Fanny absolutely rocked. Great energy. Smoking cover of “Hey Bulldog”. (And who on earth woulda thought of covering that Beatles song at the time?!?) Have watched this performance many times over the years. Electrifying! Thanks!

Brian Auger's Oblivion Express - the "Straight Ahead" album cover:
(their cover of Wes Montgomery's "Bumpin' on Sunset" on this album is great)

In a 1999 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, David Bowie said :
.
“One of the most important female bands in American rock has been buried without a trace. And that is Fanny. They were one of the finest rock bands of their time, in about 1973. They were extraordinary. It just wasn’t their time."

Great alternative band..Respect to the Gods with their Let it Be album and rooftop cover. Best alternative album of all-time.

The videos resulting from that album were hilarious. I suppose they should be called "anti-videos".

I'll toss out this one from the Airplane, not so much for the art, but for the function. It converted into a "cigar box" which was handy for sifting out stems and seeds back in 1972 when you had to worry about such things.
