The first time I took a whole hit of acid was at a Wipers / U-men show back in 1985. As DJ Rick says, they had already hit their peak record-wise, but of course it was a phenomenal live experience.
I could listen to Youth of America for weeks on end and not get bored of it, even though it's in many ways totally primitive. Sage kind of suffered from learning to play guitar the same way Reed did in his mid-solo career.
