Can you imagine that these jams were never put on a record. This is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg.

Thanks for uploading this. It's amazing how much stuff is in the hands of collectors and other people that has not seen the light of day.

Just listened to the version of Crossroads. Anybody that says Michael Anthony wasn't much of a bass player should take a listen to that. He does a great Jack Bruce impression.

For me, this was just as good as listening to a couple of VH records.

That was awesome to listen to I could hear him talking to my buddy, Roy. Snyder, he was their sound engineer, and then David Lee Roth says we're done Roy.
