wow, that show really Rocked! That’s a cool flyer With a terrific little map and coupon as well! And the show went on until 1 am . 3 bands for 5 hours, that is a real good show. Have you ever been to a place called the Starwood?



He really was unique! We have this Hawkwind CD and these Motorhead accessories .

Never got to see Motorhead unfortunately but Lemmy was a regular for a long time at The Rainbow Bar & Grill on Sunset in Hollywood.
Not sure if you knew that. He was always so accessible to his fans and others alike. What a totally cool dude/rockstar.

Been to the Starwood (regular venue for all the up & coming bands as much so as The Whisky & Troubadour) several times and seen pre 1st. Lp Van Halen (again) w/ Smile farewell to the Starwood show, pre 1st. Lp Motley Crue and others. Smile we're excellent. The bass player played his bass so hard that he kept breaking strings lol. Not easy to break bass strings I'm sure you know.
Sure was bummed when the place closed down for good. I remember a time when I seen Motley Crue's pre 1st. lp show again this time at the Troubadour in Hollywood and they sucked sooooo bad they got boo'd off stage. They were drunk and sloppy as fuck.
Another time I was at the Troubadour to see Racer X w/ Paul Gilbert (smokin' guitarist out of GIT) and the venue was heavily smoked out and my back was killing me from standing for so long that I went out front to get some fresh air and stretch my back, out front the sidewalk was empty and out comes Vince Neal (Motley singer) wearing faded jeans and a long white T-shirt and we were standing together and he proceeded to tell me that he was waiting for a cab to bring him to go record his 1st. Lp. I forget how I responded probably said something like "wayyyy cool". Van Halen also got ripped out of their heads from drinking that they have had many fans leave their shows due to that they were sloppy as fuck and sucked bad including at the '83 US Festival I was at where they headlined and they sucked so bad 1/2 the audience (10's of 1000's) left while they were playing. Have you been to the Starwood?

Two of my biggest regrets not seeing Led Zeppelin and John Martyn in concert.

Like you one of my biggest regrets was not seeing Led Zeppelin. Had the chance when I was in middle school
when a few of my friends got tickets to see them at the Inglewood Forum here in LA in '77. Like a complete and total idiot I said
ehh, I'll see 'em next year not knowing this would be their last US tour. To this day they hold the record for most sold out shows
at The Forum. 5 straight sold out shows there. Well not 5 straight, they played 3 shows, took a day off and did 2 more shows there
at The Forum still a record to this day though.
Funny one night at The Rainbow on Sunset Blvd and I was sitting at a booth with
a few friends and in comes Robert Plant walking towards and past my booth but as he got to my booth (had a small entourage with him)
my leg was partly sticking out a bit and Robert stepped on my foot quickly looked over at me and said oop sorry! I said no prob and he kept on
walking by. Dammit I should have kept that shoe lol. :wall:

Robert was called Pursey or was it Percy, anyways he got the nickname because he carried a purse and was a tight arse, as was Jimmy Plant.

John Martyn would do that all the time get pissed and his fans would leave or boo him.

Been there, you guys will probably get some rain by Fri-Sat so that will help out.

Hoping for something. Feel like its a combo of fog and smoke. Its apparently holding all pollution down lower to the ground, its so gray. Air cleaner running on high in whatever part of the house we are in is helping some. Really feel for the people who as stuck out. :-(
