Friday Music: Your "Wonder Years".

[Redmt]

Saw the Airplane @ the Filmore.

Hah! I saw Jefferson Starship, Santana, Credence, Tower of Power, Eddie Money all at high school dances! I saw Janis Joplin and early Big Brother in a living room in the Haight when I was a little kid!!!

The entire Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 soundtrack is etched into my brain. Some of my favorites were

Made me think of this game. Man I just had serious nostalgia going thru that sound track and look at that game. Haha

Somebody please put up "White Rabbit"

In Pasadena the Rose Palace was the deal. I would sneak into the Troubadour, Ice House, Topanga Corral, the Shrine and the Paladium when I was 12-15...lol on my 10 speed.
Last show I saw before shipping out was at the Shrine. I took dad's Rover and a couple gals to see Cheech & Chong, T.O.P. ,Earth Wind & Fire, and Santana.

Doesn’t get much sexier than vocals from Stevie Nicks…

Last one for this week. I've told this story before. I was 13. My aunt scored a lakeside house with dock on Lake Shasta for a week. My cousin Susan was 18 and brought three smokin' foxy girlfriends with her. My other cousin, Mike, brought their family's 19' Sanger ski boat with 8 track.

These were the soundtrack for a week of getting up on one ski, wardrobe malfunctions, and generally realizing that the Female of the Species would be my life's pursuit. Years later Susan told me that my mother chewed her out because all the dad's were rubbernecking her friends. Two of the three were at my aunt's memorial. We had a good laugh talking about that goofy 13 year old kid.

The 8-track soundtrack for my coming of age.

Years later I visited my future wife's house in Santa Cruz County for the first time. Me using the car repair tactic to get a little closer. While she was freshening up I went through her record collection. When I saw this AWB classic album cover and Aaron Copland, I knew my chasing days were soon over. We've been together more that half our lives now.

They played at the Paladium almost as often as Steve Miller & J.Geils.

All this music brings back good and some bad memories. I got my first "education" at 13. Started smoking with the guys. Moved up the stupid ladder until I was 17 when I met my shorter half in 1968. 54 years later she's still definitely my smarter half. She wouldn't put up with the bullshit. She is overwhelmingly worth it. All my teenage buddies are dead. I'd be right with them if it wasn't for the cute little blonde chick.

Probably where Ric hooked up with his super model wife.......

There is hope for all us ugly dudes!

1st Doobie show was in Walnut Creek.
Al Greene, Curtis Mayfield, and the Isley Bros would play at the Baptist Church hall in Altadena. My soul roots.

 

[Brittany Chukarman]

I believe it was Otis Redding who told his manager, "Don't you ever book me following these MF'ers again."

Otis Redding or Wilson Pickett but I remember that also.

 

[geetar]

I agree with Betts...

That man knows the deal. Great tone in voice and guitar.

 

[Brittany Chukarman]

Saw the Airplane @ the Filmore.

Those psychedelic guitars. One guy would start jamming, the others would wait to see where he was going with it then slowly jump in until it all melded together. Add Grace Slick's vocals and it was magic.

 

[nwihunter]

Not sure if everyone already knows this but Stevie Ray Vaughan played guitar on this one.

 

[nwihunter]

The first three albums I ever bought were:

Prince - Purple Rain

Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil

Tears for Fears - Songs from the Big Chair

I could have picked theses exact same 3

This Friday’s music thread blew up so not sure if this one was played I wasn’t in the mood to go through and double check every single post but I’m going with this 80s classic and if it’s already been played who cares we’re playing it again, And if it hasn’t been played well even better
