Great concert - but a trio? I'm hearing keyboards as well as bass here ... the girl introducing the band only knows Randy and Ed's names ...

Yep I noticed that, those two are the greater spirits...
The info I have refers a trio, Scott plays bass and keyboards.

Correct...they were on a ight budget, so the guy played both keys and "bass" on a keyboard (much like Ray Manzarek did in The Doors).

Interesting. I'm betting Scott didn't play keys as well as bass here.

Quote from that site re the following year:

"Due to the unavailability of Scott and Liberty to tour much out of the West Coast,

Randy and Cass employ professional "pick up" musicians to play bass and keyboards. There was a set of two musicians for Mid-West dates, and others for East Coast dates. The Mid-West players were Gary Bloom (keys/vocals) and Gordo (bass). Jack Geisenheimer plays bass on some East Coast gigs. "

So maybe that's the case here?

I had the good fortune to be there in the audience for this — I believe it's indeed Scott Monahan here. I can confirm that they performed as a trio on this day, with the bass parts handled by the keyboardist.

Great, thanks for clearing that out Zubbid!
