Pink Fairies - Never Never Land 

Privileged to see Pink Fairies perform this album live at Royal Holloway College but I can't remember which Summer Ball it was  - 69, 70 or 71? Even in a small hall in a lareg Victorian building, the acoustics sounded good and we had two drummers for our money (and possibly  two bass guitarists that night?????????????????). I think folk proggies Magna Carta were on the same bill as were the great Brett Marvin & The Thunderbolts. However, saw a stripped down  PF 6 months later at Kingston Swimming Baths, when they had become much more popular, and they became one of the few bands I walked out on before the end of the gig - unlistenable being too loud combined with diabolical acoustics  because the floor was suspended over the swimming pool! Bought Never Never Land soon after its release, with the transparent PVC cover - but then played exclusively the long track with the drum duet formed from Teenage Rebel/Uncle Harry's Last Freakout, until that part of the album wore out. One of those drummers was Twink - best known for playing in Tomorrow with Steve Howe .

Have you hear the remake of that track, Race with Devil on Turkish Highway, which has more of a Middle Eastern feel about it? Steve Vai mostly plays the old DiMeola lines while DiMeola himself plays acoustic..... According to Dimeola's liner notes, Steve Vai had remember perfectly what DiMeola had played original on Spanish Highway and  had to remind DiMeola how it went!

yes -but what was the third album about and avoid the live Flash album because of crap recording quality

That third Flash disc, "Out of Our Hands" had a story line about someone from another planet who comes to Earth and then gets locked up in a psychiatric hospital but manages to escape. Musically, it was OK, had some good moments but not a real memorable package as a whole. You could tell they'd run out of steam by that point.
