They were the first "big" band that played and it was right after Abraxus came out. It was a beautiful sunshiney day full of beautiful music, led by Santa's firey guitar and the latin beats. Awesome!

It was fun seeing Carlis, Gregg, & Michael together again.
After recruiting me for 4 or 5 months, the other 3 guys finally got me over to play together.
This song was the first song we ever did together. Without discussing it before we started, we broke into 3 part harmonies for the whole song.
After the uptempo jam at the end, and the song ended, nobody said a word.
Finally is asked "Was that as good as I think it was?" It was.
We went on to play over 1,600 gigs together over the next couple decades.
