Saw these guys at the Spectrum and JFK stadium, at least six times. Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Angel….damn Lynyrd Skynyrd at JFK stadium. Its been a good life.
Just by way of correction, “Compared to What” was famously performed by Les McCann and Eddie Harris at the 1969 Montreaux Jazz Festival. But is was not written by them. It was written by Eugene McDaniels. Too bad the fantastic video of the performance has been removed online. But the music speaks for itself. Great review of the song and its history at http://www.popmatters.com/features/030328-iraq-neal.shtml

Late to the party as usual. Believe it – someday you too will go to bed at 10pm on a Saturday night. These guys do when they get a chance.
I have to try this out. Thanks, Boo.
