|  |     I spent way too many hours moving ITMB's stage full of hardware back in
    the the early '70's. ("After you load the 8 SVT cabs can you help me
    with the B3?")
    
    The keyboard player was Micky Spiros, and Bobby Lichtenfeld(?) was on
    drums. I haven't seen them in years.

|  |     I saw the ITMB in the late 70's early 80's and they were outstanding.
    i believe Joe Pet of Berlin Airlift/Luna fame was the drummer. you may
    want to check some of the used record shops in Harvard Sq (Mystery
    Train,Second Comin) or try Central Sq.

    Used to make it a point to go to the Buttercup whenever Celebration
    was playing. They did some decent Yes covers, but in those days
    I wasn't there for the music; Celebration seemed to have many female
    fans :-) They did the glitz thing pretty well.....remember that part
    of the set included having everyone sitting on the dance floor
    in front of the band....passing around sticks so folks could keep
    time along with the band...big smoke show with that greasy feel/smell
    to it....somehow they seemed "bigger" than a local band. Can't help
    with any tapes, but I do thank you for the memories.

|  |     Boy, did you bring back some memories - especially
    the Mohawk but The Buttercup was my favority hangout
    before it burned down.
    
    Haven't heard about either of these 2 groups in a long
    time.  I wouldn't mind seeing them again if these groups
    still exist.

|  |     yeah...  saw both these bands at a place called Copperfields
    (not the one near Fenway), down in Warwick R.I.  It burned down
    too, come to think of it.  Great bands, both of em

Unfortunately, both bands are out of commission.  ITMB broke up late
70's, early 80's.  Celebration seemed to just disappear.  Individual
players probably went on to play in other bands.  Because I was not a
native to New England, I never had a chance to follow groups members.
That is why I am looking to find anyone who might have tapes, etc of 
these groups to hear them again.
Anyway .... seems like the good bands leave burned down establishments!
Really enjoy reading from those of you who remembered these 2 groups in
particular.  Have a friend Anthony Coppola who was the sound person for
ITMB.  He works for Digital now.  Will try and get him to contribute to
this notes file.  Appreciate everyone's input.  Keep rocking!!
