Ron wasn't a habitual complainer. I think 3 Dog Night was one of his all
time favourites (on record) and this concert was not what he expected.
He got over it. And I sorta understood. I've been disappointed a few
times in live performances. Either by the abysmal acoustics of the venue
or ny the music itself. And sometimes by both. I've quit attending live
acts at our state fair's grandstand - becase of the acoustics.
OTOH, I once travelled across two states to Arrowhead Stadium outside
Kansas City to attend a Grateful Dead show with an employee who furnished
the tickets and bought the gas. You didn't hear the music as much as you
"experienced" it. They go noise complaints from towns as much as 30 miles
away.

I have made my own. But, I've tried enough "short-cuts" over the years
to know what works and what doesn't. And the advantage of using a mix
fro a supplier is *repeatability*. Same reason I spec garlic granules
rather than cloves of garlic. Known flavour profile. Bv)=
Mix all ingredients and grind to a fine powder using a
mortar and pestle, or food processor or blender. Spice
will keep 6 months or so on the pantry shelf. *
This powder is somewhat more pungent and fresher tasting
than a packaged brand, so use a bit less.
UDD notes: I have increased the cumin and garlic in this
from the original. You can use an R2D2 coffee grinder to
grind the chilies and other spices together.
