It was the early 1980's when the Tubes played in the parking lot of what was the Sahara hotel in South Lake Tahoe.  I lived and skied up there and I remember driving through a snowstorm to see them in Reno once with am amazing hot chick (another story)...but when they played the Tahoe gig, I got a room with a balcony and a lake view.  We sat up on the balcony and watched the sunset with the concert.  Almost surreal.  Fee was a great showman...not as good as he could have been.  He was too out there to get popular.  New Wave was just coming into play but Fee was ahead of his time.
