The Tubes

"What Do You Want From Live" offers a good feel for what they were all about... which is a rock based comic musical theater of sorts. Often very funny and still rockin'. Think Meat Loaf meets Weny O Williams for an evening of pot and beer.

BTW, the band was pretty good, but the drummer, Prarie Prince, has moved on to other projects touring with, among others, Todd Rundgren and The New Cars.

Ghost Rider,

Are you sure PP died? I saw the smokin' band Todd R put together for last fall's mini tour with Jesse Gress, PP and Kasim Sultan. The set was Nazz like blues/rock and PP was all over it. I'd have thought his death would have been pretty widely reported on the TR sites I follow. Also, a quick google didn't reveal any obits and all the bios I found seem to refer to him in present tense. If true, it's a real loss and very sad.

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?
