    What? Why does everyone shoot this cassette down? How 'bout "I Can't
Explain" and "The Kids Are Alright"? Do you know how great it is to have
these vintage promos? My only major complaints about WBWB are the slightly
fast speed and the premature ending of "Magic Bus".

    If you don't have the "30 Years Of Maximum R&B" yet, get it. You won't
be disappointed. Also, a little more difficult to get is the "Isle Of Wight"
concert from Aug '70. (It's available from Japan on laserdisc). Then, of
course, there's the 25th anniversary Woodstock movie with "My Generation"
and the widescreen version of the original. Maybe you know, but, should I
bother mentioning "Rolling Stones Rock'n Roll Circus" from Dec '68?

   One of the reasons Pete started with the boiler suit was it's baggy
nature easily hid the kneepads he had started to wear. He wore it from
1969-'70.
