During the fall
of 1983, Gene Parsons, Skip Battin, Sneaky Pete Kleinow and Ed Ponder played around California without using any
real band name.
In July of
1984, after a change in personnel, they used the name "The Peace
Seekers" for a tour of Europe with Roger McGuinn.
This particular concert is credited to the then-not-yet-existing band name “The Peace
Seekers”.
Skip Battin
does most of the talking.
From Thomas
Aubrunner’s webpages:
Gene
Parsons remembers:
"I
didn't like the name "Peace Seekers", it sounded too weird! I mean,
we all look for peace, but the name makes no sense. We were not really a band
with a permanent line-up. We started in the Fall of '83 in California. I
defineitely didn't want to be a drummer anymore so we got Eddie Ponder, and for
the European tour we've got Jim Goodall. I wasn't supposed to come over to
Europe with the band, it was a situation where it was gonna be SneakyPete or me
- we can't afford to be a five man band. We also lived so far away from each
other, rehearsals were a real problem. We were supposed to have two weeks of
rehearsals in Los Angeles for this tour but I drove down to LA from northern
California only to learn that Skip hadn't arrived from Oregon!"
