   Agree with SY.  Would have been a great single Lp. As with JG.     
   Even though I enjoy the F&E years the Fillmore 1917 album would have been a   
   great show to see but when is the last time you listened to it all the way   
   thru?  "The Groupie Routine"...not so funny the 3rd time through.   
   Still do not like: TOU, CPIII, JFH, TMFU(the album he recorded for the Beavis   
   & Butthead crowd). His Guitar solo albums.....even BTHW....to much dated   
   material.....are TV preachers even on TV anymore outside of TBN?..it would be   
   like listening to a Bing    
   Crosby album back in the 1960's listening to him mock out F.D.R.!   
   And while we are on the topic most of his '88 Tour stuff is unlistenable...Oh,   
   the parts where his band actually plays music is O.K. but dated political   
   humor isn't.  Who even recalls who J. Everett Koop is?
