the seventies and eighties, where's your favorite place to go

Speaker 7 (11:14):
Now, Yes, well, I slang nine from seven to eleven
at night in the seventies and last was yes, right
across from the Herald newspaper. And I had come in
at seven o'clock at night, and the waitresseses told me
(11:38):
that any Sanda came in for lunch on this staff.
But his daughter's birthday was this week and she was
eighty seven, Jane Vanda, and that's the same age I am.
And I was telling the three Sunday at math on

about the good time. I miss Snatching Cole, I miss
Frank Sinatra, Miss Terry Como. I mean to me, that
was she was. I don't understand the kids' music today.

I can't make out one word, especially a naughty word.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But Frank, Perry Como, Nat King Cole all played at
one time. They all played in Boston.

and he just said, just seeing Sinatra, I was just like,
it's for him.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
That was that was.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
That was one of the things he loved seeing with Sinatra.
And I always say Sinatra, I love Sinatra. I think
he's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I saw Frank at the Desert in early nineteen nineties.
He obviously was not the man he had been in
the forties, fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties, but it was
still Frank Sinatra and you couldn't help but enjoy the show.
(14:07):
And I saw I saw Dean Martin on his own.
I saw Sammy Davis Junior with Jerry Lewis, of all people,
so I got to see the rat pack in a
disjointed way.

hung up. Happy New Year to you, Peggy. Yeah, to

Hot Dug Safari use downs as their backdrop.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
But they now this past summer they opened an outdoor
facility since they've renovated all the Suffolk Downs, they didn't
have an outdoor concert facility.
Speaker 13 (30:13):
Well they've got any room for parking, that's for sure, Oh, Jeff,
And I'd have to say the most unusual double bill
I sorry Suffolk was Aerosmith opening for Shy n O.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
But my f is a very popular band back.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Then, so then that should have reversed, should have opened
for Aerosmith.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Right, And I'd have to say the first show I
ever started Suffolk August eleventh, nineteen sixty six. My first
concert ever there the Beatles. The Beatles, you're going to
mention that.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
And do you remember who opened for them?
Speaker 4 (30:55):
The Rownettes, Bobby Helms burying the remains and the circle
in the circus. It's funny thing was, oh yeah, Specter
was sick. She did not sing on that show, just
like a red rubber ball.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Al, thank you, thank you for your call.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Al, thank you, I having a Godfunkle get that song

Hey Bob, how are you doing?
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Logan, I haven't talked with you in a long time.
Hey guys, well here I am.
Speaker 11 (32:23):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Hey quick one. You did the reverse headline and opening act,
the first one that came to my mind. And I'll
mention my Boston band in a minute. In the early eighties,
Lionel Ritchie was the headliner, and believe it or not,
on his tour, Tina Turner was the opening act. I
remember seeing that.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
It should have been the way around, was saying gonna comeback,
We're going to come back at that time.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
And about you're absolutely right, And about seven or eight
years later it was absolutely reversed. Tina Turner was headliner
and Lionel Richie opened up for her.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's what it should have been. Yeah, that she can
be my private dancer any day of the week.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
Hey, I've been in and out listening to your show tonight.
Did you happen to mention or did they qualify for
Boston Band The Cars?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
No one mentioned in the Cars. Uh did you mention that, Cleo?
Speaker 3 (33:32):
I did?
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Okay, I missed it. I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Yeah, Rick, he was from New Jersey. He is from
New Jersey.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
And WBCN was playing them a lot. And then all
of a sudden, because in seventy six, the big dance
in seventy six was the Cars Meat Loaf Boston, and
there was one other big and John Cougar was coming
(34:02):
up at that time too, so that was this. But
Boston was definitely dominating the music scene in the seventies.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Plus the disco.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Yeah, the Car's first singles came out in seventy eight.
I remember the summer of seventy eight.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Yeah, just what I needed.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
And best Friend's Girl okay, you're right.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
Yeah, and another another venue, sort of an obscure venue.
It's not it's not going to get the notoriety of
some of those Boston clubs, but they did get the Stompers.
Uh Kleil. You mentioned another band that played at this
place as well, and also Dale and I don't know
Dale and the Duds qualifies, but the mont Ponset down
(34:53):
in Halifax.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Don't know that one.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
It's right under right under fifty, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Hi.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
Bob thought to mention, good show. Thanksbout going, Bob.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Happy New Year, Mary in Boston, you're next on night side?
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Hey Mary?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
How you doing?
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Hi?
Speaker 14 (35:21):
Gentlemen, Happy New Year. So someone just stole my thunder.
I wanted to mention the Cars, but I grew up
in situate. When I was in my mid seventies, we
saw the Cars play at the Bell Boy restaurants. I
doubt anyone's ever heard of that. I was hoping that
the Bell Boy, Oh, we saw them play there before
(35:45):
ever they ever even became a big band. Yeah, mid seventies.
It's the cars do at Harbor.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Yeah, that's that's how you become popular.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
You have to tour. That was so fun.
Speaker 14 (35:55):
That was crazy.
Speaker 12 (35:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (35:58):
And then I did want to mention I guess somebody
mentioned the Sands and Hull, but I was there when
it was Uncle Sam's. Yes, okay, okay. And then one
other thing. You mentioned Proper Bellies. But did anybody mention
the mill Hill Club? I used to love going there.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
Somebody else mentioned I think, yeah, they did mention.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
It, Okay, okay.
Speaker 14 (36:22):
I listened to most of the show. Sorry, gentlemen.
Speaker 11 (36:24):
I guess I.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
Missed a few of the of your.
Speaker 14 (36:29):
Guests, but many great show. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Mary. I know you were a well behaved young lady
down in the Cape in those days.
Speaker 14 (36:39):
Morgan, we won't go there. Oh, let's say I had
a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Okay, fair enough, and I hope is a great year
for you.
Speaker 14 (36:51):
Okay, thank you, thank you so much. I appreciate that, Morgan,
love your show. Take care, Mary, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
And this will be the last call. Well, Rob, take
the call, put them on hold. We'll see what happens
after Michael, Michael and Foxborough.
Speaker 15 (37:08):
Welcome Morgan and Cleo and Cleo. I met you at
the Fallout Shelter the beginning of the year with Lady Anamoya.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Oh we have Mike Merlin. How you doing?
Speaker 6 (37:21):
How you doing, Mike Marland. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (37:23):
I'm good, Well, I'm all over the well.
Speaker 15 (37:27):
Thank you for taking my call. I'm going to be
all over the map with what i have to say.
I know we're talking about greater Boston, but in Worcester
we gotta mention Sir Morgan's Cove where the Rolling Stones played.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Oh yes, that and they had what was that the
Steal Steal Steel Wheels concert and they only that place
only had like two hundred capacity.
Speaker 15 (37:55):
Right, it's no longer their sadly, it's an apartment complex
near the New Ballpark. And we should give some credit
to folk music in Boston club Passium.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
And Cambridge definitely we should, yes, and also some.
Speaker 15 (38:14):
Folk musicians from out of Boston, especially Patty Larkin.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
I heard yep.
Speaker 15 (38:23):
I have some an album in my hand Rounder Folk
Volume one Rounder Records from out of Cambridge and they
have some musicians on their compilation album. And there used
to be a folk magazine called Fast Folk Musical Magazine
and they have a compilation of folk singers from Boston.
(38:45):
They had compilation albums from like New York, Boston, Los Angeles.
It's it's a great album. And then I'm going to
go beyond folk to a lot of punk music that
came out of Boston. In my hands, this a suffer
this album. It's from a record company out of Boston.
(39:08):
It's almost similar to what Tang Records did for their
artists and the musicians, uh from the eighties around this
compilation album. Hula Baloo, The Dogmatic, Yep, Hectic, Hey Day,
(39:30):
Feeding Frenzy, this other band called five so they're are
on this compilation album I have. Boston is a great city,
was a great city for different types of music. And
I know you talked mostly about rock musicians, but there's
other great types of rock that came out of Boston
(39:52):
that had an impact nationally and internationally.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Well.
Speaker 6 (39:57):
One group I want to bring up because you mentioned,
was the group called Orpheus and they're going to mention
that too.
Speaker 15 (40:03):
I have that album too.
Speaker 11 (40:04):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
There so yeah, I can't find the time to tell
you such a great song. Yeah, it is you know,
I mean it didn't. It was a local hit, but
they're the only group that really you know, they covered
it and they actually chatted. Was a group called Rose
Colored Glasses, which was a group I think from England,
(40:28):
and also Hoody and the Blowfish did it for the
album for it was a Jim Carriery album where he
had to split personality. I forgot the name of.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
This, but myself Irene Irene.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
Yeah great, I mean they did a great job with
it as well.
Speaker 15 (40:46):
So and I'm going to go West of Worcester mentioned
this band that was great in the seventies, four albums
on Capitol Records didn't break through as much, but from
Western Mass John Thussart Dark Band, Oh yeah, and John
Poussart is touring with two other musicians from his original
band in smaller venues like the Cannon Natick Narrows in
(41:12):
Far Wherever, other small venues like that, and he's still
currently touring. I saw him at t Can in September
and it was great.
Speaker 2 (41:21):

who was probably most qualified to discuss this subject, Roger Tarpowitz,
(06:38):
who wants in college, wrote a letter to Mark Goodson
and Bill Toddman. They answered, he got a chance to
interview with them. He interned and worked his way up
the ladder and for over thirty years was the executive

going to be joining me tomorrow at eight Ken Mayer,
former producer of Larry Glick, is going to be joining
me for two hours from nine to eleven, and he

(07:21):
going to give give you the setup of what I'm
doing with Ken tomorrow. What is that I'd want to
set up a hall of fame, Hall of fame of
TV actors, Oh, who have had at least ten years
of prime time experience. And now I'm going to give
(07:43):
you an actor wh did I write his name? Tim Reid?
Why is Tim Reid going to be on ten years?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Bonnie Bonnie Miller?

I watched. I never knew he was on Simon and Simon.
I never watched that show.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
He was the police. Every detective show has the policeman contact. Yeah,
he was in police contact. So that gave him over
ten years of primetime exposure. There are plenty of people
like James Onness. They were on for twenty years in
a row. But whether you're on one show for ten
(08:49):
plus years or a number of shows for ten plus years.
Ken and I are going to be discussing that tomorrow

Now back to Dan Ray Mine from the Window World,

WBZ News Radio. Oh my goodness, this past hour in
fifteen minutes has been phone hot, full line, many many,
many memories about both groups, bands, performers, and clubs. That's
what we're talking about. If you were around Boston in
(10:09):
the seventies and eighties, where's your favorite place to go
to catch a live act? Of some sort. Chuck and Arlington.
You're next. I'm guessing Chuck is going to talk about
faces since we found out they were in Arlington.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Hello Chuck, Hi Chuck, Chuck.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You're there, Chuck in Arlington, going once, going twice. Goodbye, Chuck.

And I keeps playing my music because he played music
around Christmas as I called to.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
Tell him that him and you know that.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Now, Yes, well, I slang nine from seven to eleven
at night in the seventies and last was yes, right
across from the Herald newspaper. And I had come in
at seven o'clock at night, and the waitresseses told me
(11:38):
that any Sanda came in for lunch on this staff.
But his daughter's birthday was this week and she was
eighty seven, Jane Vanda, and that's the same age I am.
And I was telling the three Sunday at math on
the Saint Agels of Pope and he sets me, but
(12:01):
you've been of looking I'm cute and he helped me
to understands because they have a cane. But I'm thinking
also of Paul's Mall, and I just told me what
my cousin, Yeah, I'm not said the middle of that
(12:26):
Paul's Mall. She sat with us, and I told her
that she was going.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
Places and she certainly did.
Speaker 10 (12:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
But anyway, anyway, so good to hear you two talk
about the good time. I miss Snatching Cole, I miss
Frank Sinatra, Miss Terry Como. I mean to me, that
was she was. I don't understand the kids' music today.
(12:58):
I can't make out one word, especially a naughty word.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But Frank, Perry Como, Nat King Cole all played at
one time. They all played in Boston.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Yeah, Sinatra did a tour with yea was I think
Dee Martin and Eliza Manelli and they played at the
Boston Garden. That was you know my Yeah, My buddy
went to see the his father went to see the show,
and he just said, just seeing Sinatra, I was just like,
it's for him.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
That was that was.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
That was one of the things he loved seeing with Sinatra.
And I always say Sinatra, I love Sinatra. I think
he's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I saw Frank at the Desert in early nineteen nineties.
He obviously was not the man he had been in
the forties, fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties, but it was
still Frank Sinatra and you couldn't help but enjoy the show.
(14:07):
And I saw I saw Dean Martin on his own.
I saw Sammy Davis Junior with Jerry Lewis, of all people,
so I got to see the rat pack in a
disjointed way.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So so, Peggy, Peggy, you're still there, I guess she
hung up. Happy New Year to you, Peggy. Yeah, to
go to John and Stoughton. Is this the John and
Stoughton that used to be a regular caller.

of musical acts come in Westgate Lounge.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Yes, the same place. That's the same place. Yeah, you mentioned.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
That's why I said they need to be mentioned as
one of those places that had great musical acts performed there.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
And they also switched the name the Caffety's because the
guy like John Katherine and the Beaver Brown band in
which he brought the band there to play and that
was a great show. I've actually seen that show.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Okay, well you know, okay, get it a caller. I

this open line? Six one, seven, five, four, ten thirty
or eight eight, eight, nine, nine ten thirty will be
the last person for you and I to entertain here
(26:25):
on night side. We've got Bob and Al. But there's
room for one more QT TV show from the sixties.
Let's go up somebody took it. Let's go to Chelmsford
and speak to al L.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
How you doing Al?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah? God, I hate that song. Yeah, but venues I
would act is the main act which was right over
the right over the General Edward Ridge from Revere into Lynn.
(27:03):
It was the old motel. Then you had uh Jonathan
Swift's Oh yes, and of course the Channel. Well we've
been mentioning the Channel it was mentioned. Okay, yeah, but
one did where did you hang out?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Mostly the Channel?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
And what band act did you see there that you recall?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
You got the dol Fuegos. Great? We just played a
reunion show this past weekend at the City Winery. Okay, Uh,
the one on the Stompers yet great? Great band? Uh
Baron's Woodfield Nice? Oh you went to that show? I
(27:54):
know what show you're talking about. Yeah, that was a
great I wish I mean I wish I went. Honestly,
I wish I went. I saw it because they were advertising.
Because John Butcher actually played a show too, didn't he.
Uh yeah yeah, And then of course Duke and the Drivers, Yes,
(28:18):
very much so good band. But it's funny if you
go with the del Fuego's what their you know, great
boss and band. What they're all doing now, what are
they doing? At least Dan Zanes I have to call
him the modern day Rothie. Him and his wife child
put singers for kids.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Oh what a geese in the drama runs right turn.
It's a place for musicians and others for alcohol and
drug problems to get them going. Warren Zanes wrote Tom
Petty auto, uh autobiography. He just wrote, uh, the new
(29:04):
Springsteene book that's being made into a movie about what
he was his life was doing making Nebraska okay, and
Tom Lloyd he works at NASA.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Going from a rock band to working at NASA.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Yeah. Well, you know, you know what's funny about the
Dela Fagos. They were considered the number one bar band
for like two years straight. Oh yeah, back in the ladies.
Such a great band, such a great much so, and
of course you had some great chows of suffolk Downs
(29:43):
during the STU.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yes, it's a shame man. She used as closed up
because a lot of great performers, musical acts Eddie Emleman's
Hot Dug Safari use downs as their backdrop.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
But they now this past summer they opened an outdoor
facility since they've renovated all the Suffolk Downs, they didn't
have an outdoor concert facility.
Speaker 13 (30:13):
Well they've got any room for parking, that's for sure, Oh, Jeff,
And I'd have to say the most unusual double bill
I sorry Suffolk was Aerosmith opening for Shy n O.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
But my f is a very popular band back.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Then, so then that should have reversed, should have opened
for Aerosmith.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Right, And I'd have to say the first show I
ever started Suffolk August eleventh, nineteen sixty six. My first
concert ever there the Beatles. The Beatles, you're going to
mention that.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
And do you remember who opened for them?
Speaker 4 (30:55):
The Rownettes, Bobby Helms burying the remains and the circle
in the circus. It's funny thing was, oh yeah, Specter
was sick. She did not sing on that show, just
like a red rubber ball.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Al, thank you, thank you for your call.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Al, thank you, I having a Godfunkle get that song
Happy New Year?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah, Happy New Year is new I didn't know that
Simon and Gardfunkle.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Yeah all right, yeah they woke up.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
There is one open line.

Speaker 6 (32:16):
Hey Bob, how are you doing?
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Logan, I haven't talked with you in a long time.
Hey guys, well here I am.
Speaker 11 (32:23):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Hey quick one. You did the reverse headline and opening act,
the first one that came to my mind. And I'll
mention my Boston band in a minute. In the early eighties,
Lionel Ritchie was the headliner, and believe it or not,
on his tour, Tina Turner was the opening act. I
remember seeing that.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
It should have been the way around, was saying gonna comeback,
We're going to come back at that time.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
And about you're absolutely right, And about seven or eight
years later it was absolutely reversed. Tina Turner was headliner
and Lionel Richie opened up for her.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's what it should have been. Yeah, that she can
be my private dancer any day of the week.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
Hey, I've been in and out listening to your show tonight.
Did you happen to mention or did they qualify for
Boston Band The Cars?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
No one mentioned in the Cars. Uh did you mention that, Cleo?
Speaker 3 (33:32):
I did?
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Okay, I missed it. I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Yeah, Rick, he was from New Jersey. He is from
New Jersey.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
And WBCN was playing them a lot. And then all
of a sudden, because in seventy six, the big dance
in seventy six was the Cars Meat Loaf Boston, and
there was one other big and John Cougar was coming
(34:02):
up at that time too, so that was this. But
Boston was definitely dominating the music scene in the seventies.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Plus the disco.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Yeah, the Car's first singles came out in seventy eight.
I remember the summer of seventy eight.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Yeah, just what I needed.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
And best Friend's Girl okay, you're right.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
Yeah, and another another venue, sort of an obscure venue.
It's not it's not going to get the notoriety of
some of those Boston clubs, but they did get the Stompers.
Uh Kleil. You mentioned another band that played at this
place as well, and also Dale and I don't know
Dale and the Duds qualifies, but the mont Ponset down
(34:53):
in Halifax.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Don't know that one.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
It's right under right under fifty, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Hi.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
Bob thought to mention, good show. Thanksbout going, Bob.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Happy New Year, Mary in Boston, you're next on night side?
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Hey Mary?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
How you doing?
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Hi?
Speaker 14 (35:21):
Gentlemen, Happy New Year. So someone just stole my thunder.
I wanted to mention the Cars, but I grew up
in situate. When I was in my mid seventies, we
saw the Cars play at the Bell Boy restaurants. I
doubt anyone's ever heard of that. I was hoping that
the Bell Boy, Oh, we saw them play there before
(35:45):
ever they ever even became a big band. Yeah, mid seventies.
It's the cars do at Harbor.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Yeah, that's that's how you become popular.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
You have to tour. That was so fun.
Speaker 14 (35:55):
That was crazy.
Speaker 12 (35:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (35:58):
And then I did want to mention I guess somebody
mentioned the Sands and Hull, but I was there when
it was Uncle Sam's. Yes, okay, okay. And then one
other thing. You mentioned Proper Bellies. But did anybody mention
the mill Hill Club? I used to love going there.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
Somebody else mentioned I think, yeah, they did mention.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
It, Okay, okay.
Speaker 14 (36:22):
I listened to most of the show. Sorry, gentlemen.
Speaker 11 (36:24):
I guess I.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
Missed a few of the of your.
Speaker 14 (36:29):
Guests, but many great show. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Mary. I know you were a well behaved young lady
down in the Cape in those days.
Speaker 14 (36:39):
Morgan, we won't go there. Oh, let's say I had
a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Okay, fair enough, and I hope is a great year
for you.
Speaker 14 (36:51):
Okay, thank you, thank you so much. I appreciate that, Morgan,
love your show. Take care, Mary, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
And this will be the last call. Well, Rob, take
the call, put them on hold. We'll see what happens
after Michael, Michael and Foxborough.
Speaker 15 (37:08):
Welcome Morgan and Cleo and Cleo. I met you at
the Fallout Shelter the beginning of the year with Lady Anamoya.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Oh we have Mike Merlin. How you doing?
Speaker 6 (37:21):
How you doing, Mike Marland. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (37:23):
I'm good, Well, I'm all over the well.
Speaker 15 (37:27):
Thank you for taking my call. I'm going to be
all over the map with what i have to say.
I know we're talking about greater Boston, but in Worcester
we gotta mention Sir Morgan's Cove where the Rolling Stones played.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Oh yes, that and they had what was that the
Steal Steal Steel Wheels concert and they only that place
only had like two hundred capacity.
Speaker 15 (37:55):
Right, it's no longer their sadly, it's an apartment complex
near the New Ballpark. And we should give some credit
to folk music in Boston club Passium.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
And Cambridge definitely we should, yes, and also some.
Speaker 15 (38:14):
Folk musicians from out of Boston, especially Patty Larkin.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
I heard yep.
Speaker 15 (38:23):
I have some an album in my hand Rounder Folk
Volume one Rounder Records from out of Cambridge and they
have some musicians on their compilation album. And there used
to be a folk magazine called Fast Folk Musical Magazine
and they have a compilation of folk singers from Boston.
(38:45):
They had compilation albums from like New York, Boston, Los Angeles.
It's it's a great album. And then I'm going to
go beyond folk to a lot of punk music that
came out of Boston. In my hands, this a suffer
this album. It's from a record company out of Boston.
(39:08):
It's almost similar to what Tang Records did for their
artists and the musicians, uh from the eighties around this
compilation album. Hula Baloo, The Dogmatic, Yep, Hectic, Hey Day,
(39:30):
Feeding Frenzy, this other band called five so they're are
on this compilation album I have. Boston is a great city,
was a great city for different types of music. And
I know you talked mostly about rock musicians, but there's
other great types of rock that came out of Boston
(39:52):
that had an impact nationally and internationally.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Well.
Speaker 6 (39:57):
One group I want to bring up because you mentioned,
was the group called Orpheus and they're going to mention
that too.
Speaker 15 (40:03):
I have that album too.
Speaker 11 (40:04):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
There so yeah, I can't find the time to tell
you such a great song. Yeah, it is you know,
I mean it didn't. It was a local hit, but
they're the only group that really you know, they covered
it and they actually chatted. Was a group called Rose
Colored Glasses, which was a group I think from England,
(40:28):
and also Hoody and the Blowfish did it for the
album for it was a Jim Carriery album where he
had to split personality. I forgot the name of.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
This, but myself Irene Irene.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
Yeah great, I mean they did a great job with
it as well.
Speaker 15 (40:46):
So and I'm going to go West of Worcester mentioned
this band that was great in the seventies, four albums
on Capitol Records didn't break through as much, but from
Western Mass John Thussart Dark Band, Oh yeah, and John
Poussart is touring with two other musicians from his original
band in smaller venues like the Cannon Natick Narrows in
(41:12):
Far Wherever, other small venues like that, and he's still
currently touring. I saw him at t Can in September
and it was great.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
All right, Michael, I got one more person to get on.
