What are you listening to, right now?

These guys are from the Sacramento area. A couple good friends of ours were friends with them when they were playing clubs back in the early to mid 80’s.

There was this place in Costa Mesa called the Cuckoo's Nest where all the punk bands of the day used to play. My cousin's band The Crowd played there all the time. I was pretty young but I went to a gig or two and ran the lights for their set from the 2nd story "band room" loft area. The Cuckoo's Nest shared a parking lot with a country western bar and grill named Zubie's. You would have a ton of people from the Nest hanging out in the parking lot nightly. There were always fights between the punks and cowboys. The Vandals wrote this song about the scene at the time.

My BIL is punk and lived a few blocks away.

Love this song. Maybe it's not a good thing, but we played it a lot and my (now) 18-year daughter used to sing along lol.

This one too, a nicely family tune before sending daughter off to the pricey Christian school

Filmed on November 25 1976 (Thanksgiving) at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Shot on 35mm film, the Farewell concert for "The Band"

"The Last Waltz" Greatest Music Documentary of all time.

Right on, I always thought it was a Joan Baez song. Never knew that.

 

[C-2]

I like that one too.

Remember back in the day, EVERYBODY liked Journey. Maybe that's because there was no rap and country wasn't mainstream, and pop was well, pop.

Plenty of hook-ups because of them. It was so simple..."so you into the new Journey song?"

Hey HTTP, you sound like you're from the OC, did you see these guys at the Pacific? Blind Melon, Social D, and Neil Young? Had to be about 93' or so.

I almost fell out of my seat when I saw my prim and proper English accented MIL take the biggest hit off a joint as it was passed down the entire row of seats, lol. She's the biggest stoner. Her and her other little old lady friend from England, lol.

This was kind of cool, 1964 concert movie filmed at the Santa Monica Civic, and brought to you by E-L-E-C-T-R-O-V-S-I-O-N

Highlights - Jan & Dean sang their famous songs, as did the Beach Boys from the surf era, they could have gave Chuck Berry more time, Marvin Gaye was young and had not yet been given his hit songs, Smokey Robinson was MEH, Diana Ross/Supremes, wow, awesome but only two songs, a young James Brown danced like a mutha fucca and stole the show, Rolling Stones had Brian Jones with them and sang their cover "It's All Over Now."

And, Toni Basil (the song "Mickey) was an assistant dance coordinator....dang, she was old when Mickey came out, geesh.

And oh yeah, one of those dancers must finished the show with black eyes.

I love that song. The story is killer Pat Brown did try to run the cops down.

From wiki
As tensions mounted within the community regarding the Cuckoo's Nest, the police started to station themselves outside of the club on a nearly nightly basis and started cracking down hard on both the punks and the club itself. Undercover officers, usually posing as cowboys but sometimes as punks, started to be a regular sight in the parking lot. Arrests became commonplace in and around the club, for even the tiniest infraction (jaywalking and littering were popular offenses), and steadily escalated to the point where business started to suffer. There was a very real threat that patrons could be arrested for any number of reasons before they ever even stepped inside the club.

This ultimately led to an incident in the parking lot on the night of January 30, 1981, when an infamous punk and club regular named Pat Brown attempted to run over two police officers with his car.[2] According to an eyewitness account of Casey Royer, Brown was driving through the parking lot with a group of friends while he had a beer in his hand, looking for a place to park. He was stopped by a man dressed as a cowboy, who approached the car, quickly told Pat that he was a cop, and reached inside the car to presumably put it in park. Pat punched the gas and took off, with the undercover officer hanging onto the car. An on-duty officer was catapulted over the hood of the car, who had come to backup the other officer, who some[who?] say Pat intentionally swerved to hit. The undercover officer was dragged several hundred feet before letting go and firing three shots into Brown's car, which had upwards of two passengers in it. He then ripped out of the parking lot and sped up Plancentia Avenue with no headlights on. No one was seriously injured, although both officers were taken to the hospital. Brown was pulled over a few blocks away for his headlights not being on, but was quickly arrested for attempted murder, after he was beaten severely by the police. Soon after the incident, the Costa Mesa city council revoked the entertainment permit for the Cuckoo's Nest, alleging that the clubs patrons were unruly and violent. Roach took the matter to court, claiming that the city had violated the constitutional rights of free speech and liberty for both himself and the punks. In March 1981, an Orange County Superior Court judge ruled in favor of the city, and rejected the allegations that the city had at any point been unjustly fair in its decision. However, less than a month later the California Supreme Court overturned the lower court's ruling, and The Nest was allowed to reinstate live music, much to the disapproval of the city. In total, Roach had been fighting the city for nine months to ensure that the basic freedoms of himself and his customers couldn't be trampled, with no help from anyone.

Thanks, never knew that. Isn't there a YT vid about the Cuckoo's nest? Russell had a glass shop right there at Placentia/17th(? been a few years). Wasn't Zubies also on the corner of Placentia?

Austin City Limites did a live streaming event the weekend before last with Duran Duran. they still sound great.

 

[Willie B]

… it is entirely possible that all of this or some of these guitar jams were done at the Brass Ring the second night of their three night stand…with the Wally Haider trucks out at the curb recording all three nights… First night was with horns… Second night mostly instrumentals… w/Jim Price on second keyboard…Third night Derek and the Dominos did a lot of blues tunes with vocals…no second keyboard… But Duane Allman was there all three nights…
… Lived with Jim Price’s sister three different times… never told him that I might be the reason the horns were gone… I had made a suggestion to somebody that had influence???…woops…
… Might have been the three most memorable nights in music I have ever experienced…
… I don’t know why my memory would be a little foggy on this… I mean after all it was only 51 years ago???…
