Although this promo was made in 1995, the song is from their 4th LP, which was released in 1970...

used to partay with them,lee michaels,santana,hot tuna,blue cheer,tower of power,(quicksilver at antioch fairgrounds) and few other notables back in the day in the bay area............I still have a few autographed albums from a bunch of the bands somewhere.Got a autographed set of drum sticks from frosty (lee michaels drummer) when they played before led zeppelin at kezar stadium in 73' I think..Still in half body cast then..Zepp let a bunch of white doves loose then or else I was "seeing" things from "drinkin the electric wine"..LOL

I always liked Lee Michaels... saw him at the Palm Springs Pop Festival in 1969 (they had to carry Frosty off the stage... ) and he ended up being the drummer in a local band that played around here during the late 70's/early 80's.

I loved going to see these these guys!! (that's Frosty in front on the cover)

('Alice' was kinda their signature song,
and they would throw Pink Panties in the audience sometimes!!)


Frosty did the lead vox on this song:

Led Zepp puts their spin on a Spirit song...

"From the legendary 1969 Fillmore stand on tour supporting their first album. opening for Spirit on that tour Led Zeppelin gave the ultimate compliment of adding Fresh Garbage from Spirit's eponymous 1968 album."

Led Zeppelin put out this song in 1975, and 20 years later, Kevin Gilbert (another local musician) does an incredible version of it with his band, Thud...

Sadly, he passed away just about a year after this performance...
one more loss of a talented musician before his time!!




Kevin gave his then-girlfriend, Sheryl Crow, her start in one of his previous bands, Toy Matinee.
(if you look closely, you can see her playing keyboards in the background, up against the wall... LOL!!)

I guess this was my last post on the thread. Good luck everyone! This has been so much fun (and lots of great music!).

I think I still have that exact same one... LOL!!

I never use it because I enjoy cooking too much, and it never made sense to just throw it all in a pot and leave it alone to cook by itself... that takes all of the fun out of it!!

 

[JoanJ]

I have started using mine again. It has been years but now the guys have decided they like kahlua pork and doing it in the crock pot is so much easier and always turns out great. With the parents here and all the running I have to do for them, I can just turn it on and forget about it.
