    Canned Heat • Friends In The Can

    This is from the current line-up, post 2000?

    With "Fito", still playing as the long-time1960's CH drummer?

    I haven't listened to any of their newer albums.

    Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra replaced John Cook, to become
    Canned Heat's third drummer in March 1, 1967 when they opened
    for The Doors.

    Fito was still with the band for this album. I’m a big fan. Check out Boogie 2000

    BTW, If you can find this version of the first release, it is among the best sonically.

    We have to add a tariff era surcharge, but still the best deal in town!

    Bang • S/T

    Another album I had and haven’t seen in 20+ years. I found the reissue at a new to me record shop. Fat Hippy Records.

    I saw Bang open for Pentagram in Burlington, Vermont. We interviewed both bands and did a 3-camera video shoot as well recorded audio from the board AND ambient. We gave the audio to Pentagram and some of those tracks wound up on a live album. :P

    Here's Bang doing "The Queen".

    The last half of this concerto has some amazing solo harpsichord work.
