I must interject here, I respect your opinion of this album, but honestly
as live material goes, this is one of the better ones.  There are many here
who like this one, myself included.  I agree that Q,S,aC isn't as good as
the original, but take it on it's own merit, it is quite enjoyable.
If Brock was a musical "burn-out" he would still be doing these songs in
the same manner they were written.

I beg to differ.  I feel that Electric Tepee is a bit innovative.  Mind you
not the entire thing, but quite a bit of it.Space Bandits is too, mind you
I personally do not care for most of it, it is different than anything else
they were doing.

Lost in Space,
Duane
