And how was that?

Ha it was actually pretty rad. It got pretty late and everyone was pretty drained. Never seen a band play that long before.

Sounds exhausting but I'd be willing to do that at some point.

For me the longest, 3 hours 45 minutes - Electric Hot Tuna. The was 3 hrs. 45 mins. no intermissions, no long winded how they wrote this song of that song, no what it was like to be in the Airplane. Just music. Just song after song after song. And it was all good.

Shortest, T.Rex at the Fillmore East. Thirty minutes tops. As the opening act to a packed house waiting to hear who they came to see, Mountain. 30 minutes and if they had played just one more minute thy might not have made it out of the auditorium. The audience was very tolerable but very anxious.

T.Rex as the opening act for Mountain? Seems opposite.

T. Rex never broke in the States. They had "Get It On" (which I still occasionally hear on local classic radio) but other than that I think they may have been a one hit wonder on this side of the pond.

That's unfortunate. 20th Century Boy should've been a hit here.
