it's not a question of IF you saw them, it was how many times.
Frat parties, Y-Beach, National Guard Armory, local bars, and countless other places around campus and in the area. Seems like once a month they played somewhere local. I can't begin to count how many times I saw them.
Never been a band like them before or after. Too funky for rock radio, too R&R for R&B radio.
Wasn't aware an entire concert from that era existed. About an hour all total.

I'm not sure how many times I've actually seen them, but they had a nice little run as an opener at shows in The Palladium at Carowinds for a brief time.
