(oh yeah, one of the opening acts was booed off the stage during his third song--don’t feel bad, the guy named Prince went on to do very well for himself in the industry). Other opening acts were J. Geils and George Thorogood. Saw them in Los Angeles at the coliseum. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Amazing story Steve! It is so interesting how certain musicians are 'turned down', then later become ICONS ! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 How 'bout this - saw the Grateful Dead/Iron Butterfly I'd guess somewhere around 1968-70, Municipal Auditorium, KC. Oh, the Dead were the front band, Butterfly headlined the show! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so interesting how certain musicians are 'turned down', then later become ICONS ! After Prince’s death, i was listening to a sport’s talk show on the radio. The host, a guy named John Ireland, was telling a story about seeing Prince live. Like me, John was just a young man at that time--not on the radio or television like he is now. So, he’s telling the radio audience this story and he tells the SAME story that i just told you! For all i know, we were standing next to each other. funny ending to that day--a VW beetle was parked blocking the exit from the parking lot. Back in 1982, we had to pay $20 to park at this gas station. The owner closed his station for business and packed the lot with cars instead of selling gas. So, about 12 of us are upset at this VW, so we pick it up and start moving it. LAPD drives by and stops. The cop rolls down the window and says, “just don’t leave it in traffic.” then he drives off. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In A Gadda Da Vida Baby! How loud was it? Brian May of Queen said that Iron Butterfly was known for being one of the loudest bands at the time...and they had these things called horns and bass bins. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 In the 70s I went to a show billed as "Steve Martin Mull" in a converted supermarket in Atlanta. Steve Martin was the warmup for Martin Mull. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The rest of the story....It was a fed ex truck that took a wrong turn into the neighborhood. It snagged a power line and kept going until it dragged down a neighborhood's worth of poles and power lines, causing blown transformers and shattered poles and power outages on one of the hottest days of the year. There is a police report of the incident, and now I have to deal with fed ex to get reimbursed for all of the repairs. On the bright side I did get the roof repaired before it rained. Our municipal utility did a stellar job getting everything back up, and right now I am out lots of hundreds of dollars until there is justice from fed ex. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Damn Oldtimer - what type of rigs does FedEx use in your area? Bucket trucks with buckets to the sky? Or, how low are lines around you? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
