Lucus, what finally made me a "Deadhead" was when I saw them LIVE. Now to start, I saw them more than once when they pretty well SUCKED! A couple more times when they were so/so. However, Ive seen them quite a few times when they played, quite frankly, some of the best music Ive ever heard. I also always like to give a thumbs up to ANY group or band that hardly ever plays the same "show" twice. I mean, I saw these guys once play an amazing night of music. Then [when I was more into them] saw them only about 3 weeks later play an entire different line up of tunes just as well. If you never saw them on a "good" night, you cant know what you missed. & brother, you missed something in music that was uniquely incredible by them. I dont really know what they have to do with Tiki music excactly, I just know they are [were?] one of the groups of musical talent that I respect. Not because I have a tie die brain [I mean, I dont THINK I do!, what have you heard?!] Just heard em, dug em for the performance of music. Just like when I saw Jimmy Smith live at the old[pre yuppy] Light House! Or Buddy Rich live bla bla bla!!! KEY RIGHST THIS GUY CAN TALK!! ok, I'll shut up now.....Remy
