I Love PG&E! I still have the vinyl. |

Yep that was one fine album. Had it on both 8-track AND 4-track (how many remember those, eh?). I was under the apprehension that PG&E had to change their name after some kind of bullshit lawsuit from the "real" PG&E. Oh, and speaking of the Real PG&E, when I was a kid, my buddy Waddy Tufford and I managed to sneak into the PG&E electric generating plant down near the Pacific Coast Highway in San Diego — right off of Broadway at about 2d Street I think, and stroll around for quite awhile until we found the employee's break room and started helping ourselves to the free sodas. I mean, it was really a cool place, all kinds of humming and crackling and huge signs saying "danger". Can you imagine that today? Aside from the SWAT folks shooting us, we'd be serving the rest of our teenage lives in durance vile and being cavity searched. Mr. Fixit, you do have an odd fixation with that cavity, don't you?  |

| Had they played Woodstock (as planned) and waited until the public caught up to "12 Dreams".
What might have been...

| Never gets old
|
| Just sending a little love Spirit's way.
|
| Listen to that crazy geetar squeeling in the background... wow!
|
| This song resulted in some frenzied dancing back around, mmm ...1970 on what I barely recall as the *best night of my life* - when the world was young.
|
| Covered by who-knows-how-many bar bands - good, old track.
|
| Agreed! But I have a version by Quick Silver Messenger from some festival that is a few beats slower but incredibly rocks. It is my fav version of this now. Willing to share if anyone wants it. d-don wrote: Classic. |

Ah yes, Pigs, Goats and Elephants. That's what we called it as kids. My mom still uses a recipe for Fudge Pie she got from their bills back in the 50's. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. And this song simply rocks. Got to see them live for the 12 Dreams tour. And Jo Jo Gunn a little later. |

| This one gets a 10 if only for the guitar solo, one of very few in my personal pantheon of "Solos Perfect for the Song."
