Tag mentioned The Orpheum in Boston - a good spot for music, nice intimate seating. I've seen Hall and Oates, Bonnie Raitt and Squeeze there.

I only got to see them once but what a show!CrackerjackHrt said:damn, cate, i forgot about the kinks.
i saw them twice during that same time period.
great shows.
the davies brothers didn't seem all that brotherly, though.
Damn - the Paradise... this thread is jarring my memories. Man those were some fun years. Lou Reed - I'm jealous.Tathagata said:The paradise was great too if you got there early and got a front row seat
Lou Reed's bass player told me to get my feet off the stage

We had The Pretenders at least once or twice a year. Chrissy Hines(?) was 'Ms Diva'. I loved Pousett-Dart Band - great voice.

Hooper_X said:I saw Little Richard, Ani Difranco, and Burning Spear last summer. I used to go to a lot of arena rock concerts when I was a kid. Now, I don't have the patience for it, it being rowdy drunken crowds and hours of crappy opening acts, and I prefer to spend my live entertainment budget on theater.
CrackerjackHrt said:so was it the music that moved her?
CrackerjackHrt said:i would have loved to have seen the pretenders. chrissy hynde in red leather spitting out "precious."
OMG I was AT that show!!!! The 10pm show if I remember correctly. ITathagata said:Do you remember The Channel??
and, ofcourse, The Rat
First time The Police came through town they played The Rat
they had to play Roxanne twice because they didn't know any other songs besides the ones on their first album

You know, I just couldn't get past the attitude to be honest. They all would have lists of what food/bev you needed to provide. I remember something about Evian water or another 'name'... we couldn't get it so we got the other. She took a fit! After that kind of crap I lost any appreciation.CrackerjackHrt said:i would have loved to have seen the pretenders. chrissy hynde in red leather spitting out "precious."

remember the Police came back some years later but they were booked under a different name. WBCN said it was a sort of 'thank you' to the fans. There was some great shows - headliners - that just wanted to have a night of a smaller atmospher. I remember Mark Parenteau (sp) of 'BCN was a good friend of a friend and he gave him some great tips about where and who. It was great (even if Parenteau was somewhat of an - well whatever).
I'm getting scared here, waiting for some more flashbacks.
Maybe if I was a guy I could appreciate it ... lol What a head case.rosco rathbone said:Fuck'n A.
Angeline said:me too. i still say Middle of the Road is one of the best rock and roll songs ever. chrissy is a goddess.
ee has much better concert cred than me. but i knew who the sons of champlin were. that shocked the hell outta him when we met.
Selkie1 said:sigh, showing my age here, but these are just a few:
David Bowie - Commandar Tom tour
The Rolling Thunder Review with Bob Dylan, Joan Baez
Emerson Lake and Palmer
April Wine USED TO PLAY AT MY HIGH SCHOOL!
Rod Stewart (right now, listening to his awesome Great American Song Book Vol. III)
Simon and Garfunkel
Alice Cooper
... and the list goes on ... used to see them all at the now defunct (tears here) Montreal Forum ....
smoking dope in the bleachers, doing mescaline .... sigh, that was fun.
Nightstage? Is/was that the place down off Mass Ave - away from Harvard Square? It doesn't ring a bell, the place in Peabody doesn't either.Tathagata said:yeah Parenteau turned out to be a diddler
There was a club in Peabody that a lot of big names played at under assumed names too
I forget what it was called...
Boston was a great place in the late 70's early 80's for music
I saw Screamin' Jay Hawkins at Nightstage in cambridge
THAT was a strange show
