StevieC Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hi all, On Itunes the other day and downloaded The Tubes' album track 'Tip of my Tongue' to add to my playlist of awesome tunes that I've loved over the years. I think Earth, Wind and Fire had a lot to do with it (The Tubes collaborated at lot) and it shows. Completely groovy, dynamic with the bass locked sooooooo tightly with the bass drum. A totally brilliant track - Can anyone shed anymore light on who played on it? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Almost certainly Rick Anderson. Other than Re Styles leaving, and a few session/tour guys, the Tubes had a pretty stable lineup. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve[/quote] "I'm not cunning, I'm no linguist" - what a naughty start to a second verse Ah the Tubes, one of my all time favourite bands. The last few times they have been over we have had at least one, and normally more band outings to see them. They still put on a brilliant show They were a big influence on a band the rest of the guys had - but I never quite got to join (it split just before they got around to asking ) [attachment=9936:HR2.jpg] We still do White Punks, did Talk To Ya Later for a while and a couple of other, but not this one. It's funny how there always seems to be at least one Tubes fan lurking at every gig. Probably Rick Anderson on this as he has been bass player throughout and forms a really solid rhythm section with Prairie Prince Edited June 23, 2008 by WalMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
