Cool,My first was Lou Reed-Mann Music Center,Philly-New York tour-Rockn' roll literature!Dan Hartman-wrote a grip of great songs well into late 80's-rare that great artists came from Harrisburg,PA.:)
I'd take that Rick James-P-Funk show over led zeppelin any/every day of the week-including being the only white boy=way cool brother....
I see where LA guns is doing the little Hells bells intro into never enough in 2023. It’s pretty cool.
They've been doing that for a few years now. I saw a few 2019 shows and it was part of the set list back then.
My first concert was Aerosmith around 1977 I think. Other early concerts were Yes and ELP. Our parents used to drop us off and pick us up at the Providence Civic Center in RI. Got more into punk in the 80s. My first punk concert was X at Brown University, early 80s. Wish I had saved all my ticket stubs.
Thanks for the story and thanks for watching!
I think my first was also Skynyrd in 74, at the Spectrum. The Outlaws did open. I had a Ticketron hook-up and went to everything. Back then it was general admission and the front row was really front row, you were pushed up leaning over the edge of the stage. It was an amazing time.
Truly an amazing time ! Thanks for watching🙏
My brother saw that same Humble Pie/ Angel show in Detroit
Nice!!!!
Been watching your videos all day man, love hearing about the day-to-day stuff and what of rock n roll ✌️
Thank you ! 🙏
Sweet CREEM hoodie!
I loved Creem Magazine-really boned up on The Velvet Underground in that mag!Lester Bang's writings are legendary!First time I heard of GNR,which made me buy it in July 1987-at that time it was considered an underground/alternative record,like Sonic Youth or Teenage Fanclub-just the facts:)
Thank you!!!
My cousin was a P-funk all star. I got to see a couple of shows. It was pretty awesome.
Wow very cool!!!
@@beforeiforget1985 SO very cool! I had such a crush on him as a kid. His mom had a pic of him hanging prominently in her house, wearing his Mothership Tour outfit - silver pants and cape, no shirt. It was the first ever interaction that gave me any validation for my wild dreams of a creative life as a performer. Skeet and I are still close. One of my favorite cousins. 😊
It was cool to hear which concerts you went to early on! Great video
Thank you for watching!
You seen some really great stuff. I'm pretty much just like you when it comes to music there's no boundries. Today I pretty much stick to Zeppelin. Just as you were saying I never got a chance to see Zeppelin I was about to ask. Like you are with the stones that's me with Zeppelin. The day Bonzo died I was cutting school to go to the ticket office to get tickets. I was walking across the parking lot and high school was divided into different lunches so after 4th period there were always people in the lot listening to the radio and it came over the radio John died. I think it was like may and the show was going to be in September or October but I'm not sure but I remember tickets were going on sale.
The stones and zep. Doesn’t get much better than that!
@@beforeiforget1985 really interested in your thoughts on todays heavy rock/metal. I kind of got into some of them Avenged, Five Finger, Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless but they don't seem to have staying power with me. I really like God Smack but they seem to regurgitate their sound. I was into Gretta Van Fleet for a fleeting moment until I seen them and well it was disappointing. I never really felt they were the next Zeppelin like many have said. I had heard them cover Zeppelin byt they did a Doors cover that sounded more like the Doors then they did Zeppelin. Just wondering if you could touch on that ty in advance.
Didn't Vinnie Vincent play guitar for Dan Hartman for a little while? I can only imagine there was only room for one gigantic ego in that band lol
Yes! I forgot about that. He played on Dans album Instant Replay. Two egos that couldn’t last together!
Yes played under his real name Vincent Cusano
Hey Mike, I was on amazon and just saw pre-order for the kindle book... Is the book going to be listed to buy on May 15th? or am I not seeing it somewhere on amazon? Cover looks great!
Hello! Amazon only does pre order on the kindle version. Soft cover available to buy on May 15!! Thank you !!
@Before I Forget ok, cool. I've never read a book via Kindle... and hope I never do... I'm a paper lover. Ok, great, I'll be there on May 15th to buy.
I forgot to ask if yr doing a book tour? But I assume not, because I'm sure you would have mentioned it.
I've met a few authors thru book signings.
I wanted to meet Hunter S. Thompson, but he shot himself in 2005.
A great example of how very long term drug use destroys your brain and thinking. Didn't mean to ramble,.. take care and can't wait to read the book. Peace from Stillwater, Oklahoma.
My first concert kiss slaughter Faster Pussycat.
I was 12 years old. Begged my mother to take me I cannot go to a concert by myself with my best friend until 13. His mother wouldn’t let him go yet lol they were bunch of Catholics anyway I begged my mom to take me she took me into this day. She is still half DEEF Lmao she stuffed cotton in her ears stayed up on the side bleachers seating area is not like I expect her to go down to the floor lol.. me I took my sweet cheeks right down to the floor, general admin
