We're really excited about playing this show with George Lynch and Lynch Mob and Chris Poland's OHM! Check out Lynch Mob’s website at: http://www.georgelynch.com/index.html and Chris Poland's OHM at: www.chrispoland.com If time allows, Brain Salad will be debuting a short version of 'Pictures at an Exhibition' at this show.

Next up, Led Zepagain, featuring Swan Montgomery, the Ultimate tribute to Led Zeppelin. Brain Salad finished the night. It was a bit tough to hear on stage, but it's rock and roll. You smile, have a good time and realize you could be doing something far less rewarding. 14 Below is an excellent club up in Santa Monica and we look forward to seeing you there again soon. A special thanks to Jimmie D. , the club's promoter for bringing ELP's music up to Santa Monica and Tarzana.
