I know that Guy Gelso had a cancer issue in the late '90s, that might explain his absence here. Hopefully it wasn't, maybe he was just not feeling too hot that night.
Thats so cool. I used to go see Zebra and Twisted Sister at Speaks every wednesday and thursday I think in the summer of 79" that was a great time....
Come see Zebra at the St. Cletus Oyster Festival on Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 8 p.m. 3600 Claire Ave., Gretna, LA 70053. Admission is FREE!!! Come early and bring your appetite, as there will be a huge variety of South Louisiana's favorite foods, draft and bottled beer, wine, daiquiris, and more.
One of the most truly underrated bands in the world. Wonderful musicians, great live act. Great integrity for carrying on the way they did after they lost their contract.
Used to see these guys at a nightclub called "speaks" on Long Island. Them and twisted sister played almost every weekend. I loved them then...still kickin' ass.

Do you or anyone else here in youtube land have a close up home made video of Randy Jackson playing the song TIME [from the 3.V album] on his 12 string? Live he usually plays it before they do "Who's behind the Door". I am trying to learn it and I am unsure of a few parts (as the song is in a funky tuning [GGDGBD]). If you have such a video, please, please post it. Thanks a zillion in advance!
30 years later they still jam oooppps guess my age is showing lol! zebra still Rocks met them when they first hit LI at Madhatter Stonybrook back in 1977.
yep -- they are for sure from NOLA...Randy used to sneak me into Old Man Rivers on the westband back in the day. A truly GREAT BAND. Their Rush covers were amazing....
Yeah, Bobby's filled in for them quite a bit. I know Guy has some sort of health issue, not sure exactly what it is, but it seems to come and go. Bobby's done a bang up job in Guy's absence, so kudos to him. I miss the original lineup though - I was one of the early fans and used to see them in the Lafayette area: The Keg, Slick's, Signorelli's - good times back then.
I know because we used to go and see them Play at Proms and CYO's in the Late 70's and 80's and ten at all the Local Clubs in New Orleans - They got known by Playing Led-Zeppelin Great!
Moved away from New Orleans in search of a Record Deal! Fact !!
Guy lives in Houston these days I believe,he still does LA. shows,Bobbys' still up north so he does the fill in up there...BTW,they are originally from New orleans,came to L.I. afterwards..I'm glad they did!Hammerheads forever!
dood,the band is originally from NEW ORLEANS came to LI afterwards,playes the entire LIclub scene ,I was there for it all before 1st album came out,also saw them play nassau coliseum,many colleges and BROOKLYN
Sorry, they are from New Orleans. My best friend from high school lived across from the drummer Guy in Gretna La. Check out their website, they are originally from the big easy.
Bobby Rondinelli is usually the fill in drummer for Zebra when Guy Gelso can not attend. You may remember Bobby from Rainbow, Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath.
Speaks in Oceanside, NY was the place I saw them back in the late 70's, along with Rat Race Choir on another weeknight. Both bands awesome, gosh I miss those ol' days. Glad Randy, Guy and Felix are still together.
Hey I am from New Orleans and grew up a ZEBRA fan. Yes Guy was out for sometime he did have cancer and was much missed. I will say I saw them once back home without him during that time and they had a band opened for them with a girl drummer and she filled in. Never missed a lick, of course they didn't have a drum solo that night but how can anyone truly follow GUY.
Peachmon, awesome. Thanks for posting. As for Guy not being there, this was probably recorded when he was recovering from cancer. I saw Zebra about 20 times in New Jersey back in the 80's. I don't follow them much now, but my friends and I were huge Zebraheads back in the day. Every show was incredible.
Hi, I just want to correct the posting about Guy and cancer. This video was recorded in 2006 and Guy did not and still does not have cancer. The reference you are making to Guy's illness was quite some time back.
