- NRBQ w/ the Whole Wheat Horns doing "Shake, Rattle and Roll" live at The Paradise in Boston 1982. Video #10 of 10. Also included is an opaqued video effect version of "Get Rhythm" performed while the credits roll. Donn Adams-Trombone.
Big Al-DAMN!!
The concert in this video here at the Paradise was on a Sat nite. The previous nite, Fri, I was there and they set the club on fire! When they left the stage after their first encore, the crowd was happily yelling for the final encore we all knew would come. Then, one guy at a table started banging his beer on the table and chanting "Shake, Rattle, & Roll...Shake, Rattle & Roll". Others joined in gradually until everyone was yelling it in unison, over and over, louder and louder. After a while, Donn Adams walked back on-stage - alone w his trombone in his white suit. He started to play a solo to go along with the crowd still chanting, "Shake, Rattle, & Roll". And he was just effin' killing it! One by one, the other band members walked backed on and joined in -q playing the song different than all the other counless times I'd seen them before. God, it was great, and the crowd was berserk by this point! Man, the boys were happy as hell and having fun. Finally, Big Al walked onstage last and started playing his Telecaster very similar to what you see in this video - except was at the end of the song, not the middle! I've seen a zillion Q concerts, and they played this song fora lit of their encores, but this particular ending with this particular song at that nite at the Paradise was their best concert finish - ever! And that's saying something.
How do I know? BC I was the guy who started the "Shake, Rattle & Roll" chant while banging my beer bottle on the table for that second encore...42 years ago! Lots of memories fade, but that one will live til I take my last breath! No one was ever better than the Q.
Golden times.
That's f---+ing awesome, wow 😊 !
back in the day we thought these times would never end
First date with my wife at the Rusty Nail, NRBQ. What could be better?
We got to open for them at the Rusty Nail a year later. Just the best!
then the place burned down. ... right up the road.
@@morbidmanmusic Yeah, the owner, Ed Stephans was his name I think, was the very definition of sleaze. We were the house band there for the better part of a year and Ed always found a way to stiff us, despite paying us next to nothing. We were kids and had a lot to learn about club owners. It sounds like you might’ve frequented the place, maybe you saw us, the Pleasure Dots there?
Totally amazing.
Wish there was a DVD release of this concert.
that drummer...holy crap...RIP. the best
One of my all time fav.drummers......gone too soon.
Great signature tune from NRBQ. MAN, we're these guys fun and awesome on stage back in the 70s. Great musicians who could truly groove. They deserved to really hit it big like Little Feat. They had their fun but I wish they were getting good royalties now.
I was there too- Rusty Nail in the 70's, saw these guys whenever I could. Great times.
Loved the Rusty Nail
I was good friends with Big Al and the band. They would come through Holyoke Ma and stay at the Holiday Inn. Big Al would drive up in his Impala. Great guys! Best live band ever!
Saw them the 1st time in 83 headlining with Fabulous Thunderbirds middle band and local Skip Castro band playing first University of Maryland campus, Ritchie Coliseum? Long time ago, thankQ
I saw them at Richie they open for Jerry Lee Lewis.
The band I was in, "The Blue Sparks From Hell," warmed up for the Q, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and The NightHawks a number of times in 83 and 84.
"Shake, Rattle & Roll" written by Jesse Stone for Big Joe Turner in 1954.
I saw them repeatedly in Ma. and Ct. throughout the 70's and 80's. We called them our local Grateful Dead. Insiders know, they're as good as the Dead and the Stones. Like David Gans said on the passing of Tommy Ardolino, they WERE a jam band. They could do more jamming in 4 minutes than anybody. Damn, how I'd kill to go back to the Rusty Nail in Sunderland Ma. in about 77 or 78 on a saturday night.
Tim F I agree. I will GLADLY t travel around the country for music but not for every artist. The ones on my travel list:
The Grateful Dead & other post Jerry Dead outfits i.e. Furthur duh
NRBQ
TOM WAITS
Steve Kimock
George Clinton pfunk
Lucinda Williams
Talking Heads (PAST time for these guys to tour again . . .)
@@amyostrander2811 .. Little Feat might be a 'real' band that fits in with your list, too - top notch musicians who don't mind stretching out a number. Cheers!
@@amyostrander2811
. ..oops - someone down the scroll mentioned Feat - didn't see it before I posted.
I thought the dude on trombone had to be related to Terry - sporting a plunger head as a mute, lol - confirmed in description! Love these guys.
That's Don Adams, Terry's brother.
@@judyweinstock9972 Don Adams Jr.? Are these guys Maxwell Smart's offspring? No wonder!
- thank Q for the reply, lol
he just made his transition about a week ago; he was a physics major and is probably travelling the cosmos right now with carl sagan 😀😇
AWESOME!! Thank-Q!!
Thank you, Wilbur Evans, for sharing these videos. Our freaking fraternity and school were at this show and are having a ball recalling a great concert, a great band, a great time and great friends.
TO COOl 😊
Dude...saw them at the B.O.B in boston circa 1989....they and Iggy played inbetween the comeptitors. FRACKING ROCKED...shame I never caught them at Bunratty's.
With the Whole Wheat Horns.
Big Joe Turner would have been proud. Actually, Mr Turner died in '85, so scratch would have been: Perhaps he was a fan.
You guys all talkin' about the 70s. I saw NRBQ repeatedly around Hartford between 2005 and 2015. Terry's new line-up is every bit as good as the original team.
no, they're not, but they are still very good and I love them. just saw them last week
Then you never saw the original Q. No way u would ever say that if you did. New Q still good, but, sorry, NO comparison. Not even close.
@@shaboo2 My band warmed up for the original Q a number of times in the 80s. I'm quite familiar.
@@jonathanedwards8696 Are you THE great, respected Jonathan Edwards? If so, much respect from a big fan! Regardless tho, I have also seen both Q bands, and as talented as the new NRBQ might be, there is simply NO comparison, not even close to the old Q. None.
Very VERY few musicians can even hold Big Al's pick as a guitar player supreme, and his voice is pure magic: light enough to sing the softest ballad edgey enough to belt out some of the best blues ever written. As to Joey and Tom, you only need a couple fingers to count the rhythm sections ANYWHERE who might be better than them. And Terry is Terry,, as entertaining as they come!
As to all their individual talents: a 10 out of 10. As to their sounds as a band, there is simply no scale to which they can even be measured. Truly unique, truly the best, and never to be replaced.
@@shaboo2 I disagree. Scott Ligon has more personality and a better voice than Big Al did. He's also a more versatile guitar player. In addition, Terry loves him, and that's good enough for me.
We're just a bunch of bar guys watching TH-cam.
He's using a toilet plunger for his trumpet Muffler

Dude you have no idea what your talking about
