Pirates Ball

Forums:

For anyone who might have been there or just remembers this show, a friend sent me this cool link. An amazing night sailing around Manhattan. It was Jerry's first show with Wolf. I remember lots of tanks of nitrous being loaded by the Hell's Angels before we sailed and the boat rocking at midnight as we rounded Manhattan and they broke into After Midnight.

interesting, thanks for sharing!

nice video quality

Thanks, Jamspace. I've watched the video before, but hadn't seen Jerry Moore's write-up of the event.

First heard on the radio that  people were on both NY & New Jersey shore to hear the music of JGB. We headed down & I remember People being interviewed about what they thought of the Hells Angels.  Didn't know why at first. After a set of probably Elephant's Memory, there were so many people blocking traffic on the Bridge, the Coast Guard made the boat go back to the dock. My friend had connections and we ended up getting onboard.  I also remember all the choppers lined up & the nitrous tanks.  Incredible night.  Definitely closer to 4-500 people as I recall.
