John Redam "CARIBBEAN QUEEN" with Tourist

John Redam on guitar and lead vocal with his road band Tourist in McAlester, OK, December 1984, at The Skyline/Terrace. About 600 (over capacity) in the audience this night and almost every time they performed here. This tune was a huge radio hit and one of John's most requested tunes by Billy Ocean, "Caribbean Queen".

Tourist also did 2 shows - 2 dance sets in several larger show clubs in the Northern and Midwestern States. They also did a show with Mark Cash, Johnny Cash's nephew.

Dan Maxey on keys/vocals, Chuck Salter on keys/guitar/vocals, Jenks Smith on drums/vocals, Chip Anderson on bass/vocals who was replaced by Tim Mahoney, bassist extraordinaire. Chuck left the band a year after this video.

John used a 1979 Fender Strat (Custom Shop) through a 1980 Fender 75, numerous pedals with Talk Box, a Carvin LB70 Bass (Custom Shop), at this time.
