and Space.

Definite issues with Rob’s guitar. I actually wondered at one point if it was intentional. Healy was known to mess with Bobby’s sound in the 80s. First set as I recall was Shakedown, Minglewood, FOTD, Bucket, Birdsong, Used To Love Her, Might As Well. Solid but Rob was definitely having gear issues. Second set was stronger. China>Rider, Estimated, Eyes, D/S. Unfortunately the feedback issues were not completely fixed. At some point in the Eyes jam Jeff definitely played a few lines from Moondance. Pretty cool that they then played It Stoned Me later. So I was told. Unfortunately we had to leave early. Promised our babysitter we would be home by midnight. Would love to hear a review post-space. First half of set two was excellent, well played, high energy but the feedback definitely detracted a bit. Hope they fix it for you guys tonight! Happy New Year everyone.

They played it a few times this fall, their first was at night three of the Capitol Theater run where they filled in for Phil.

Was the Low Spark a bust out? I’ve never seen them, nor heard them donut before. Headband was awesome on it. And the guitar effects from Jeff lit it up

what a night at the palace jeff mattson stole many many faces
