This is a f---ing blast from the past because Im from northeast KCMO but never knew them as kid growin up - they were from what we called the east side - but i sure did buy the records from tigers records on the ave in the early 80s. partyed many nights jammin on this music 4 sure. Keep rockin guys...
WHAT A FIND!!! THANKS 4 POSTING!!! Used to love cranking 'Hang On For Your Life' while cruising to the Jersey Shore with the top down in my '72 Caddy Eldorado!!! I still think 'Flesh and Blood' and 'Hollywood' are 2 of the most incredible songs ever... absolutely MASTERFUL!!! Too bad they don't make music like this anymore...
Saw these guy's at the Rib-Fest in louisville,Ky. They put on one hell of a show, Opend up for Kansas, the show was free and the Ribs were unbelivable, it was a picture perfect night for an outside gig.
Looks like this is Keith Mitchell. From what I can tell on their MySpace website this singer was after Gary West and current singer Ronnie Platt. Still, there are some vocal similarities between West and Mitchell, and any singer that can cover SS and keep this band performing is talented. Very tough songs, musically and vocally.
What a great night this was. The kid that plays on the solo with Van is my neighbor and this was the thrill of a lifetime for him, he is a huge fan, Van is sooo cool to pick him out of the crowd. (of course my son was right next to him and he could of picked him :) )
"These guy's were bad ass!!!"
