    An X fan!

    I havent tried the new album

    Their first three were in heavy rotation back in the day

    Saw X at a local festival in 85, methinks

    Then they played at the zoo across the street a couple to three years back and they rocked

    And a few years before that

    4th album took me a while to warm up to

    Love X (well, the earlier stuff in particular)

    "Smoke & Fiction," the evidently final album from X. And it's the best thing they've done since "Under the Big Black Sun."

    I've loved those guys (and gal) since I first saw them back in 1977. They were already unbelievable then. Great to see that they managed to write an excellent batch of songs for this final record, and play with every bit as much fury as they had back in olden days.

    10/19/73 for me - the mighty Dicks Picks 36. One highlight you don't hear much about is Jerry's guitar solo on "They Love Each Other".

    Marquee photo is Bill Graham playing cowbell after being dosed (I think a Fillmore West show). Search Bill Graham Cowbell and a red dit thread comes up that has a cropped photo with Pigpen singing and Bill on cowbell on side of stage. Edit - now I'm reading that at 2/11/69 shows Mickey gave Bill a cowbell to commemorate the earlier dosed show event (exact date unknown). And that the photo could be Bill playing the gifted cowbell on 2/11/69 and not a photo of him at the show where he was dosed. An enigma wrapped in a mystery.

    Yes I know he isn’t mooning. I don’t guarantee it but the picture looks like contemporary pics of Bill Graham from the internet. You have to fight through many photos of Billy Graham and an apparently pro wrestler Bill Graham. The hair style looks right. Anyone know for sure?

    Edit Posted this before I saw the PROUDFOOT reply.

    It is indeed Bill Graham with his "more cowbell"

    Wishing you good health

    Heart failure is obviously heavy stuff

    Y'all be cool.
