Barry Richards on Groove In. This section includes a performance by Cliff Nobles & co as well as an interview with Cliff. WTTG Channel 5 in Washington, DC 1968
I saw concert at the Capital Center in 1974 with J Geils opening for Mountain. It was a raucous crowd and no one was in their seats as everyone waspressing towards the stage. Barry Richards came out on stage and attempted to calm the crowd by asking us to sep back from the stage or Mountain wouldn't come out. Someone threw an empty liquor bottle, a fifth I think, and hit him in the chest. He almost fell to the stage as he ran away. Mountain came out very shortly.
That "drive-by" clip where BR pulls up to the curb in a motorcycle sidecar was shot at the old Hot Shoppes Restaurant on Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring.
Look closely at the beginning of the clip and you'll see the old National Institute of Dry Cleaning building (8021 Georgia Avenue) at the corner of East-West Hwy. At the end of the clip, as BR is pulling away, you'll see Wilson Pontiac across the street.
You can't see it, but the old Heidi (Sheridan) Bakery is roughly across the street.
Hey, don't think to look at my YT Inbox but happened on it today & saw your link to this - thanks, it's great - & yeah, it's way before my D.C. time. Fabulous!
Wow! Cliff Nobles sure was light on his feet. What a dancer & performer. You haven't seen or heard anything until you've heard him sing. He's GREAT! I'd like to see anyone try and do the horse like that, it just won't happen. He's 1 of a kind and in so many ways. He'll be missed but please believe that he's still doing the horse & just as good w/ probably even more flavor. The horse indeed lives on! Cliff you're the greatest...the greatest dancer, the singer and by far the best father. xoxoxo
Continuing.....once my friend announced on the air that he doubted that one person was listening. He challenged anyone to call to prove his point. No one called. Not one single person.
I spent many hours in the "control room" at WHMC. A friend of mine was a weekend DJ there and just about anyone was allowed to come in as long as you knew him. The things that happened there were unbelievable. I was allowed to read the news off of teletype machine and picked which item I would read and which I could throw in the trash. In its last days as a rock and roll station the place was out of control and sometimes we played the same record ten times in a row.
Susan on the teen panel is (was) HOTT!!
