One of my favorite Dion songs, and a rare live version at that. Streetheart, from the Copa, 3/29/77. This was the description by the original poster, from several years ago:
"Dion Copa 3/29/77
On a cold night in brooklyn, on march 29 of 1977, i travelled the long stretch of flatbush avenue. all the way to nr 2148, to the famous COPA lounge.(three blocks north of kings plaza !)
there , on the stage was the great Dion Dimucci,with a full band. and less than ten people in the club.But being the great guy that he is, Dion put on a full show, covering all phases of his career. at the end he remarked, there are so few of you, we can all go to my place in the back of my volkswagen, and have a party. this is to this day,one of the best gigs i have ever seen.
I want to dedicate this to the great DION on the occasion of his new album, and his 66th birthday ! "
Forgive the newspaper ad; it's the only period correct photo I had. And yes, that was a cash register at the beginning of the song :).
