i saw these guys several times in the late '70s and early '80s. The first time was in the Asheville Civic Ctr when they opened for The Doobie Brothers in '78. When Nantucket finished with the crowd The Doobie Brothers were almost ashamed to come out on stage.
@danzilla1701 Before the club was called CRACKERS it was called THE HANGER. I saw several good bands there in the seventies and the eighties, like Ike and Tina Turner, and Dr. Hook. Some of the best times of my life.
TOMMY REDD! greetings from Von,Vickie and David from New Bern! and Sparky and Roxanne! keep rockin' these songs are pure southern rock goodness! God bless.
Now THIS is music! I used to have this album too and heard them play in a little tiny club in Rockingham NC...wish I could remember the name of it...I was WAY underage at the time, maybe 15. But this was 1980 and you could get away with that. THEY ROCKED then and still Rock. I make my 9 nine year old son listen to this stuff all the time....lol, just to make sure he isn't ruined...AWESOME!
@daisygirlnc ... given your references, it would seem you are about the same age as I. Isn't it a wonder that we managed to survive such a barbaric age when there wasn't much concern about how old one had to be to have a good time?
@Silaxian Tell me about it. I got "grandfathered in" so I could buy beer at 18, but there was a store in my town that would sell it to anyone and since I was the oldest, I had to go in. Even the concerts at Charlotte were up close and personal, not sanitized and distant as they are now. But survive we did and of course now I watch over my son like a hawk! I can't even get over the fact that they cuss now on non cable tv. Jesus I am getting old, LOL But this band will always rock 4 me.
Love their album covers, especially "long way to the top". It's on I-tunes and Wounded Bird has The CDs. These guys and Glass Moon--both from NC--should have been huge! Maybe they were in some ways!
They use to play often in a club called ICK'S in my hometown.Roanoke Rapids,N.C. They were always a sell out. Talking bout the 70's and early 80's. Who was the guy that always wore a long leather coat and would play the guitar with a spoon?
Saw Nantucket several times in Myrtle beach at the convention center they opened for The Rossington Collins Band (Lynyrd Skynyrd) in 1977 after the plane crash and 38 Special later. They were always the "Special Guest" and Rightfully so in these parts.
Saw them open for RCB with Henry Paul Band in Roanoke for RCB for the first RCB tour. They were terrific and saw them again in Blacksburg Va at VA Tech the following year. Unreal band.
Partied hearty with these guys when thet came down to LA,,Early 80"s
Ya"all know,Greg Spears??/Hyatt house,,Ha,ha,,That stupidpunk band that came out first "The Yachts"",Rode that party bus from Carlsbad to the Whisky,,Snort,Snort,Thanks for the memories...Frank
The first three studio albums were released on compact disc by re-issue label Wounded Bird Records in 2003 and 2004. Nantucket V was made available on CD through re-issue label Retrospect Records in 2007.
I played in a raleigh band in the 70's and we became good friends with tommy redd
and kenny soule, jammed with them at times, and eventually bought alot of they're lighting and sound equipment when they signed on with epic. MAN , those were the days! I really have some good memories there, seems like alot of smoke and mirrors, big production, marginal stuff being passed on as being rock these days.
i played in a band with the songwriter of this song[tommy redd] he is still rocking in the raleigh / durham area.nantucket forever!!!!! w. bazen/durham,n.c.
What a fun band they were! Saw them front row at the Omni in Atlanta, I think it was the summer of 1978 or 1979...opening up for Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow...with the irrepressible DIO...and REO Speedwagon...Gary Ritchrath at his finest...what a show!
you guys are awesome-sounds like a great southern rock band-like 38 special-molly hachett etc-we used to burn the grooves out on this album back in the days-would like to see you come to jax fl
I was in a band in the early 80's and we were playing The Whiskey River in Macon, GA for two weeks straight. Wednesday of the second week, the club manager told us to take a night off, that he had another band for the night. It was Nantucket. They came in a blew out the house. Awesome.
My 1st concert was Nantucket at Camp Lejeune, NC (I was 13). I snook backstage and got Larry Uzzels's autograph on the back of my admission ticket. I got a t -shirt and wore it during Phys Ed in high school. They were great.
Larry Uzel and Tommy Redd still play with a slightly different line up in the bar scene. Tommy was the song writing force in the band. He was awesome.
When Nantucket signed with RCA the old bass player and lead guitarist were cast aside for new people that were hoped to propel the band over the eetop. Alan the new guitarist left and went to Myrtle Beach where he still teaches guitar as far as I know. Pee Wee the original bass player started a 3 piece band called PKM which was named after the first letter in each persons name. Tommy Redd the rhythm guitar quit to drive a fork life for IBM in Raleigh.
I saw Nantucket with 38Special and Molly Hatchet at Kinston, N>C> in 1979 on the banks of the Neuse River, Molly Hatchet was the headliner and they were GREAT! BUT>>>>>>>> Nantucket absolutely STOLE the show! ROCK ON!
Ahh, 75-80. Maybe the best five years in live music.(imho) Some of the best rock bands ever toured then. As far as R.E.O., good god were those guys ever not on tour!
i met tommy and larry uzzel once when i was 10 or so at a barbecue for some friends of my parents.larry told me all about when they opened for kiss in 79 i think.he said gene and paul were pricks,but ace and peter loved to party and hang out of course.he said ace got pissed off when they threw his tv out the window and it hit the bushes instead of the pavement!excellent story,excellent song,excellent band.
Saw Nantucket at the Omni in 1978 or so...they opened for Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, who opened for REO Speedwagon. What a great, great show. Nantucket kicked...I will always remember their lyric "Two-Timin' Hymen"... The guitarist played with a spoon... Richie through his guitar into the audience directly above my head...everyone destroyed my front row chair trying to get a piece... Dio was excellent, of course. And Gary Ritchrath destroyed the Omni as well...met REO after the show...
Oh yeah! Nantucket rocked Fayetteville, NC when I was in the Army in the late 70's-early 80's. They were LEGENDARY. Good buddies, cool chicks, cold beer.. I love these guys.. Thanks for the memories.
lol, I had this record when I was a kid. My mom was a nurse at the public clinic in Greenville when these guys came in there for their vd tests and shots lol! Hard to beat 70's stoner rock!
they have a web site called band of desparate men Tommy plays with the "Boogie Children." I was the sound engineer when they recorded this.They still play on occasion and are based out of Raleigh
If any you Nantucker lovers out there have any contact with the band members, please have them contact me. I would love to have them autograph my CD's
They used to come to chowan at least once every couple of months Loved them . I think they were the best live band I have ever heard . Give me a woman supporting pretty legs
Ha, how bout a West Virginia boy that spent a couple of summers on the Grand Strand knowing them too. :-) I LOVE this album, used to rock it loud and long back in the day. I still have the original vinyl of it.
Wow. Brings back graduation memories of '78 and staying at Cherry Grove, SC. I saw them at a club called Crackers in Rockingham, NC around 1980. Larry Uzzell wore a t-shirt with "L Fuctor Factor" on the front and a 10 on the back. Good tune, good band, good times.
saw them at the sumter co. speedway sc. in the hot july sun 1981 one of the best concerts ever right up front with my girl on my back a bottle of jack in my hand even caught a pick that was thrown to us from the band by the way the girl on my back that day is still with me married 27 years i love you kim
I also grew up outside of Raleigh back in the 70"s in Cary NC, seems to me I saw "Nantucket" at the old "State" theater in downtown Raleigh(damn that's been a while) , but didn't they do a "cover" of IT"S a long way to topif you want to rock and roll? come on folks.. help this old 49 year old 70's burn-out with this .
OK...I had to get it out of my system. I just uploaded a Nantucket Guitar Cover of "Never Gonna Take Your Lies" and I have another one on the way. I always loved this band when I saw them live back in the 1970's and never forgot the great music they made! Check out the videos! -BC
these guys are so cool. I was hanging out with this band named castle and we got to hang out with these guys a couple of times in jacksonville nc. back in the early 80s chris i miss you tony
Sept 9 1978 - No opening act as Nantucket takes the stage at West Florence High School, Florence, SC. Ticket Cost $4.50
I'm there with a now late friend, who helps me free-hand a poorly rolled joint. Anyway some guy we passed to got caught with it and out the door he went. Still feel bad about that.
i saw these guys (along with Blackfoot and Molly Hatchet) in the summer of 1980 in a little field in a town called Stanhope, nc (15 miles west of Rocky mount, nc on hwy 97)
what a great F&%$#ng time those days were!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw these guys at least a couple of times in the late 1970's....probably around 1977 or 1978. I know I saw them once or twice at the old Charlotte Coliseum opening for Kiss...and musically speaking they blew Kiss off the map! I remember bottle rockets being fired in the Coliseum...clouds of a certain type of smoke...LOL, and a volume level that left my ears ringing for at least 3 days after the show. They were a great band and that was a fun time! -BC
Saw them outdoors at NCSU campus near the highrise dorms in 1981 one afternoon, funny as hell the singer kept shoving the microphone down his pants, humping and gyrating around!!
Forgot to mention, these guys really ROCKED at that show!! It was incredibly loud, they played like hell. It was hot out, there were girls in bikinis everywhere. Everyone cheered when they played Heartbreaker. Great memories!
I was at that show, too! The good all days when you bring in all the beer you wanted, rock your ass off to Nantucket and nobody gave you a hard time. Grew up listening to these guys and some of my best memories ;-) were made to Nantucket's music!
Far out, man! And over at UNC random bands would show up on the lawn at the dorms with a Stroh's truck with free beer from the 8 spigots on the sides of it and tons of plastic cups. Hell of an advertising scheme! Amazing times.
Oh man how many cold Old Milwaukees did we drink to this back in the late 70's listening to this.There used to be a place here in Winston-Salem we all cruised called Stratford Road.Back in the day when the police would make you pour your beer out on the ground and make you go home instead of arresting you,lol.Saw them pour a guys bag of herb out one Saturday night,the crazy fool was back up there Sunday picking his "grass" outta the gras,lmao.Invent the time machine please,I wanna go back!!!
This brings back so many good times, my friend Robin that had this album died 2 years ago at age 45 of cancer. Thanks for the memories!!! We listened to this EVERY morning before we went to school.
These guys were a local favorite in NC on the beach sceneback in the 70's and we were lucky enough to have them as one of the 2 bands that played for our prom:-). We were all happy to hear when Epic records picked them up then and these guys still rock now!
this band is fantastic. i love them. theyre overlooked.

Wow. Brings back graduation memories of '78 and staying at Cherry Grove, SC. I saw them at a club called Crackers in Rockingham, NC around 1980. Larry Uzzell wore a t-shirt with "L Fuctor Factor" on the front and a 10 on the back. Good tune, good band, good times.

Cracker Backer!
I can't tell you how many times I've been hammered in there.
On Wednesday nights you could get in free with a college ID and the draft was free.
We used to get 'falling down' drunk and not spend a dime. hilarious...

OK...I had to get it out of my system. I just uploaded a Nantucket Guitar Cover of "Never Gonna Take Your Lies" and I have another one on the way. I always loved this band when I saw them live back in the 1970's and never forgot the great music they made! Check out the videos! -BC

Sept 9 1978 - No opening act as Nantucket takes the stage at West Florence High School, Florence, SC. Ticket Cost $4.50
I'm there with a now late friend, who helps me free-hand a poorly rolled joint. Anyway some guy we passed to got caught with it and out the door he went. Still feel bad about that.

i saw these guys (along with Blackfoot and Molly Hatchet) in the summer of 1980 in a little field in a town called Stanhope, nc (15 miles west of Rocky mount, nc on hwy 97)
what a great F&%$#ng time those days were!!!!!!!!!!!
bigbigplay 3 years ago
I saw these guys at least a couple of times in the late 1970's....probably around 1977 or 1978. I know I saw them once or twice at the old Charlotte Coliseum opening for Kiss...and musically speaking they blew Kiss off the map! I remember bottle rockets being fired in the Coliseum...clouds of a certain type of smoke...LOL, and a volume level that left my ears ringing for at least 3 days after the show. They were a great band and that was a fun time! -BC

Saw them outdoors at NCSU campus near the highrise dorms in 1981 one afternoon, funny as hell the singer kept shoving the microphone down his pants, humping and gyrating around!!

Forgot to mention, these guys really ROCKED at that show!! It was incredibly loud, they played like hell. It was hot out, there were girls in bikinis everywhere. Everyone cheered when they played Heartbreaker. Great memories!

I was at that show, too! The good all days when you bring in all the beer you wanted, rock your ass off to Nantucket and nobody gave you a hard time. Grew up listening to these guys and some of my best memories ;-) were made to Nantucket's music!
Chriscjb63 3 years ago
Far out, man! And over at UNC random bands would show up on the lawn at the dorms with a Stroh's truck with free beer from the 8 spigots on the sides of it and tons of plastic cups. Hell of an advertising scheme! Amazing times.

Oh man how many cold Old Milwaukees did we drink to this back in the late 70's listening to this.There used to be a place here in Winston-Salem we all cruised called Stratford Road.Back in the day when the police would make you pour your beer out on the ground and make you go home instead of arresting you,lol.Saw them pour a guys bag of herb out one Saturday night,the crazy fool was back up there Sunday picking his "grass" outta the gras,lmao.Invent the time machine please,I wanna go back!!!

These guys were a local favorite in NC on the beach sceneback in the 70's and we were lucky enough to have them as one of the 2 bands that played for our prom:-). We were all happy to hear when Epic records picked them up then and these guys still rock now!
