I roadied for a band that practised in a friends basement in 1978.

Keyboard player had a Hammond B3, an ARP 2600 & Fender Rhodes electric piano (no light instrument either) which yours truly lugged up & down the basement steps every weekend for gigs for about 2 years until the band & my back broke up :)
