          Early 70's for me.
          A guy I hung out with at the time got to be a roadie for the night setting them up at "Hammond Civic Center"
          Lot's of spill over concerts from Chicago went on there

          Saw them twice at the Cincinnati Coliseum back in the mid to late 70's. They put on a hellava show. Tres Hombres is my favorite album of theirs.

          RIP, Frank Beard and Dusty Hill.

                  She likes the art museum
                  She don't like Pavlov's dog
                  She's fun at the mind museum
                  She likes it in a London fog
                  She don't like other women
                  She likes whips and chains
                  She likes cocaine and flippin' out with Great Danes
                  She's about all I can handle
                  It's too much for my brain

                  It's got me under pressure
                  It's got me under pressure
                  Oh!

                    If you're down in Acuna
                    And you ain't up to being alone
                    Don't spend all your money
                    On just any honey that's grown
                    Go find the Mexican blackbird
                    And send all your troubles back home.

                    They all call her her, "Puta"
                    'Cause no one really knows her name
                    She works the cantina
                    Dancin' and a-lovin's her trade
                    Her mama was Mez'can
                    And her daddy was the ace of spades.

                    Oh, let's drive that old Chrysler down to Mexico, boy.
                    Said, keep your hands on the wheel there
                    Oh, it sure is fine, ain't it?
                    Now, ya got it
                    Hand me another one of them brews from back there.
                    Oh, this is gonna be so good.

                    She's hot as a pepper
                    But smooth as a Mexican brew
                    So head for the border
                    And put in an order or two
                    The wings of the blackbird
                    Will spread like an eagle for you.

                    Oh, one more time
                    Can you roll me another Bull Durham, please?
                    Can't you do it with one hand, boy?

                      It takes a lot for a drummer to fill the "space" in a 3-piece band. Frank Beard was able to do it without even look like he was trying. RIP Sir.
