YVW, Mrs. Lix...if Guess Who had 5 members, that means Randy had already left...he was replaced by 2 guitarists whose names seem to be in a lost brain cell...I got to see Bachman-Turner Overweight...oops, I mean Overdrive in June '72, just before they started hitting it big, along with Charlie Daniels Band at the same stage of his career...Foghat was the reason me & my buds were there, & the assholes didn't play...recently heard a local DJ who was at the station promoting the show at the time relate his memories of the backstage action, seems Foghat didn't care for the crowd, leaving BTO & CDB to debate over who would go on first, which led to Randy & Charlie scuffling, weighing in at 200-300 lbs. apeice, with scrawny lil Coyote McCloud (the DJ) getting between them to try to break it up...well, I think it's a funny image...
Another set of brain cells gone AWOL on the words to "Charity Ball," Hell it's been 30 years since I heard it, & I didn't know there would be a quiz seem to recall the chorus going something like...
"Dance...ooo...groove...ooo...move...to...Charity Ball!"

and the only verse I remember went

"Get the musicians ready,
& get them good & hot,
Good & hot, oooo,
Dance to the music
& give it every thing you've got,
you've got my number..."

Now you've got me wanting to hear it again, guess I'll have to check out my fav download sites (shh, don't tell the recording industry)...
