Head East - Never Been Any Reason (Live)

A montage I made to the audio of "Never Been Any Reason" from the Live album. Features several pictures and also the only available footage of Head East in the 70s (at the moment) these images are very brief - also footage of John Schlitt from an early Petra show... just made this video for fun - as there is no classic Head East footage of a full show (or song) available. The Head East footage came from John Schlitt's appearance on the 700 Club last January. If you would like to see video footage of a full classic Head East concert in the future then please contact Wolfgangs Vault at http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/contact-us.aspx Tell them that us Head East fans want the footage of Head East live at Winterland in 1976 and 1977!! Maybe if enough of us write in they will see that there is enough interest for a release! Until then enjoy this video!

I was at the Winterland Show in 1976...they opened for J. Geil's Band. Funny thing was 5 years earlier they played my high school in central Indiana- Knightstown. There's a photo in our yearbook.

@perdidokey1 That's awesome!! I envy you indeed - unfortunately I wasn't even born yet! Any stories from the show or anything inparticular that stuck out about the Head East set? Would love to hear anything you have to share. Also, I encourage you to go to the Wolfgangs Vault website and drop them a note asking them to post the video footage of this show - I'm sure they'd love hearing from someone who was there! :)

Heard it this am on mark & brian had to hear it again .

@losteroni In 1991 while my dad played drums for Head East they were invited to perform "Never Been Any Reason" live on the air for either Mark or Brian's birthday party - NBAR was one of their all time favorite tunes, as well as "Thats the night that the lights went out in Georgia" which Vicki Lawrence was there to perform. I've often wondered if they recorded that show.. Would love to get a copy!

I used to be a dj in college (1977-1981), and played Head East constantly. I've said over the years that this song should rank among the greatest rock n roll songs of all time. In my humble opinion, this song defines CLASSIC.

One great group,

Considering that you don't have much to work with (what with no video), you did a great job of putting this tribute video together! This is my favorite Head East song, to be sure! I got to meet John when he was lead singer for Petra, ca. 1995-96. I'm glad he's not boozing anymore (sober 34 years myself).

Moon & Barb from the Red Lion say hi!!! great mix sure brings back many great times.

I got to see this band live in the Salt Palace in 79. They were first out on stage and were followed by Uriah Heep, then Rush. Awesome concert. I still play Flat As A Pancake every now and again. This is a classic song that will continue on.

Saw them in 78 when they were at the top of their game. They were right up there with REO, Journey, Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult, and Aerosmith, all bands that I saw that year. Great bands, great shows!

My very first concert of many: Head East @ Kaskaskia College about 1974.  Fun times!

[debannwin]

My God I partied with these guys back in the 70's in Charleston Illinois..... You know John didn't have to give up his career in order to worship God....he could've done both......Saw them a couple years ago (new version).....Not even close......They were with slink rand band (for those that go way back to the 70's.....Slink now sucks.....broke my heart I was in love with slink....lol

I saw them open for Dave Mason in the 70's and they played the first song and the crowd was stone quiet. they were good but after a few how are you Bostons they left. the guy next to me took out a beer and was about to peg it at the stage and I grabbed his arm and asked him what he was doing. He looked at me and said he could make it from there.

[SuperDachshund]

Wow! Fantastic!

I saw them in about 1990 when they opened up for Molly Hachet in Golden, CO at the Buffalo Rose. I went there to see MH with my brother (we got in for free because I gave the Molly Hachet roadies a tour of the Coors brewery--freakin' great job!) but I had to admit Head East were the better band. . .and I LOVE Molly Hachet!

Just listen to these guys! They're awesome!
