The Power Band
Submitted by doc on Fri, 03/07/2014 - 14:14
One of the most entertaining and musically strong bands I've ever experienced -- and hours of life-on-the-road stories that boggle the mind, with narrative roots in gigs from downeast Maine to the Canadian border to Greater Boston, Central Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont.
Many hours of live-from-the-mixing-board recordings exist, but too many to post and, given the technology available to us in the early-to-mid 80's, a lot of them are not of the most pristine sound quality. All existing recordings are available burned to CD for the die-hard Power Band fan.
