I heard it first here:



They opened for The Who and Hermits Hermits on the Who's first tour. (At least in Indianapolis)

They had electric suits with lighting in panels that must have caused dehydration each show.

PS
Herman was the headliner......go figure

I played one once in a shop. It had an authority in tone no other acoustic bass I've played has ever matched. It probably didn't amp that well (did it have electronics at all? I don't remember), but the acoustic sound was much better than what you can hear in that vid.

Likewise for me. The Earthwoods do have an onboard piezoelectronic pickup that actually sounds pretty good, especially considering that even the most expensive acoustic/electric guitars, and especially basses are only NOW capable of outputting a decent sound and the Earthwood is over 30 years old. Here's probably its most famous moment:
