Today's blog is about a band that I thought would definitely not be performing anymore. After doing some research for today's blog I see that they are alive, well and performing around the world!

They formed in 1972 and in 1975 Al Kooper produced an album for them. The album did very well, they toured and were a little like Saturday Night Live with a mix of Firesign Theater comedy.

The stage show was a bit bizarre. Drugs and porn were referenced frequently in their costumes.

Fee Waybill and his character Qualude, was a big part of the stage show. He had huge hair and a guitar shaped like the letter Q.

Enjoy a look at this bizarre show that I photographed at the Uptown Theater in Milwaukee on October 9, 1975.

Thanks,
