Ohh hell yeah saw them at a rock festival with BOC Joe Perry project while he was separated from Aerosmith there were a couple of other bands it was up in new Hampshire obelieve it was in May of 86 anyway Blackfoot ws fukin rocking best band that day IMHO they blew out the right channel of the PA system and it started smoking sparking and actually caught on fire the show was the day after a wedding so the reception was just continued up to and including just about every party favor know to man…lol
We hitched from Austin to Baltimore and got there as fast as if we drove. It was so different then. (pre-Manson) There was trust among strangers then. People would pick you up to see what you were about. Met some fine people along the way. Aaahhhh the 70s.
That’s pretty fucking awesome. It’s funny, looking at that poster, who got the higher billing. Canned Heat was one of the headliners, over Sly and the Family Stone, Santana and Janis Joplin?
I wondered the same thing! Who’s the Headliner?
Chicago was awesome with original guitarist Terry Kath still alive. Marshal Tucker Band when their guitarist Toy Caldwell was still alive. Janis was alive. Sly Stone was still alive. BB King was still alive. Herbie Mann was still alive…
OK Enough! I’m depressed now!
i think it may have been the fringe on homies jacket holding back the sales lol …listening to this song it makes me wonder if there was a new sound being forced by the studios in the 80s this beat sounds like a huey lewis beat it seems so many 70s rock bands got a new sound in the 80s that sounded like everyone else
The 70s seem to me (who wasn’t present) as very hairy, very sweaty, and very fun. Half the stuff I listen to in the “stoner rock/stoner metal/doom” genre is really just 70s rock worship, some with modern amplification and some with as vintage a sound as they can get.
I think I would have had a blast in the 70s, but I had a blast in the 90s instead.
Of course I understand the coolness of the dirt-bike, but why did it explode in popularity… Was it CHiPs ? Evel Knievel? Gas prices? Better stuff from ??? Didn’t Harley merge witha bowling-ball company & make shitty dirt bikes for a year or two?
C’mon@MysteryMoogtell us why everything is the way it is!
