The young'uns will be going "Who?", but for what it's worth, they're appearing at the Bluewater on January 19th. Already got my tickets.

Yeah, I know that it's not gonna be ALL the original guys, but who is, anymore?

Great band ! Still listen to em. You're right about not all the original members though...basically a cover band now.

One of my favorites lol! I love 70's and 80's music, when it was real and everything was original...;)

There was a time that I could match them, chord for chord, word for word. I always said if their guitarist went down, I could step right in. I only played in public a couple of times in my life. Once was an impromptu concert of locals on a flatbed trailer at the Searchlight airport, Easter 1979, and the other was an open mic night at some bar in Memphis, '77. Both times I did Firefall songs. Strange Way, Cinderella, So Long, Someday Soon, were my usual go-tos.

Rick Roberts was the talent in that band and has had health problems for years which kept him from playing, he sang most of the stuff so it's his voice that will be missing.
The bass player player quit way back when and played for Heart when they made it big. I know,I know I'm a plethora of useless information. :)

A couple of the guys are friends of my buddy and the band played at his wedding here in Colorado. The singer also plays occasionally at Oskar Blues Brewery just for fun. Cool dude.
