Yes, he was. However, before their last concert, they had stage fright, and Mao, unwilling to go on, was stallin'. The promoter came backstage and said "I hate to rush ya, but the crowd is starting to see red here." After some encouragement, they said "thanks for lenin' us a hand," and went on. The critics even gave them good marx the next day!
