Tommy Hall dressed rather nice! Even in '67 when the other wore Paisley shirts and beads.
Let me take you to the empty place in my Fire Engine!
Great stuff.
I've heard some pretty disastrous live performances of theirs. I mean, so bad that they couldn't even play their own songs.
13th Floor Elevators?
Yeah. I always thought the Doors were a tad ramshackle.
Yuca, do you have an approximate date on that pic?
No idea beyond the obvious i.e. 50s or 60s. However I have just requested further info on the site it's on (Unlocking Clave on FB).
(That's Barretto on conga and TP on timbal, and Barretto played in TP's band before going solo, however that is not really relevant as he could easily have jammed with his former employer in later years.)
Let me know if they provide a more exact date. In any event, lots of good stuff to look at in the pic.
Definitely. The gent on cowbell is Santitos Colón, who sang lead on many of TP's best tunes (and recorded elsewhere besides).
2nd left has got the look nailed (I recall telling him that at the time).
