I sold all my vinyl a few years ago. I regret only a few of the more obscure albums.

Wtf? DD |
Cool one, RHM.
Remember some of the more obscure band names? The Chocolate Watchband. Tangerine Dream. Lothar and the Hand People. Strawberry Alarm Clock. Etc. |

Loved this cover and the acid rock inside. They opened for the Frampton Comes Alive tour and when Randy C and the boys had left, we all left too.

My favorite album cover is Pixies Surer Rosa, but it may not be approoriate to post.
I bought this for a quarter just for the cover art. http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/a...psqvrjjeka.jpg |

I take most of my news with a grain of salt, and will still enjoy bacon, an occasional hot dog, and a good ham sandwich. I also will continue to ride Brooks saddles on all of my bikes, both old and modern, not because they are C&V but because they are the most comfortable seats I've ever found. That testing occurred over a number of years time. My wife would rarely ride on our tandem with me because all the saddles we tried were uncomfortable, until we finally got her a Brooks to test. Now she's happier to go along on a ride, even though it's not her favorite thing to do. |
I think the WHO should stick to making music...

Whoa up, there, Golden Boy. I never said I saw the bands listed there, with the funny names. Those were mostly San Francisco bands, AFIK. I only saw the ones shown in the thread with the pics of the posters, among others. BTW, I wasn't in S.F. , if that's what you mean. I was in S.L.C. All the big bands came there back then. It was sort of the first stop as they headed east on their tours, I guess.
Saw the Doors. Big Brother & the Holding Co., Jimi Hendrix, Blind Faith, etc…. The late 60's and early 70's were good times in Salt lake City. I tell ya though, one of the best shows I ever saw was much later. A friend of mine said "let's go see this hot 3 piece band." I had never heard of them before. Almost nobody had. But they were on their first American tour and had a hit on the radio, called Roxanne. What a show. In a small, dingy, "supper & beer" club with an audience of about 250 people.

It's amazing to think of the bands you've seen. Nothing I've seen comes close to living in SF in 1967-70.

Again, I wasn't around back then- but apparently the big bands didn't come to Milwaukee- there were bars south of the city- apparently little places hosted bands like the Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. If you've seen the booklet with the Police box set, there's a picture from their appearance at some bowling alley in Milwaukee. And speaking of bands and bowling alleys- Cheap Trick was "discovered" at Sunset Bowl in Waukesha (the city I live in). |
I'm not really sure why such big bands would even stop in Salt Lake. After all, we were what we non-Mormons called "behind the Zion Curtain".
A very religious, fairly repressive atmosphere in that small city. But, the town also had a viable and active "hippie" movement. Mostly to do with the presence of the University of Utah and the small but progressive Westminster College, I guess. Hendrix, the Doors and Janis, among others, played at an amusement park called Lagoon, about ten miles north of the city. But after Jim Morrison's appearance at the place, it switched to "soft rock" bands only. Heh. The Lizard King scared them I guess. |

You're going to like this story, then:
In 1983 or so, my college job was working as the night bellhop/night watchman at the Pacific Plaza Hotel in downtown Seattle. Hanging out in the lobby, nothing to do at 1am, maybe 2am, trying not bother Elmer, who's doing the night audit. The Blasters were in town, playing probably the Paramount Theatre or the Moore, after their gig, they're checking in, probably 2am. Much hauling of amp heads and guitar cases; the hard to replace personal favorites they don't want to leave in the van. They've signed for their rooms and got their keys. Elmer's gone off to do somethining the back office for awhile, and Dave Alvin drops his guitar case on the lobby floor, and points at me and says "You can watch this till I get back, can't you? Be a few minutes." "Sure thing; I'll stick here 'til you come back." Ten minutes. Guitar case just sitting there on the floor. Twenty minutes. What kind of guitar does Dave Alvin play onstage? Half an hour. I play in a band, also, and am kind of crazy about vintage guitars. Forty minutes. Screw it, I'm going to check out that guitar. I open the case (upside down, as it happens) and out spills a nicely battered vintage blonde Fender Mustang, plus a ****pile of set lists and sheet music, tuner, picks, string packs, odds and ends. That case was really packed with junk. All of it just cascading out across the lobby floor. At that very moment, Dave walks back in and says "What the.. ?" "I'm sorry." I'm handing stuff back to him while he packs it into the case. "I play in a band too, and I was just curious about what kind of guitar you had in there." Now he's kind of understanding and amused, "Oh yeah, what kind of band?" "Well just rock and roll stuff, three chord stuff. Kinda like you guys, I guess, maybe not quite so old fashioned." "OLD FASHIONED?!" Gives me a nasty look and stomps off with his case. |
