My old friend Tony Lucido sent me this video this morning and said “good band”
Ann Wilson - Dream On (Live)

Indeed it was…there was about a year period where that band could play with ANYBODY…but then of course the “great disillusion” set in, fueled by lack of corporate funding , and it all went to hell in a handbasket…but I still have very fond memories of being in a band that was literally tighter than a gnat’s ass..good times

Ann’s vocal on this absolutely live recording is fucking transcendant
