I have every Tubes album on LP and still listen to them hand6.gif
The only Tubes CD's I have are the first one (Mobile Fidelity version, awesome sound!), the TRASH compilation, and the one without Fee, "Genius of America". The last one isn't bad, and I saw them on that tour too at a small club right here at home. The best part was spending 15 minutes talking with Prairie Prince (I am a drummer and he is one of my all time favorites), he is a real nice guy.
I wanted to go see the New Cars on tour this past summer, Todd Rundgren in for Ric Ocasek, Kasim Sultan on bass for the deceased Ben Orr, and Prairie on drums. I heard the live disc, it is really good IMHO :) They kept me too darn busy at work, I never had the chance...
Cheers,
Griff
My God!! Someone who listens to albums!! I never had the pleasure of seeing the Tubes live. Must've been great to chat with Prairie. He is a great drummer!! I am also a drummer though not what I would deem as a trained drummer...
As for the New Cars... BLECH!! You CANNOT claim lineage to the CARS when the principles are not present. We know Ric and Ben were the heart and soul of the band and without them... well... no way, Jose. I wasn't aware Prairie was in for David Robinson on the drums. David was one of my heroes from his days in The Modern Lovers... I am a fan of that stripped down, on the 2s and 4s sound and taught myself to play listening to The Cars and Candy-O. Sounds like the New Cars are a couple members short of Utopia!!
JMHO and no offense intended... I love Todd but not in this guise!!
