Sgt. Pepper Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Damn. I love the first two Tubes albums. Remote Control and Completion Backwards is good too. WPOD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvillRob Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I have a friend who played with the Tubes back in the 80's, (Gary Cambra). Also, my good friend Robert Gross is their current tour manager, (does sound for them also). Robert posted photos of him and Rick together a few days ago. Earlier this year, Robert asked me if I wanted to come to their sound check in Sacramento....I said OK... then contacted Gary to see if I mentioned his name, if I'd get rocks thrown at me! He said I shouldn't mention his name to Fee, but Prairie and him are still good friends, (I ultimately decided to not go). Very sad. Although I'm not a great fan of The Tubes, they are talented musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
