In a feeble attempt to combat my constant homesickness, I compile tales of New York City rock & roll landmarks, most of 'em long gone. Moronic musings on various other enthusiasms are also thrown in for good measure.

When you're having more than one
I have no idea who these bands are, and neither does the uploader (if you recognize them, leave a comment on YT)...but in terms of capturing a true sense of time and place, this is some of the best footage of the Schaefer Music Festival that I've ever seen. Attendees of Schaefer (previously Rheingold, later Dr. Pepper) shows seemed to really find them a gas. The folks at NY Rocks and the Schaefer Fest fan page love to reminisce about being allowed to bring in coolers with their own food and beer, or of enjoying the sounds (and sometimes even the sights) from the rocks and trees surrounding the venue if they didn't have tickets. Thanks to benvalk and John C.
The first band is Pure Food & Drug Act w/Don "Sugarcane" Harris (of Don & Dewey/Mothers fame) and Harvey Mandel (Stones Black & Blue)....

ReplyDeleteIf that's
ReplyDeleteSugarcane Harris, he must have lived at the venue. My sole show there, July 1975, had a now-forgotten British R&B group called Kokomo opening for Return To Forever, and Harris strolled onstage to join Kokomo. My friend, a Zappa fan, recognized him.
Last group is Quicksilver with Dino the Ego Valentie and the always stoned out wonderful Gary Duncan. John Cipollina had already exited and was probably gigging with Copperhead by then.
