The earliest film of LEFT END in concert. LEFT END was a featured act for 13 consecutive years at WHOT radio days at legendary Idora Park in Youngstown.
It's 2024 and in saw a Left End album at an antique store a few weeks back..Asking 65 dollars for it..Was tempted..i worked with Dennis for many years..At one time he was on a health regiment running 5 miles a day..but he went through many changes and challenges until he sadly passed..
Brings back childhood memories. I discovered Rock at the age of 3. Left End & Thin Lizzy & Steppenwolf were my favorite bands in the early 70's. I still have the 8-track edition of "Spoiled Rotten" somewhere in the archives, but too worn out to play. Went on *many* family trips to Idora Park & got to hear some Left End live shows at the park "a safe distance from the crazy hippies" (I was 8 with somewhat protective parents). At that age, my Dad could still lift me up to get a quick view above the crowd sometimes while waiting in line for the rides & the view from the "Rocket Ship" ride was pretty impressive. R.I.P Dennis!
Dennis Sesonsky aka Dennis T Menass was the lead singer. He died this year. RIP. Other band members included Jim Pulhala, Patsy Palombo, Tom Figinsky, Roy Guerrieri and Dave LeMasters.
Probably filmed with a Super-8 movie camera, and most had no sound channel back then. Cameras capable of recording sound were ridiculously expensive before about 1975. It was probably a film-to-video rip with audio dubbed from the album.
I was fourteen. Ten years later I was in the band! Love all the guys and Dennis was my hero. ❤️👍👍👍
Great Showmanship!!!
AWWWWW!! THOSE WERE THE DAYS!! SEEN THEM SO MANY TIMES!! GREAT BAND!!

I went to the 1974 WHOT Day show. Left End, Raspberries, and The DeFranco Family. It rained that day, but was a great memory for an 11-year old!!!!!!
What a lineup! Wish I could've seen that!!

That's a different recording of Bad Talkin' Lady compared to the album version, is it a single mix or something?

Who were the members of the band in this video ?
Where did you ever get this great footage? It sure brings back some wonderful memories. Ah, to be 15 again...
