Spring 1980 |
Helix plays in the Quad at the Cal Poly Student Union. I recall that it was a Prog Rock set, and that I had bolted my 12 or so gizmo boxes on to a “pedal board” that was about the size of a door. |

Shenandoah Club. This gig was covering for a local band “Magic” who could not play that weekend. I think that the promoters hated us after this gig. If we had stayed together, we would have had to change our name again. Greg Asbury drummed for this gig. This may be the first gig with Dave Hudson on keyboards.

Weird Al Gig in the Quad at Cal Poly. We were rained out and never played. |

Happy Jacks again. This is the gig where I decided that the band was interfering with my school work. |
