Red Shadow - Live at the Panacea Hilton
Physical Records, 1975.
I found this at Goodwill awhile back. From what I can tell these folks were a bunch of economics grad students and coffeehouse commies.
There is one funny ha ha tune on here called Understanding Marx (you can hear it
here - it's the January 6 entry). It sounds like Up With People but the words are good.
There are also some bad parodies of oldies tunes. Their version of the Beach Boys' Fun Fun Fun (Gone Gone Gone) goes like this:
"And they'll be gone, gone, gone, when the people take their power away."
So I was surprised to hear a song that actually rocks on here, but Stagflation sounds like some
Gizmos /
Penetrators proto-punk action with a dose of Flamin' Groovies. Pretty cool. There's even a nod to Lou Reed when the dude says "and the white girls say."
