- share this amusing excerpt with Albert - it's from THE FILLMORE EAST
(Recollections of Rock Theater) by Richard Kostelanetz (Schirmer Books/ Simon
& Schuster-MacMillan):
Soft White Underbelly: 2/2/68 - Yiddish Anderson Theater.
"In spite of their marvelous name, this is a rather undistinguished group
that appeared not to know what to do with themselves for most of the concert.
A tall pretty fellow, in an antique costume placed himself on the stage where
the lead singer belongs, but he hardly sang, in one piece playing saxophone
instead. The group's leader appeared to be a pint-sized guy, dressed in a
cossack shirt, who is enormously adept on guitar. Either they were missing
something on the evening or I was."
