Though the video would lead you to think that David Byron sings lead vocal, it's actually Ken Hensley that sang lead on this one.
Yes. Wiki wiki had 3 or 4 songs that he co-wrote and sang lead on, and I liked that one the best.Though the video would lead you to think that David Byron sings lead vocal, it's actually Ken Hensley that sang lead on this one.

Aren't we all. I used to see them at the Rock Corporation in Van Nuys, before they made it big. Hated them because the girls were more interested in them, than me, or anyone else, for that matter. That was the first place I knew of that had "wet t-shirt contests." Oh, the memories.I remember seeing Van Halen open for Black Sabbath in 1978 at the Memorial Coliseum in Portland Oregon.
Damn I'm getting old.
RIP
Ah, you guys down in Cali were witness to a great local scene back then. We get a lot of concerts here in Portland but the music scene here never exploded like it did there or for that matter the way it did in the Seattle area during the Grunge years. We got bands performing from both North and South but Portland never really had anything like that rock scene you had or what happened up in the Seattle area years later. Portland did have a huge Jazz scene going on at one time but that has faded away.Aren't we all. I used to see them at the Rock Corporation in Van Nuys, before they made it big.

Yep. We were blessed with multiple free spirit FM radio stations that didn't have play lists and began to sponsor great acts, besides being in L.A. that drew a lot of talent. The Universal Amphitheater was my favorite, being in the San Fernando Valley, open air, only 5,000 people. All gone now.Ah, you guys down in Cali were witness to a great local scene back then.

Fortunately Musicians love coming to Portland and we give them sold out shows all the time so at least we get to see the bands live.
We had KGON. We used to call it Keg On. I stopped listening years ago. But back in the day they'd promote what was called "Catch a Rising Star" concerts. Lots of great talent that went on to make it big performed at those concerts.Yep.

There were a couple FM stations that would hold live in-studio concerts and promote recording of them. Get your cassette recorders ready, folks. KPPC was the best (Pasadena), then later KMET and KLOS (formerly KABC-FM).We had KGON. We used to call it Keg On. I stopped listening years ago.

For years Gulf 104 out of Tally played an LP every night at midnight. I just wish I had had a reel to reel instead of a cassette recorder and I could still be listening to them.There were a couple FM stations that would hold live in-studio concerts and promote recording of them.

Right! DJ's had the freedom to play a whole record and not just the hits. That didn't last very long. The golden age of FM was from 1968 to 1975, about. Then, you'd have your favorite station going all-news, or country. Reel to reel was a luxury I couldn't afford.For years Gulf 104 out of Tally played an LP every night at midnight.

Me either. BIL#2 had picked one up during his part of the East Asian conflict, and he had at least 1000 LP's on tape. I had a like amount after my Navy tour, but all on cassettes. Now all of which squeak.. . . . . . . . . . Reel to reel was a luxury I couldn't afford.
