yo paitecat i saw them open for a local band(ok the humboldt was so good i'm not sure who opened)called nasty habitz in salinas ca. and these were some of the few good examples of big hair rock!!!!
they were described as "Face melting" the energy power they sent out from the stage well you really "had to be there" and I WAS THERE! Leonard Haze holy s--t man how did you do that?????
You have to read this!! you won't believe it!!! don't stop now!! make a wish - - - - - - - . . . . . Now that you have your wish it will happen! in exclatly 4 days. just copy this and paste it to 4 videos!! only one wish use it wisely and it WILL HAPPEN!!! but if you break the chain your wish will be the opposite
This was REALLY cool! They will forever be labeled as the band that almost put San Jose CA on the "Musical Map" right beside SF. And I mean that in the best way! Dave is a WAY under-rated guitarist too. They kick-ass live too!!!
When they were just gettin' goin', they came down to my home town (Salinas) South of San Jose, and they opened for Sammy Hagar. All anyone could talk about at school that week was Y&T, and how much they kicked ass! I'm sorry kids of today, but our late 70's and 80's Metal and rock kick the bands of todays collective asses! 'Nuff said!
you are correct. i grew up in the bay area seen them so many times i can't remember exact number. they always did a great job live, so underatted rock band of the 80's. i also tell my sons the crap they like today doesn't even compare to the stuff i grew up on in the 70's early 80's rock ruled
Grreat band. Dave Meniketti kicks ass. Who else sings lead vocals and also plays lead guitar? They're still going strong too. Hope there's a way to clean up the video. Sound is good though.
what made them great was Meniketti's voice.......so much soul to it

Ahhhh....Meniketti and Y&T! One of the best and most underrated bands of the
80's. Would rank Dave up there with with Moore. Had a great bluesy sound and could rip it up with the best of them.

I saw them in 83' 84' 85' and 86'. HUGE Fan! Meniketti is just ridiculous. I saw them in 84' at a club in Boston called the Channel. Just crazy!
