Yes, you are right. Yoshida was the name by which he was introduced. Thanks
for jogging my memory.

So what do Ruins sound like?

I guess it was him, but he looked different somehow. Maybe because AMT had
abandoned their usual black outfits in favour of more garish garb,
presumably as a nod to Gong. To be honest, the "wackiness" of some of the
outfits and onstage antics was actually a bit cheesy at times- the only
aspect of the gig I didn't enjoy.

I forgot to mention that the Acid Mothers Gong performance was clearly
being videotaped, so expect to see this released at some point. It would
make an amazing live album.
