I saw them at the Joliet NG Armory. 1974, I think.
My dad was involved as the charity organization sponsor, so the promoter gave us 4 backstage passes.
DeYoung was a jerk. Rest of the guys were great!

I remember I was working two jobs when it came out. One of the jobs was as a cocktail waitress at a bar and we could drink while we worked - what can I say - it was the 80'! (It seems crazy to me now). I loved it when this song came on

We have 4 friends, and 3 guys at work who went to SIU! One I think went to Edwardsville though, not Carbondale.

My wife and I saw them again a few years ago and they are still great. Mr. Shaw threw me his guitar pick. Good times.

One thing I always liked about the band was the extreme tone the guitar players get from their amps, they sound "varactored" to me where the line voltage is raised from 120 volts to something under 140 and it gives an amp that extra hot sound.

Thx
