Wow, I always thought that they ceased to be after Al Kooper left. They were always a bit to east-coast for my taste. .. :-) (Although the cover of "The Child is Father to the Man" was great.)

It's interesting that they credit as as inspiration for Chicago. Makes sense once you know that.

Wow, I had no idea. I only knew them from "Spinning Wheel" and "You Made Me So Happy", neither of which I particularly liked, so I never explored the band further. I was amazed to learn that Jaco Pastorius - the most gifted bass player ever - was in the band.

At some point it's no longer a band, it's light industry.

I've been laughing over this line ever since I read it this morning. I can think of a couple different bands you could say that about.

I love me some BS&T. "... and when I die, and when I'm gone, there'll be one child born, in this world, to carry on."

Yeah, I never really listened to them either.

But it's cool to think that in 1976 you could have seen a BST show with Jaco Pastorius playing bass and Mike Stern playing guitar. Whoa.
