Cool rock n roll photos

But it didn't at the time. You're just used to seeing old ladies wearing the same hairstyles they did when they were teenagers.
One of the more memorable concerts I went to in the 80's was Saga. They put on a hell of a show supporting the Worlds Apart tour and did a drum solo out of a suit case. Cool!

You mean this?
Hendrix opening for the Monkees 1967 USA tour was Micky Dolenz idea and Hendrix manager went for it.
It lasted for 8 out of 28 dates before Hendrix bailed out.
It's amazing to see the radical changes between the Shindig pics to the Motley Crue pics posted right next to each other, but it is even more amazing to know that most of those changes happened within 6 years of Shindig going off the air in 1966.
1964-1974 was a crazy ten years.

Yes they were! I saw them open for Billy Squire and both bands absolutely rocked.
Two other bands from that era that totally killed it live were Lover Boy and Night Ranger. Both bands went too pop later on.
Yep...there is a hugh contrast between the two acts. Has to make you wonder, "What were thinking," when they put the tour together in the first place.
These old photos remind me how big drum kits have grown over the years. In the 60's it was just bare essentials.
Well, there were a few exceptions
Ok we must have seen them during the same tour. Saga with Billy Squire as the headliner here in Sacramento in the 80's. I've seen both Lover Boy and Night Ranger too. Killer concerts, both.
Hendrix was huge in Europe and unknown in USA, Monkees had huge numbers of kids at their shows, Hendrix manager should have known better, Mickey Dolenz was a goof for suggesting it.
I think Hendrix was socially easy to push around and to persuade, I think he stayed very much in the world of a creative artist and his head was not at all anywhere else.
That caused him problems from the beginning of the Jimi Hendrix experience, right up until not being savvy with his drugs killing him.
Thankfully, he had the guts to tell his manager he was done after 8 shows, the Monkees fans had no idea what he was doing and were not in the mindset to be able to hear what he was doing.

Just a quick thanks to those of ya labelling things or adding bits of history. Most I can place but some are just too early or they changed their look...the extra information really helps and I love the bits and pieces of information. Keep it up!
Ed Sullivan looks like he's trying to decide whether or not he wants to add Eric Burdon's head to his collection.
Ed: "Hey Eric, what size hat did you say you wear again?"
