In 1987, the band headed to Europe for a two week tour before taking some time off. A concert in Bremen was recorded and subsequently released by the Crosscut label as “Live in Europe.” In contrast to the album “Backtrack,” this one is a showcase of the core four man group that had done more than 3,000 shows in 15 years with almost no change in personnel. The album clearly shows that they had become a finely tuned, tight unit playing nothing less than great blues rock. This album also served to identify the end of an era as Jimmy Thackery moved on to pursue a solo career. But the album also served as a new beginning - as the band would take a break and chart a new course..
