I still remember recording both Tonight Shows on my VCR a year apart.
I agree, this was the real deal. 1st clip, Dickey Bett is using Marshall/ SLO. 2nd show, just SLO.
The tone of Warren's Red Strat/ SOL, amazing, every time I've heard it. Dickey on top of things. You can see who's running the band.

Not a great recording, but prime 80's Trower, just tearing it up.
Back then he was using Squire Strats, Boss pedals. When I miss the old Trower, I put this clip on.

I wasn't a "weed dealer" I was a man with connections

don’t be so modest-if it were me by now the story would have morphed into:
“i was moving kilos of opium a week via elephant through the amazon to remain inconspicuous. had to slap Elvis once for trying to shag my chick.”

 

[SpiderWars]

To me, this is one of the best songs of the 70s.

This is one of my top albums of all time and this is one of my favorite songs from it.

Another offering:


Maybe it’s cuz I just love double-necks.

“Hi Brad, you know how cute I always thought you were.”
Made this song famous.

Again. Famous again. It was pretty big when it came out. Just too long for radio play, especially since it’s more or less a medley with All Mixed Up.

Album was great. A new group of listeners arrived when “Fast Times”” came out. And with the release of “shake it up” the cars made it. Legit band. Really catchy tunes. Guitarist was goofyly good

The whole band was perfectly complimentary. Ben Orr might possibly be the coolest mother fucker in rock and roll history. Watch those old videos from ‘78 and ‘79. The Cars first two albums are killer. The Shake it Up, new wave stuff was a disappointment to me.

I have this DVD. It’s great.

This is killer shit here. Have you ever heard the original version from when they were calling themselves Milkwood ?

See I think shake it up was the beginning of a movement. The cars. Blondie devo. U2. Adam ant. The human league.
The beginning of MTV. Goofy. But it worked for about 5 years.

 

[hammered]

Love this ABB era

Way cool. Skinny ties, tight leotard shirts, and Rick O’Casek so skinny he looks like he is wearing a rain coat.
Other than the original Queen with FM, the Cars are other only band that I wish I had seen.

 

[Jack Luminous]

I always loved that song :
