45 Years Ago Today
Forums:
Forty-five years ago, I was at this show at Radio City. It was a smoking show, with many pre-dum songs in the second set, and the Other One -Wharf Rat were smoking.
Deep Elem Blues, Dark Hollow, I've Been All Around This World, On The Road Again, To Lay Me Down, Heaven Help The Fool, Ripple Alabama Getaway-> Promised Land, Peggy-O, Mama Tried-> Mexicali Blues, Loser, Minglewood Blues, Althea-> Lost Sailor-> Saint Of Circumstance Shakedown Street, Samson & Delilah, He's Gone-> Truckin'-> Drums*-> The Other One-> Wharf Rat-> Good Lovin', E: Johnny B. Goode
If memory serves, Billy Cobham sat in on drums for this show.

I really loved the Radio City shows; it was when I realized one or two shows were simply not enough.

It's amazing and humbling to think those SF & NYC shows were 45 years ago.
Truly a lifetime.
I'm not sure there's been a single time I've ever been in the Warfield since that I haven't thought about those shows.
They were signature events, at least for me, and they're one more thing we have Bill Graham and his staff to thank for.

I was able to make it to five
I was able to make it to five and attribute these shows to my "getting on the bus" even though I had seen them about 8 or 9 times already going back to 79.
I wish they would do an official release of the Radio City shows as a box set. Reckoning and Dead Set simply aren't enough. A box set of The Warfield works too or a combo, heck through in The Saenger too.
I saw Bobby & The Midnight's on Nov. 1 at the Capital in Pasiaic NJ. the night after 10/31/80. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8o38DNv_0c
