Cool. Does John Doe play the clubs in LA now?

Oh come on, The Idiot is totally a glam rock album.




And Lust for Life had a couple glammy tracks:



And Lou Reed come on..

Good Glam discussion. Bowie for sure had his Glam phase. Others as mentioned also.

I'd consider Missing Persons more New Wave. It's all good though as many genres cross over and are just a name.

I loved Sweet and think of them as hard rock on some of their albums. They went through many different phases of their sound. This song rocks. There were ahead of their time on songs like this.
A good one to play loud.

Thanks variable...lol

Hating to admit to a pretty big love for The Sweet.  Huge back in the day, and really was music that guys and girls all seemed to dig, which was tough as most of us guys were into more rock and the gals loved The Carpenters, etc.   Hard though as the 70's had SO much great music, it makes today pale.  I know, old man, get off my lawn, but it's true

John Prine.

Winterland damned you for posting those Sweet songs. I had successfully forgotten all about "little Willie" and now I can't get the blitz song out of my head. Curses!

So could you say: Elvis, Sinatra and Bowie? Or is that just bc its still so close to the death?

It would be hard to think about growing up with cable as a new thing and MTV in those days without Bowie. I didnt use to listen to a full album like i did with my favourites, and even tho i liked alot of complicated music i never really got him fully, i think i was too young. but i also often got that feeling mentioned when he came on or was talked about - Here is a genuine artist, the real thing, "a star".

Im also very selective about what i like, for instance i dont care at all for rebel-rebel but I think Heroes is genius. I dont like dancing in the street but like this is not America.

The Eagles at the Met Stadium Bloomington MN Aug 1. 1978 Hotel California Tour was my first concert. I was just a young music fan. I loved and still love the Hotel California Album.
A couple pictures included I found from the concert.
I will never forget it. They broke the attendance record for the stadium and announced it over the PA. 65,000 people!
A huge storm came by with lightning lighting up the sky, bringing cheers from the crowd. It did start raining and from what I remember The Eagles stopped playing for a short bit but resumed and it cleared up beautifully.

There was a tarp of some type on the stadium grass to protect it and I remember people going under the tarp on the sides to get out of the rain. I always wondered if there were any babies made underneath. Haha!

Our tickets were on the lower deck seats next to the floor and I believe we were protected a little from the rain but I do remember someone with us getting puked on
People were openly smoking natures finest and drinking by all ages going on everywhere. It was like a huge party with a great set list of music.
Pablo Cruise and Steve Miller Band who were both huge at the time opened the concert.
I was hooked into music and live concerts forever. Thanks Glenn..

I couldn't find a set list for that night but this one was for a few days earlier. Should be close.
