From Detroit Rock Scene 1960's Early 70's text by Ron Domilici

Appearing at a Summer music festival July 18,1970 at Soldier Field, Chicago, here's singer-songwriter & producer and long-time Michigan resident George Clinton performing with Funkadelic. Born in North Carolina, Clinton became interested in doo wop while living in New Jersey during the early '50s. Clinton formed The Parliaments in 1955. The Parliaments released only two singles during the next ten years. But frequent stays in Detroit during the mid-'60s, where Clinton was working as a songwriter and producer, eventually paid off. The band had a hit with the 1967 single "I Wanna Testify". But there were problems with the record label and Clinton refused to record any new material. Clinton decided to record the same band under a new name, Funkadelic, in 1968. They mixed soul, funk, and psychedelic rock and gained a wider audience. George Clinton began his solo career in 1981. George and many former Parliament-Funkadelic members also continued to tour and record throughout the '80s as the P-Funk All Stars. George moved to a large farm in Michigan, near Adrian, which was his home base for nearly twenty years. Clinton has released more than a dozen studio and Live recordings over the years. He's collaborated with dozens of artists in multiple genres of music and is widely considered one of the foremost innovators of funk music. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. July 22nd George Clinton is 81 years old.

From The FaceBook page Detroit Rock Scene 1960's - Early 1970's

Ron Domilici: From 1966, at his home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, this of course is Robert Clark Seger. It's been stated that Bob, supported by his father, learned to play the ukulele as a preschooler. By the time he reached high school he'd learned to play both guitar and some piano. Early groups included the Decibels, the Town Cryers, and Doug Brown's band, the Omens. In 1966 Bob had departed Brown's group and he released the single 'East Side Story', credited to Bob Seger & the Last Heard (recorded with musicians from the Cryers and the Omens). Seger, along with Pep Perrine, Dan Honaker, and Carl Lagassa, became the Last Heard. Bob's long and fruitful career was off and rollin'.

Ron Domilici:
For all things there is a beginning.......
From January of 1969 at Detroit's Grande Ballroom (3 nights), the Motor City debut for the band, here's John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, and Jimmy Page, performing with Page's relatively new group at the time, Led Zeppelin. Opening night was sparsely attended, and Zeppelin performed on borrowed equipment, until the second night. Grande floor manager Tom Wright commented about their appearance in the Grande doc, 'Louder than Love'...noting how struck he was by the power of Plants voice, even with a cheap mic and PA. The audience grew over the three-night engagement and Wright again noted how powerful the band sounded. Zeppelin would return to the Grande once more, playing two sets in in May of '69....with both sets enthusiastically received.

Ron Domilici Appearing September 13th,1978 at the Royal Oak Music Theater, performing with the Australian rock band AC/DC, this is vocalist Bon Scott. Bon Scott was born in Scotland but spent most of his short life in Australia. He was in his first band in 1964, The Spektors. A few more bands followed, including The Valentines and Fraternity, before replacing original AC/DC singer Dave Evans in 1974. Interestingly, Malcolm and Angus Young thought Scott was ''too old'' for a rock band but hired him anyway. Sadly, he didn't live to see the band achieve the worldwide acclaim that came to it. Bon Scott was thirty-three when he passed in 1980. Scott is widely regarded as one of the all-time great lead singers in rock music. In 2003 Bon was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with AC/DC. July 9th marks Bon Scott's 76th birthday.

I had that exact bass. Travis Bean, serial number 527. I know because it was stolen out of my van and I filed a police report. Showed up two years later on the wall of a local music store. They had taken it in trade but had to give it back to me. Traded it in on an Acoustic 301 18" folded horn cab. Travis Bean weighed about 15 pounds and always killed my shoulder. Ha!
