My first concert of this Finnish surf phenomenon, four years too late (am I stupid, and my Brother, too)! They were back in Finland after very a successful tour to Antoine's of Austin and other cool rock venues of U.S. This was during "the Space Age".The audience was held out of the main hall of Tavastia until the begining of the gig, and why? The band had built an another stage in the middle of the floor, a spaceship. Our crowd were standing in front of them, on the same level. Mikko, Tomi, Janne and Matti came straight down from Earth's Orbit, wearing their space outfits. Guitars and organs from outer space! We all went ballistic...
The last encore was the mark of the genius, Mikko's bravure "The A-Treatment", which offered intensive twanging of his Jazzmaster's tremolo bar, low E tuned to D. Just after the wall of sound faded, I rushed to him, and that was it!
