I am not too surprised since you were never exposed to what was referred to psychedelic music and many of the Boomers were using certain recreational pharmaceuticals while listening to it. I tend to agree with you about the nineties but they were still worth watching live even if there were only three of them left.
Higher and Higher was written by the drummer and so it doesn't fit their usual pattern from the time. While the drummer is doing a good imitation of Animal from the Muppet Show in this song. Its a product of the Jesus look that many of the Boomers were into. Don't ask me why because it makes about as much sense as anything else from the time. Probably not to your taste since it is a wall of noise but it dates from the early seventies as well. Xers on the other hand kind of like it since what most of us was listening to was much louder.
This one from a few years earlier you might like better.
One of the things I always liked about them was that their music evolved in a way that the Beatles never managed. Truth is, most bands can't manage that which is why they don't last that long.
