Conan said the other night " at last nights Yankees game a man leaped out of the grandstands and into the net behind home plate...it was later revealed it was George Steinbrenner"

You've got to get an album called " Take No Prisoners" its a Lou reed live album that's almost lou doing stand up.
Great music but even better stories

You've all seen some great talent.

One of my all time favorites was The Kinks back 79-81 ish... can't recall the exact year.

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.

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.

.

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
:D

I only got to see them once but what a show!

I saw the Stray Cats too - had to, it was in college, I was part of the board that did all the activities. All said and done - they were ok.

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

Anyone remember Duran-Duran? They were excellent too.

I've always been more of a softer rock person, then I found jazz... but one of my regrets is I never saw the Dead.
 
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.

Damn - the Paradise... this thread is jarring my memories. Man those were some fun years. Lou Reed - I'm jealous.

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

OMG I was AT that show!!!! The 10pm show if I remember correctly. I

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.

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.

There was some odd stuff on those lists as I recall. But I can't remember what - just that it was. Memory is a bitch!

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
 
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.

I'm on the South Shore, we had a few local bands that were great. One was Private Lightning... they were amazing. The group had a brother and sister, I heard that the industry wanted to exploit her sexually and the band said no way. It was what was happening back then you know... they wanted no part in it which is admirable. Unfortunately it cost them their record deal.

But maybe these songs will ring a bell. They had one album (self titled)

Song Album
Bright City
Cultists of True Fun
Heartbeat
Physical Speed
Side of the Angels
Song of the Kite
Thriller
When You're Laughing


I think I'm officially 21 again here. Fun!
