Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Paul: I agree, not much to note on the above. I did think Harper was quite interesting (for that time) on "One Man Rock and Roll Band" esp. the sound of the 1687-5 coupled w/slapback echo. |

Location: Scotland | I did a bunch of gigs with Harper in the 80's when he was using a couple of Adamas for touring, a brown Ad1 and blue Ad11 if memory serves. He's a nice guy, but a total space cadet, off his face on hash 24/7. Couldn't get any sense out of him, and the gigs were trainwrecks. Fortunately his audiences were in a similar condition, so it didn't seem to matter to them. |

But the Dead made it an Art Form! 
I hadn't (knowingly) listened to Roy Harper's music. I like it!
That's the kinda style I strive for, unsuccessfully. :rolleyes: |
