Gary,

I seem to remember DAM #2 (by your account) playing at JBs or someplace in 
Kent (the Rathskeller?) around 1974 or '75. Definitely Ron Ashton (hard to 
forget the Waffen SS uniform) and Niagra, but I'm not sure who else was on 
stage that night.

By the fifth song the show degenerated into an amps-on-11 wall of 
distortion, and not in an interesting way.
