mountain bed Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Well, as you know even though the Fillmore was much better known (and profitable) the Avalon was considered by the SF people to be the true "hippie church'. Chet Helms ran the place and to say their attitude was laid back would be a gross understatement. edit: It's definitely worth having Aman. I couldn't help but notice it says "Volume 1". Let's hope the title bodes well for the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let's hope the title bodes well for the future.Needless to say I concur, despite the somwhat thoughtless packaging. It is so freaking fun to iisten to, but as I have said here so many times, today's musicians could play rings around these guys, but none the less they were the first generation (not of country music, but of country rock) and anything by them is worth listening to. Amoeba has done us a great favor as do all the reissue groups finding obscure recordings to promote. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Is Gram's daughter mentioned anywhere in the liner notes? It is my understanding that she controls the estate now. LB, have you seen that BBC documentary - I sent it to MB a while back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
