- Start date
I think there's a youtube video of " Lowdown " live from the Paramount ( ? ) in S.F. from 1976.
I'd link if I could. That bass line and Jeff Porcaro, never better.
Discovered by Jeff Baxter, very short lived success, but for five minutes, they had two hits on the top 100. From LA, "Sneaker"...
Three original members also were in "Classics IV". TREMENDOUS session band and studio band who were criminally underrated. As far as musicianship, ARS was THE best of the Southern rock bands and yes, I am including the Allman Brothers.
I don't discuss southern rock without these guys coming up either:
I was at that J.Geils concert at Rec Hall with the lovely future Mrs CF. Couldn't hear quite right for days, mostly due to Magic Dick and his amped up harmonica.
My favorite of the genre, because of the catchy pop song writing. Somewhat different from the bulk of the bands, stylistically.
A great Rec Hall concert in the late 70's and a great southern rock band.
No argument from me. Imaginary Lover, So Into You, Spooky....GREAT songs. Damn good musicianship on those tunes too.
Now that The Outlaws have been brought up - Glen and Roy:
Donate your time or $$ to legit local Alzheimer's organizations. Better yet - go see your friend's Mom or Dad and give him the day off.

A good band that had a rare thing for the day: A sense of humor
Pittsburgh guy and was in Wild Cherry on Play That Funky Music.
Pretty crazy that Boz Scaggs and Steve Miller were classmates in high school.
That is some damn great singing right there. He did every chop from the studio version right on the money live, and that song aint easy to sing, lots of high notes.
One of my all time favorites! Introducing by the Cos and check out the hideous teeth on singer DAVID Palmer. That dude needed serious orthodontics! I also love the crazy 70's shirts! And Skunk Baxter pre Doobie Brothers!
If you just ffw this to the 5:30 mark (it's a 12 minute video) you see just an onslaught of guitar that just goes on and on and on. I don't think Britain had ever seen anything like this before. This was the concert that the Stones were left exposed w/out Mick Taylor.

Another great great band and Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt to boot on background vox
A favorite from the early 80s .... played non stop at my house on West College Ave
I believe it's on one of the Duane anthology albums. It's truly a masterpiece. To me, Duane was God, not Clapton.
It was incredible how good he was. And even more amazing was how many albums he played on in such a short amount of time. Had he lived, he might have been recognized as the greatest American guitarist of his time. Should have been.
I met Setzer in the early 90's and it always amazed me how such a tiny little guy played that HUGE Gretsch guitar, haha.
