This band was great. I think they were not bigger as they were genre busting. The funk rock bands were great and put on great shows but I suspect radio play was sparse. Unlike Europe in the USA if you do not have a nice round band to fit in a nice round hole, or a square band to fit a square hole the record companies and radio stations do not know exactly what to do with you.
brings back memories, i was the disk jockey at pier 70 in seattle from 86 to 90 and got to meet him and his band, great bunch of guys, what impressed me about him was that no matter how long between gigs he always remembered my name. some great backstage partys too lol
I saw them with Bon Jovi way back, maybe 1990/91 at the NEC. They were amazing, bought their CD that night. I can't understand why they were never massive here.
I also saw them with BJ...they did the support-act during the Europe-shows in 1989. I´ve been blasted away by the power and energy and of course by the damn good songs. Dan has been jumping on stage as if there would be no tomorrow. I never forget that night in Cologne. Needless to say, that I had to get " SLAM ". They were so underrated...still love their timeless music !!!
saw him acoustic at nottingham last night. Was well dissapointed when there was no band but Dan overcame this with a top performance and a sweet guy too. Mega songs which makes you think why didnt they really make it????
Yeah I caught them with Bon Jovi and was blown away....was lucky enough to catch them a few times after in small clubs...shame they never were big here in the states but they were HUGE in europe and Australia
They were huge overseas, and Dan still plays. He said he would be back to Seattle Center next year with the band.
