Never saw Benetar, but i did see the
Plasmatics at the channel.

Anyone remember them ???

the Turkeys done! Of course I remember the late Wendy O.

YA VAN I remember the Plasmatics and the Channel -- Now stop with this stuff -- damn i'm really starting to feel old(er).:smash:

Ok how many went to the "Rat"?

Been to both the Channel and the Rat.....

Saw Big Audio Dynamite at the Channel.....been to the Rat a few times to see local bands, but got sick of the sticky tables and the :yak: filled Men's room....

Red, I miss the Living Room and the ''old" Lupos. Started going to Lupos as a sophmore in high school:smash: . Saw some great bands at both. Rainbow, Molly Hatchet, Black Flag, Foghat, Bon Jovi(it was the '80s) , Roomfull of Blues, The Machine, Physical Grafitti.

Anybody ever been to Club Babyhead? I saw IceT and Body Count at Babyhead with the entire Providence Police force waiting outside :eek: I'm not into rap but that was an incredible show. Thank God my hobbies have become more family orientated:rolleyes: :bounce: :smokin: :rollem: :yak: :sleeps:

The Machine Ahh - great Floyd tribute band!

The Rat, the Channel, all of the Father's bars (I worked at Father's Too for a couple years :cheers:), and all of the Allston/Brighton dives :eek5: ...



Anybody ever been to Club Babyhead? I saw IceT and Body Count at Babyhead with the entire Providence Police force waiting outside I'm not into rap but that was an incredible show. No, but I was the only white guy at the Nickelodeon for the PreScreaning of "Boyz in the Hood" - that was interesting ;) - but a great flick and a great crew I went with. My ex-fiance used to DJ the morning program at WILD. I used to joke that she was the only whit Jewish girl in America DJ'ing a Rap station

Pink Floyd's Animals tour at da Garden! Kind of foggy but I was there!

When I fish in my "machine" too long on cold days, sometimes I hear pigs in the wind.

WOOHOO. I can remember parts of those days !!!

"Hopelessly passing your time in the grassland away !!!"

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie Through pastures green
He leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives He releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate, Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

From Animals:::: remember the SHEEP !!!:cool:

I don't know exactly where I fit in agewise here, but that 50 year old Pat Benatar thing made me feel a little older. Then I remembered back to about 25 years ago in 1978, a club called the Compass Lounge on the Cape. Heard this great band, even bought an album they were selling for probably ten bucks. Right after that summer the Cars became one of the hottest bands in the nation.

dont anyone laugh, i stood in line for hours to see saturday night fever!! i was a dancing fool back then landsdowne st, celebration,the channel started out as disco use too call it the punch bowl so many fights went on in there!!! oh to have those days back!!! went to the rat in 78 had those picnic benches down stairs!!!

anyone here go see the cars at the prov civic center for $1.25 a ticket???

disco, race the clock drink specials.

there was a club in east providence that used to get some big name bands too anyone remember the name???

Bonrattis(sp way off??) or something that sounds like that. Where are all my brain cells when I need them!

How bout the Last Call Saloon in Prov. Some good blues up in there.

I saw Jimmy Hendrix's drummer - Mitch Mitchell at the Red Brick Tavern in Providence.

How could anyone listen to disco in the '70s when you had Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Lynard Skynard, the Stones, The Who etc, etc, etc coming out with new albumns and tours. That was the best rock era ever. DISCO????:laughs:

Disco = Today's HipHop & Rap? :D

Nahh, when I'm out fishing in the suds, I'm usually humming some Pink Floyd. You'd be amazed how "Wish you were here", Comfortably Numb" and "Welcome to the Machine" can tune the brain in to prepare for a hit (of Fish, come on now!)

3rd Album I ever bought was The Cars, right after paper route saved up enpough for a turntable...

Other good places:

Harpers Ferry
Play it again Sams
The Silly (tough for music though)
Grat Scotts (but a bit newer)

It's funny you should mention the groups you did. I live in that era as far as my listening preferences, and I don't know the difference between Averil Lavine and InSync. But twice recently while we were driving along, I played some classics (Freebird and Aqualung) and when they were over and we were half deaf from cranking the volume, my 13 year old said they were "awesome" and asked were they new groups. She couldn't believe it when I said the songs were older than she and her sister's ages combined........ "What song is it you wanna hear?"

Remember when the Channel was called "The Mad Hatter"?
I learned to drink there, on Wed. nights it was Drink and Drown night. 25 cents for 24 oz beer, 5 bucks to get in. but they played disco.
How about the Ark? the Dead played there ya know.

How about the Cape Cod Sweatbox Coliseum?:smash: I saw many concerts there.

I remember seeing Roomful of Blues at the living room.

Jimbo:

I now what you mean there. Thats happened with my kids too.

They still look at me funny though when I say that Led Zepplin was the best hard rock band EVER !!!!!!

My old haunt as a budding drinker was the beach comber on
wolly beach in Quincy.

I lived only crawling distance from there, and thats how I got home most nights.

Never really saw anyone famous there though.
But John Butcher Axis played there few times.

i knew we had something in common you dancin fool you!!! all that lsd type music was for the hippes!!! i was lookin for chicks while most of you were dreamin bout woodstock!!! ya know it brought me to today MRMACEYS A RAPPER IN DISGUISE!!!!! let me ryhme a few for yas!!! this is copyright protected im still workin on it!!!!

Sorry Ben - MM yer in The Gutter

I heard that about P.T. - he said he was doing "Research for his autoboigraphy"... Prbably not the best spin to put on it...

aaahhh.........disco=chicks...........I knew there had to be something to get white guys dancing to awful music;)

mrmacey, no you're wrong I hated disco music, but I put up with it and after a few 24 oz beers the girls had an easier time dragging me up on the dancefloor. I'm one of those white men who can't dance:)

Last time I was at the Channel, I think Crystal Ship was playing.

How about Mollys' ? anyone ever go there around 1980

Molly's in W.Rox or in Allston :D ? Lemme guess. You'd close Molly's then go over to Riley's Roast Beef for a Super Combo Suicide :hihi:

A little newer but the best bear selection on the East Coast might just be the Sunset Grille...

Been to all the "ROCK" places around Boston, plus the Paradise hmm.. Joe Cocker, Tom Petty, Cars, Motels, Cheap Trick, but my favorite was Lou Reed but only if he wasn't too messed up. Ok real old place Katie's now who remembers that one.

I can't picture Slip on a dance floor period, but one with the silver ball overhead with that snappy disco beat ringing in your ears, man I think I'm going to have nightmares tonight. Ok we need one of you photoshop wizards to put slips head on John Travolta's body, that will really complete the image....yikes.

Hmmmmm............A thought just occurred to me while enjoying this thread.........Maybe a load of 70s + 80s music to play would be in order for our party on 2/15 ??????? :confused: :btu: :confused:

Beetle, as long as it aint disco, cause DISCO SUCKS!! I can tolerate it now, but that was our mantra in high school. :hihi:

Oh, the nostalgia - Zeppelin, Skynyrd, Stones, Who, Floyd; I can't even find a decent radio station now. :rolleyes:

The sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older; shorter of breath, and one day closer to death (boy, that sounds depressing)

Ya I agree - no disco - only for the fact that i may revert back to the old days - drink too much - start dancing like a fool - at my shape and age you might have to get the EMT's with the defibrillator ! :D

Dancin Fool - That reminds me, forgot ZAPPA

I can't picture Slip on a dance floor period, but one with the silver ball overhead with that snappy disco beat ringing in your ears, man I think I'm going to have nightmares tonight.

:bshake: :bshake: :bshake: :bgi:

I'd pay real money to see Bruce hangin' out with the black leather crowd at the old Axis in Fenway. :laughs:

-WW

Oh, the nostalgia - Zeppelin, Skynyrd, Stones, Who, Floyd; I can't even find a decent radio station now.

You REALLY didn't think that would happen did you?

Now I was very mercifull.... ;)

cause DISCO SUCKS!! I can tolerate it now, but that was our mantra in high school. I agree - when I was in HS I wore the sheet kicker boots, unuttoned flanel shirts, LedZep concert Ts underneath, & "Death Before Disco" all over my school books - usually with a skull -n- dagger running thru a bleeding disco ball. Hehehe, and I thought I was being non-conformist :rollem:

That picture is going to keep me up tonight !!!

thanks....:smash: :smash:
