One of the fake Zombies played at Changes Unlimited/Kaleidoscope here in Louisville sometime in the late 60's. I wonder which act it was. This club hosted the REAL Frank Zappa and the Mothers, Steppenwolf,  Iron Butterfly and Blue Cheer.

Can't think of performing the Zombies' songs without the keyboards. Incredible that they could get away with that.

Mind blowing it was future ZZ Top members!  White Texas Blues kids.  Absolutely a different era.

There was a pretty infamous fake Fleetwood Mac tour group in the mid 70s.  Pretty sure it was put together by their manager.
