Before Tom left the band they experimented with lineup changes.\u00a0 I seem to remember a second guitarist, with Erik still playing drums too, but I could be wrong.\u00a0 For me personally, this was as dark period for the band.\u00a0 The songs seemed to slow down, the guitar solos seemed to get longer, and I heard that someone was listening to a lot of Steve Miller!\u00a0 I remember one show in the Entry with one of them wearing a cowboy hat.\u00a0 That was it for me.\u00a0 My love for the band didn’t really change, but I had to stop seeing them live at this point. \u00a0 It wasn’t as fun any more, and I was way too critical of them.<\/span> <\/em> <\/span>

At their core, the PB’s were a power trio.\u00a0 Yes, its true that they started as a 4 piece (with Erik playing guitar and someone else playing drums…Brian maybe…damn that was a long time ago??), but for me, the attempt to go back to four was a failure. \u00a0 They were ultimately at their best as a three piece, and the CD, I think proves that point.\u00a0 Scott never agreed with me….at least not openly.<\/p>\n

For those that don’t know, I’m a long time friend of Scott.\u00a0 Scott even played once with my crappy band before he got involved with the Dellwood kids.\u00a0 I helped record a few of those early PB demo tapes, and at one time planed to release an awesome PB’s live show that I had recorded in the 7th St. Entry.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That never happened for one reason or another.\u00a0 A solid decade later, I did finally edit it down and master it, but at this point only Scott & I have copies of it (and I hear he’s lost his).\u00a0 One of these days I’ll get around to posting it because it really is an awesome document of the power of this band.<\/p>\n

More pb’s Monday!<\/p>\n

\nI found this old footage in storage. I was drumming in the PB’s for a short time, commuting back and forth from Winnipeg and Minneapolis. Almost 20 years ago!<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
