These are two of the last jam bands left. Average song length was about 10 minutes. Carlos and his boys reached the pinnacle a number of times. Black Magic Woman, Incident at Neshabur, Jingo, and Tousssaint L'Overture were particularly awesome.

I saw Carlos on his 65th birthday in AC a few weeks ago. He's still got the chops - in a big way.

Hey man, where do you live that you were hanging at Merriweather? Or did you just drive in for the show? Grew up approximately 4.5 minutes away from there. SPent a summer working at Merriweather, too, actually caught the Alman Brothers (but unfortunately not Sanatana).

Drove from NOVA but grew up in College Park and most of my concerts in the '70s were at Merriweather.

Are you THE Edwin Moses or just a fellow fan? I finally got your name when we talked track in the Hot Chicks thread.

No, not the Edwin Moses. But I am AN Edwin M. I ran track in high school (though not hurdles). The nickname was inevitable.

. I ran the half in high school. I was good back then. Wish I had that kind of speed now.

Looking forward to the track and field.

4x100; 4x200; long and high jump for me. Lots of down time to cultivate my appreciation for the female track athlete form.

Yeah. I'd run the half and then flirt the whole meet until the 2-mile relay ... last event. We had a pretty cute manager too.

That's exactly how I phrase it to other people ... the female track athlete form. Nice.
