I think 3 Dog Night was one of his all time favourites (on record) and this concert was not what he expected. He got over it. And I sorta understood. I've been disappointed a few times in live performances. Either by the abysmal acoustics of the venue or ny the music itself. And sometimes by both. I've quit attending live acts at our state fair's grandstand - becase of the acoustics. OTOH, I once travelled across two states to Arrowhead Stadium outside Kansas City to attend a Grateful Dead show with an employee who furnished the tickets and bought the gas. You didn't hear the music as much as you "experienced" it. They go noise complaints from towns as much as 30 miles away. DD> Here's that chilli recipe and I'm going away.

Same reason I spec garlic granules rather than cloves of garlic. Known flavour profile. Bv)= MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Firehouse HOT Chilli Spice Categories: Chilli, Herbs, Chilies Yield: 5 1/2 ounces 6 tb Hot Hungarian or Spanish - Paprika 2 tb Turmeric 1 tb Dried Ancho chilies 1 tb Cumin 1 ts Oregano 1/2 ts Cayenne 1 tb Garlic granules 1/2 ts Salt 1/4 ts Ground cloves Mix all ingredients and grind to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle, or food processor or blender. Spice will keep 6 months or so on the pantry shelf. * This powder is somewhat more pungent and fresher tasting than a packaged brand, so use a bit less. UDD notes: I have increased the cumin and garlic in this from the original. You can use an R2D2 coffee grinder to grind the chilies and other spices together. * If you can survive that long without a bowl of red.
