I am a third generation San Franciscan that followed Yesterday and Today from the Old Waldorf { two drink minimum} to the Stone. There were maybe 50 people or less in the Audience back then. Always a Kick Ass show. My last Y and T show was at the Cornerstone in Berkley. I had a VIP pass and sat right above stage right. Mrs Meniketti handed me a Bottle of the Meniketti Contagious 2016 Chardonnay. Dave is a Powerhouse that should be elevated to Guitar God Status.
Great video, didnt want it too end. Halloween night in 80's with Motley Crue opening, then Randy Hanson and Y&T headlining. They just rocked! Absolute stellar performance I'll never forget. And ragweed joints were a buck!

I just saw Y&T Saturday night in Asheville NC. I just posted three songs I filmed and I also bought the DVD on with the show documentary about Y&T it's got to be one of the best rock documentaries I've ever seen. It's a two disc set almost 5 hours long.
Awesome Nick. I’ve been a huge Y&T fan since my mate played Earthshaker to me. Meniketti is a great player and singer. Always great live. Thanks for this, will steal some of these riffs.
I had that cassette too! I was (and still am) a die hard Y&T fan... The only sticker on my truck is Y&T. Dave's songwriting and riffs still hold up as some of the best, dig his gritty yet melodic lead playing too. My wife and I saw them 3 times in the last few years in KC and got to meet him after one show and shake his hand. Thanks for posting this!! \m/
Just watched on with the show documentary and brought me here. That lead rips for rescue me, I remember seeing them at the orange pavilion in San Bernardino back in the 80s Dave Meniketti is one of those monster players and he can sing with the best of them! Thanks
Probably the most underated hard rock band of all time . Fell in love with them with there life concert on MTV...yes there once was music on Music television....lol
Yes, I had that tape! I couldn't believe that a tape like that existed for that time. Krokus, van halen, dio, kiss. I taught myself that riff from y&t from that cassette. Awsome stuff, thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Fantastic video. It’s so good to see Y&T music broken down in this way, so we can really appreciate the creativity of a highly underrated band. How the hell Dave Meniketti does not get into the top 100 greatest guitarists is beyond me! Keep rockin 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
There will never be rock music ..like you and I lived through... experienced and continue to play...like the hard rock of the 8Os..for that I will always treasure and consider my self blessed !!!!
Brilliant lesson Nick - always loved Y&T and Dave Meniketti's lead playing, cool riffs and a wonderful tone (Dave and John Sykes have the best Les Paul Hard Rock tones) . BTW love your and Jay Palmer's "Exotic Lead Power pack" ...Aces !!.... awesome beyond belief - Thank you.
What's up Nick? I watch you quite a bit. Been subscribed a while. I have always thought you were pretty young and just listened to my 80s music, but you made a couple of comments that might have really showed your age. How old or young are you. Just Curious, you jam man! You've even gotten better in the 2 or 3 years I've been watching you. I'm 56 BTW. 👍😁🤘
That's not fair, you've been playing these songs for years. No wonder your I'll cry for you, sounded as good as Dave Meniketti himself. Just messing with you, your a good guitarist. Great song pick. Peace.

Very cool, and I agree Dave is the man!

Damn Nick, best lesson and show so far, yeah!

You’re welcome! Glad to connect with other players who love this music!
Nick Layton are Firewolfe still going Nick? Any plans for a new album?
Thank you for all your videos. They are very much appreciated.
You are welcome. Much more to come in 2021!
Hurricane baby... Dave is right up there with Michael, Matthias and Uli... Dave's vibrato is awesome.
Man, what a blast from the past! I got that tape for my 6th birthday.

right on, long live Y&T!
Could not of asked for a better vid of Meniketti's Awsum Riffs!
Thank you
Right on man, thanks for watching!
I saw these guys 10 years ago for the first time in Mesa Arizona. Such an underrated band and love their music for many years.
Cool, such an awesome band...so many great songs...and Meniketti rules!
Just watched on with the show documentary and brought me here.

Right on, yeah Meniketti rocks!

I can dig this. Fan since '76 and covered (or tried) tunes in a band.

Thank you! I agree, Meniketti and Y&T are criminally underrated.
Absolutely brilliant playing and sound .I would love the tabs to I believe in you .
Keep up the great work 🎸♥️💪🤘
Thx!
There will never be rock music ..like you and I lived through... experienced and continue to play...like the hard rock of the 8Os..for that I will always treasure and consider my self blessed !!!!
Same here bro!
Does anyone know what Dave's stutter effect pedal was/is? He used it on solos in the good old days.

Thanks man!
I have everything they ever played. Plus Meniketti had a few blues albums too.
Yeah Meniketti’s self titled solo record still gets some play time around here.
I used to have that Masters of Metal cassette I wore it out.
You really are a great player and teacher.
Thank you Rene!
awesome stuff
Thanks!

Thanks man, good to have you onboard!
Maybe I should stop giving my age away by telling my stories!
Lol! I’m 54 bro. All that clean living I guess. 🤣
Hey Nick, Awesome video!! I was wondering if you like Vito Bratta of White Lion?
I love Vito! Going to do a White Lion video soon. Thanks for watching!
@@NickLaytonGuitar Awesome!! Thanks!!
It would be super cool if you would do a lesson/breakdown of "I'll cry for you" from the album Contagious.. One of Dave's most prolific instrumentals.
Great idea! I've been wanting to do some lead guitar oriented Meniketti stuff, so this would work nicely. I'll see what I can do :-)
@@NickLaytonGuitar that would be awesome. That has to be one of the top instrumentals around.. Im lookin forward to the vid.. 👍👍👍
That's not fair, you've been playing these songs for years. No wonder your I'll cry for you, sounded as good as Dave Meniketti himself. Just messing with you, your a good guitarist. Great song pick. Peace.
Thanks man, I love me some Y&T!
Nice tone....
Thanks!
