TexasToest: That is tough to do,trust me,but the adrenalin does kick in............I just came across this rarity.The first time I saw this band I was very disapointed,no stage charisma,Smmy Hagar blew them off the stage,but there is no denying their talent.I wisely caught them again 3 years back,great show. RIP Brad Delp

TexasToest: a good ole song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_efJ6y7eHg

The singer had strep throat,but it was a benefit,what a trooper

TexasToest: I guess they have always appealed to my philosophy that good entertaiment grabs you by the throat and doesn't release you till they decide they're finished.A good entertainer takes control,they shouldn't request it.Keep in mind this philosophy only applies to the stage.

Nirvana: Naw,couldn't be Phil,he's left handed,his kit is the other way around

some like NY NY,this works for me

TexasToest: Roy,a class by himself

TexasToest: "when you come off this self delusion youre gonna need a soul transfusion"

I love that lyric

TexasToest: don't be silly,it's mushroom tuesday

I hear a large Capt Beefheart influence

TexasToest: um,it was the night I was to see STEELY DAN,.........for some reason ole STEELY brought this fave from the 80's to mind.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nFvN5QH5tA

I had tickets to see these guys that night.This is very rare live footage.Skunk Baxter was directed to the Doobie Bros while in this tremendous band

TRIVIA: Jimmy Page has gone on record stating the solo on REELING IN THE YEARS is the best of the 70's

Tuesday: 3 night were the headliner at the T REX concert I didn't attend here in town.Next to the Queen/Areosmith tour,it is filed in the "concerts I regret missing" section.

TexasToest: I might go a little loopy having 57 or more kids running around too

Tuesday: That's what he thought,it was closer to 75,but apparently there is a website for possible additions,not kidding

Tuesday: Wikipedia this guy

and read his trivia section

TexasToest: You may have heard it on fm late at night,.................cheap trick were great.I tried to find one of my faves of their's ELO KIDDIES, but to no avail

I caught these guys opening for KISS back in the early 80's.I must admit I found their choreography and poser rock god presentation very funny(Accept not KISS).When they kicked into this song I was hooked halfway through,a great tune



They couldn't speak a word of english when I had a beer with them after opening for Motorhead,but the singer should have auditioned for AC/DC when Bon passed,they sound identical.

TexasToest: this is rough,but rare,floyd circa 1975
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzQqzyHWJMg

that's probably the nicest thing you could have said
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZSWAkJ3h8E

TexasToest: They ain't the same without Artimus Pyle,I wonder who is left?

awesome: That was the original singer,not sure of the rest of the band.I was thinking the exact thing,if Van The Man hasn't covered it yet,he should.

TexasToest: Apparently they have acess to films not in release,for course study.I also had him send along WAY WAY OUT,the Jerry Lewis movie,I'm not sure if it's been released since

TexasToest: I actually tracked down a university film study group to transfer it for me onto vhs,it's not availible on dvd.I paid through the teeth,but I was determined to get a copy

TexasToest: Burl showed lots of contained rage in "Let no man write my epitaph" one of my fave flicks,and the resemblence is uncanny

TexasToest: I still think Burl fathered James Hetfield,same contained rage
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2Bg3tLUlJk

TexasToest: I thought of him as the Burl Ives of opera

Tuesday: Yes,many a time I have wished someone would post,just to remove me from the headline page

Tuesday: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0zPLGdRtIE0

I'm still smitten

from the vastly underrated film PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE.It may be better than the original
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0_5l24U7HY&mode=related&search=

TexasToest: Great choice.Bob was great in his day,turn the page never gets old.This song and video has become quite a hit in the utube world

TexasToest: Give me a break,I'm slowly working through the decades.I hope to reach 2007 by the new millenium

I still wonder why they never made it as more than a cult band.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzhQCMqeZWI

Mousetrap: Sorry,not up on either of them mouse.A real gem just came to mind though,Tom Robinson was an old favorite of mine back in the new wave punk days.I hope you and others enjoy this song he wrote and recorded,it became an antham of sorts for many gay kids back in the day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lR3ffBsMTc&mode=related&search=

coan.net: They were entertaining,good ole r n r,no deep meaning.There was a point I thought had the potential to be very special musically.CC Deville began playing an instrumental version of Georgia accompanied only by the keyboardist.I was just settling in to enjoy it when he all the sudden ended it with some crazy speed guitar,maybe he didn't trust the audience enough to play it to completion,oh well.

I didn't mind Damn Yankees,a bit of a super group.I had thought they played You can still rock in America,I guess they kinda did,Jack Blades was in both Night Ranger and DY,and they covered it,good song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQFTqZscWsU

TexasToest: It was fun,somebody already has the opening song on utube,I'm bushed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQWyQo3rqaM

Tuesday: adios,I'm a ghost......later

I have laid out my wardrobe.A Nashville Pussy t-shirt and ratty jeans(Ratt is opening)The transformation isn't complete without imersing myself in the gendre.Here is a song from the 80's hair band era,one of a handful that I actually enjoyed.They were a Canadian band now residing in the "where are they now" file.One of those numerous power ballads of 80's rock

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz6nGNc-t6A&mode=related&search=

TexasToest: You're right,I should know by refrencing that ole Carter Family song "daddy sang bass,mamma sang tenor..." lol.I had the wrong term but the right idea.Someone on another board has swung my thoughts towards a band we have discussed here before,Tesla.Very few songs give me a lump,this one does

Tuesday: They give me chills.J.D. Sumner has one of the best baritones I've ever heard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0WD7iprRyI

TexasToest: Thanks for all those tasty links TT.I was never a Hendrix freak,but I've alwasys wanted to visit ELECTRIC LADY studios.So many great musicians and recordings were done there.

This first time I saw him open with it onstage,I thought I'd witnessed a great new performer,my opinion kinda went downhill after the first cd

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZCk2C1HTw4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adQNcQl0OSU

awesome: An undiscovered gem,what set some 70's rock apart.


Tommy Bolin sat in to play the leads on both these songs for a local bar band that fell apart on the edge of success

awesome: When you consider that we come into the world in diapers and sometimes leave in diapers,you may have a point

I have a funny story about getting the special foldout edition of electric warrior autographed by a session musician back in the early 80s who was then a dj at a strip joint in Florida,but that's a story for another time.I was a T REX nut back then.I love this tune
