"This can't be today ... and it's not. Hard to believe that it's been 10 years since I made this recording by jacking into the soundboard. The Rain Parade had been to town just a few months earlier as a 4 piece sharing the bill with Absolute Grey. During that visit I cemented a friendship with Steven and Matt that continues gracefully to this day. That night started with Matt sitting in my living room, pontificating on how psychedelic music alters the mind, then vibrantly discussing a Human Hands LP he spotted in the corner, all the while strumming some vintage guitar we'd found in a pawnshop... and ended with one of the Rain Parade roadies passed out naked next to a clothed member of Absolute Grey. I'll leave it to you to guess which one. OK, back to the night you're listening to now. For this visit, the Rain Parade were now a 5-piece and sharing the bill with the Long Ryders. The Ryders played a hot set taken mostly from their recent Native Sons LP and then the Rain Parade did their mind-expanding cycle of Emergency Power Trip in the Glass Palace songs including a rare performance of the song Crashing Dream which never made it to the album of the same name. The whole million-dollar bash was capped off with drunken club owner Don Scorgie prompting the bands back on stage. This resulted in a super jam with the Rain Parade, most of the Long Ryders, and a few of Rochester legends the Chesterfield Kings tagging along for the ride on some Neil Young and Velvet Underground covers. I was too young to trip at the Fillmore West, but at least I was able to see the greats of my own generation".
