Firesign Theatre — Dear Friends
Dear Friends was Firesign Theatre’s fifth album, and by pure coincidence, it was also the fifth album of theirs that I procured. Instead of the surreal “theatre of the mind” approaches they had taken...

Firesign Theatre – I Think We’re All Bozos on This Bus
This was the album that was my introduction to The Firesign Theatre. On the emphatic recommendation of my friend Dan, who somehow knew about things other high schoolers did not (perhaps because of a...
Firesign Theatre — Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers
This was the third album from the Firesign Theatre, released in 1970, and it was probably the fourth of their records that I bought. I remember buying it when I was already at Syracuse...

As big a fan of Fanny as I am, I think that, like a lot of bands of that time, their records don’t fully capture the energy of their live performances. Luckily, there’s a...
