Far out! Mother's Finest was the first major-label-signed club-level band I ever saw. In the summer of 1980, I was 14 years old, and I attended a two week "music camp" at East Carolina University. By coincidence, Mother's Finest had a gig on the campus on the first night of my camp. I knew who they were although I didn't really know their music (one of my older brothers had their first album), so I made sure I was there. It was a pretty tiny place they were playing in, and the gig was not terribly well attended (I'm pretty sure I was the only "music camper" there, oddly enough). But they rocked - oh yes, they did. I never did buy any of their records, though.
