I saw these guys with this line-up in 1972. My very first concert. They opened for Bloodrock. They were jammin'.......and I remember how loud they were for that time.
I see on here questions about what ever happened to Tony Driggins, but really no comments. I remember Tony jamming his ass off and keeping the crowd entertained the entire show.

Wow, the breakdown at 2:35 predates Cat Scratch Fever (1977) ! Lol, Nug's been ripping off his fellow Detroit rockers, lol.

@Birdman24732 Your brother was an excellent bassist. I love watching him in this video! But why didn't he continue with Brownsville when they got really famous?

Hi I am Chris Driggins,the brother of the Bassist "Tony "Tone' Driggins.
I always think of him practicing with Mile Lutz, Cubby Coda and others in our basement in Michigan.

staple of pbs detroit in early 70s!5 songs in first broadcast "rock with the music" "wanted dead or alive" "mr robert" "jonahs here to stay(guitar replacing sax solo!) and long version of "country flavour" with cub koda rap very much like in the clip of "barefootin" from 2 years later.pbs later recut with 2 songs omitted as part of longer show also featuring don crawford and fanny.still one of the best half hour rock shows.WHERE ARE OTHER 3 SONGS!! cheers from t bone mankini



My favorite band and song of all time ! They were the best live act to ever play the original Cleveland Agora. Crowd would just go wild. Got in trouble for misbehaving in school and Dad would not let me go see them play the new album live over the radio from Agency Recording above the Agora. Taped the show in my room and played this song every day after school. At the free WIXY radio festival at Edgewater Park in Summer 1972 they blew away every act. Great to finally see this after 37 years !
