Outta Site Mike was a helleva Musician, as well as one of the most unique and innovative sound engineers of all time. He did things with a "PA" Board that no one ever did before or since.

Footz, what can you say about one of the most underated drummers around. Redds, one of the funkiest, if not the funkiest Guitar player. I missed that Funk ya body Redds that RE use to do. Boolah was all of it on Guitar. Trouble without Dyke, is like Earth Wind and Fire without Maurice White, they keep going on, but you know something is missing. All the rest of us still here, make the best of your life and don't forget who gave you your gift and life. RIP my brother.
