Bill,
The Tubes at "The Channel", Boston Massachusetts sometime in 1986/7 Thanks for the memory!
My timeframe is vague now, but the experience is fresh in my mind.
My brother and I put way to many beers on the stage in front of you! We were thinking that it was like an offering to a god!
Boston requests your presence again! Best regards, Scott
