...Furay play the big Saturday night Cape date. The Dogs are actually pretty bad although they've somehow earned a reputation for being great in concert; the Coliseum is intimate for them, since they usually play in football stadiums and the like. SH&F are part of the Byrds-Poco-L.A. set and very mellow...

But as the Doobie Brothers, Poco and Dave Mason all can attest, she frequently upstages the headliners with a vocal style as subtle as Vesuvius. Small wonder that, on occasion, lights and sound equipment have suffered mysterious malfunctions during Maggie...
