Daily #SteveKimock. The second #Zero studio record on Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. The vinyl was an audiophile’s dream. All great tracks but for me Theme From Nancy Germany is the standout.

Daily #SteveKimock. After Steve moved to CA in 78 he had several encounters with the #GratefulDead circle by way of a couple of people. One of them was his bandmate #RalphLiberto who had played with #BobWeir and related projects.
This ultimately led to a stint with #Kingfish. In the mid-80s. Here’s a decent recording of one of the shows from that era.

Daily #SteveKimock. How about some #HotTuna with Toast? (Steve is often called by his fans #TheLittleToaster).
He and Jorma go back to the late 70s when the Goodman Brothers opened for Tuna.
Steve enters the show at the 43 minute mark.

Daily #SteveKimock. Speaking of #Zero, here's some pretty hilarious footage of their date on the #JoeyBavaresco show in 1986. This is when #JohnCipollin was still with us. Covering #ArethaFranklin's Baby, I Love You aka "Baby, Baby."
The music starts at around 4:20, but the whole thing is a hoot.

Daily #SteveKimock. The early lineup of #Zero included wildman #JohnCipollina of #QuickSilverMessengerService.
Here’s a complete set from 1987. John was already quite ill by then but managed to carry on rocking for two more years before passing.

Sunday #SteveKimock. Kimock, Vega (#TowerOfPower, #SlyStone), Hertz (#GarajMahal), White (#Zappa), aka #KVHW was probably his most popular act. Unfortunately Ray had some “personal”issues at the time and kept no-showing for gigs.
Nevertheless, they had a great groove while they lasted. I picked this clip mostly to show the #FenderMustang fitted with the famous #Rickenbacker horseshoe pickup.
