Just HAD to share this with y'all. A friend of mine recently sent me some old live footage of my 80s big hair band. Man, we were lucky to have this. He videotaped two entire shows. Prior to this, the only live video we had was a few random TV appearances we did.
Anyway...the background on this clip. I didn't front the band very often---I was the keyboard and rhythm guitar player---but I came out a couple times a night to help relieve our front singer. And this is what it looked like. This was our "oldies" medley: Mony, Mony, Twist and Shout, and Wipeout.
This show we were playing a "3.2" club in Denver. We hadn't played it before and never played it again. I remember the gig pretty well for that reason. Not our usual crowd and I was a bit surly with them...lol.
We also didn't have a proper bass player. Our bassist played keyboard bass because he was the right guy for the job, but played the wrong instrument so we had him play bass on a keytar. (although that term hadn't been invented yet.) Sounds a bit weird now, but made sense back in the day. Oh well. This is from 1985, I believe...
But...ya GOTTA respect the hair! But fire away!
