Love them! But like so many punk shows of that era, no chicks.

Can't wait to hear Kirstin nail that one.

We had our 1st rough run-thru last night and it's going to kill!

Which one of you bought Eric Clapton's SG for $1.27 million? At least post a pic for goodness sake....

Was it this one?

Any gigs on the schedule for TSC? My wife now wants to see you guys live...well, me too.

 

[Border]

I am too. I have a desire to be part of a Clash tribute.

Good afternoon MCF, I saw your post and couldn't help but ask about a Clash tune. Long story, but I found out this morning I need to learn Rock the Casbah today, or rather (hopefully) before a rehearsal tomorrow morning. BL changing things up on short notice. Also added Twilight Zone by Golden Earring....and Leroy Brown by Jim Croce?! Not certain what to expect next. Interesting group of people.
Happy Friday folks, I hope all have a great weekend.

This is how you give a birder a 1964 heart attack.

 

[Ringhammer]

if you catch him on something, and he's really good about taking it constructively, he listens and enthusiastically does it. Really rare in my experience.

Until I read this I thought it was more like never….

Leroy Brown? First song I ever sang lead on, in front of some poor people.

Anyway they didn’t throw things or leave, so I took that as a win.

Yes. Posted in the portaflex sub.

Went to a party
And danced all night
Drank sixteen beers and I started up a fight.
But now I'm jaded
you're outta luck
I'm rolling down the stairs...

Yeah, sort of. But I attended at least one show on every Yes stop in So Cal from ‘74 to ‘81 and you would be surprised. But Neil, Bowie, and the Boss shows always had more girls. Though the Rod Stewart, Cheap Trick, Petty, and Frampton shows were tops.

 

[Gaolee]

Do you take a Thunderbird as a backup to the upright ?

Generally I don't. But sometimes. I'm not Duke'o'frock just yet, so I don't play them alternately during a show. That's the goal, though.

I'm working on scheduling a mid-day Monday J1 Geo B-day TSC show at Winters' - it's a tradition! Otherwise nothing (live) for now. Breaking in our new drummer and learning new songs.

If you were a girl who was less that 6'-2" and 210 lbs, would you have gone into a mosh pit? Even if you were that big, would you have gone into one of those mosh pits back in the late '70s or early '80s? And come to think of it, if you were sane, the answer might have been no no matter what. Mostly guys are dumb enough. Not that I would know.

Wow. That’s eclectic! Love all three songs. You can probably find charts for Casbah and Leroy fairly easily. Not sure about Twilight.

There's a prog doc where King Crimsons drummer Bill Bruford talked about the fact that there were no post-show groupies waiting for them because there weren't any women in the audience to begin with.

I was 5’8” and all of 135 pounds. I survived and am here to tell the tale. The Clash. The Vibrators….
