They brought back the "original" rock n roll sound of the mid 1950s, with semi-accoustic guitars, slap bases and washboards, fun times I guess.

There was some spectacular dancing at the "live" shows, really acrobatic stuff (far cry from a mosh pit!!)

Wow, I danced to that later on. Not when it first came out. I'd spin my girl off and pull her back. Man that was pleasure. Seeing her skirt whirl out and then come back in.

Thanks rdy good memories.

I thank you for that compliment R2R. But, I am just a player. While I can play some things that others can not, well ones who do not practice. I am far from an expert. I am just able to understand the mechanics of certain things. And music is one of them

About the full sound. Most bands that are 3 piece. You have to do things that fill up the space, while you are on stage. I guess this is why I love Rush so much. And the other 3 piece bands, like. ELP, Stray Cats, Led Zep(before ya'll start, Robert only played the harmonica and even then he only played it on a couple of songs).

Then there is the Texas' favorite, ZZ Top. As I was saying though, these 3 piece bands had to fill the sound on stage. And while you can do a lot in the studio. If you sound like crap on stage you do not get record sales on the next album. Look at all of the bands that are 3 piece and look who is still selling records/cd's and concerts.
