The Tubes were a huge influence on me growing up. I heard the Tubes Now when I was in junior high and then moved on to enjoy their entire catalog. Young and Rich has some great sounding cuts. I bought some white label promos of Now and Y&R recently on Ebay and they were the worst taken care of vinyl I have ever bought.

What do you want from live definitely warped my sensibilities. I can't remember exactly why (maybe it was a photo contest for fantasy bands?) but In High school some friends and I set up a Tubes like Rock stage in my garage, making huge platfform shoes and wrapping myself in aluminum foil for a photoshoot.
Saw them spring '76 at the Orpheum in Boston for the first album tour. Mondo Bondage was a higlight as was White Punks On Dope complete with falling amp stacks and Fee wearing Quaylude glasses.

Quite memorable indeed.
A Prarie Prince question:

Both the Tubes and Todd Rundgren are playing So Cal shows on July 5. PP is listed as the drummer in both bands. Anyone know who'll be on the drums at these shows?
