Notes
  • deadthinking: a week in Jan 1979 (put on the snow tires)
  • Our friend Zeke has provided these photos and notes "In these photos, 3x of which include Phil, a close inspection shows that he is playing BOTH Big Brown (bottom left) & Mission Control (top/bottom right). Unfortunately, Mission Control is mostly blocked by Keith's keyboard, but the headstock is a bit more clear and corresponds with MC. Phil is documented to have brought both of these basses with him for only a ~6month period from 7/78<> 2/79 (these are rough estimates based off of confirmed photos, I believe, as he probably had them through most of 1979...)"
