One Dartmouth Weekend, probably Green Key 1969, Tracks was playing at Bones Gate and Fox Chase was playing at Tri Kap. Ed Malhoit was always trying to loosen Tracks up, get us to be more like rock stars and less like college educated musicians.
Ed called me to tell me to check out Fox Chase. While we were unloading our equipment and setting up, I saw their white van across the street so I went over and introduced myself to the drummer, Steven. He had a big smile and a was very friendly. We agreed to alternate set breaks so that we could check each others band out.
I can't recall which songs I actually heard later that evening but I remember Eddie playing a B3, Steven had an oversized (marching band) 26"bass drum and played a very funky rock groove. Fox Chase also had a flutist out front. I do not remember the guitarist(s) or the bass player. mainly, what sticks out in my mind was Stevens' personality, happy, open and all kinda "nice to meet you, I've heard of you guys, sure lets alternate"...no wonder he went on to be so successful with Aerosmith...he was easy to like.
We later jammed with the flutist, I want to say his name was David...does anyone remember?
