This is a little off the interviews I've read.  I think Pete hit Roger with 
the guitar in that session and the roadies were holding Roger back.  Pete 
said "let him go" and tried to hit Rog, but ended up in the hospital 
instead.  Report from a Pete TV interview: "I woke up about four hours later 
with short term memory problems."  Interstingly, Roger said just recently 
that Pete had broken his shoulder with the guitar whack.

>For my money, it was a disasterous choice.
Mellow, chick-band sound just didn't gell well with the band that was known 
as a "wall of sound".  Don't you think?

I'd like to hear them rework some of the FACE DANCES songs live with Zak on 
drums.  A couple of them are really great songs, and deserve some exposure.  
I would definitely like to hear them go back to something more like the live 
version of "How Can You Do It Alone?"  Didn't like the way the studio 
version turned out at all.
