God save "The Floor Models"!!!!!
Those were some great shows at "The Other End".
Any chance of a live recording of "Popular Culture" existing?

Nice job, stevie.
I vote for "Hearts in Her Eyes" next. :-)
One of my all-time favorite Flo Mo performances. There were also some killer Kinks tunes in the set as I recall . . . . AP
But AP:
Live "Popular Culture"? I believe it was never demoed.

Hey, ROTP, I am just enough of a pack rat that it might yet turn up. - AP
Excellent, please look when you get the energy and the chance.

That Nimels guy really kicks out the jams on this.
(And is that the "Redding" bass that Grahame illegally sold to me pictured in the photo?)
There is a little Flestones vibe to it...
GB, did you really have to mention Patti Smith's armpit hair? I was having such a nice day. Seriously, I know she is punk priestess pioneeress and all that, but Patti Smith ruined this song for me (and she nearly ruined So You Want To Be A Rock'n'Roll Star also), but Steve, I mean, Sleeve, saved it. - AP
Any guy who can't deal with a little female underarm hair is a sissy, not fit to associate with real women.
Anyway, a year after this clip, I make my first trip from the great white north of the Finger Lakes to the Bottom Line. Richard Thompson is making his first post-Linda tour. His opening act plays some kick-ass tunes, but he really comes alive during a version of "Gloria" that lasts for about 10 minutes or so. During his rap we find out that "she knocks on my door...ooh, yeah, she knocks on my door...yeah, she knocks on my door...she got a knock just like Al Jackson, Jr. ...." He also walks out onto one of those tables perpendicular to the stage halfway down, hands the person sitting in front of him his guitar pick, and indicates when she should strum while he fretted. It was absolutely crazy, and T-Bone Burnett was only the opening act! Looking it up at the Bottom Line website, it seems that T-Bone's buddy Warren Zevon showed up for the previous night's show...damn!
