Through This World The Plagues 1966

I must know some of you guys. Brian Amato, Everett, class of '65? Who are you guys?

One last thing, I am trying to figure out where the location is where they are running at the end of the video. It looks like maybe W. Kalamazoo or maybe W. Saginaw St. The Porter Realty signs are pretty cool since they are no longer in business. Anyone know?

Newhotman, I think the picture was taken out behind what was WILS radio. The building to the right, which has a couple on a motorbike in front of it, I believe, is Kewpes Hamburbers in its original location. I don't remember the name of the street.

The original WILS was on N. Washington just past Shiawassee and Kewpee's was on W. Shiawassee between N. Washington and N. Capitol. Remember Kewpee's had a dirt driveway and you could drive up and get the hamburgers that were the greatest. It was always crowded inside and I went there for lunch often when I went the Lansing Community College.

I had to stop the video and then I saw the Kewpee's sign. Thanks BHart for pointing that out. Lansing doesn't look anything like that in that location anymore.

I am surprised that there isn't another comment on this great song from the Plagues. I saw them several times while growing up in Lansing, MI where they were from. They were terrific performers that played in many Battle of the Bands and were one of many bands that were in Lansing at that time. Thanks for posting this song that brings back so many memories of growing up in a great time and a great city like Lansing.

They were one of the first "modern' rock bands in Lansing. The first to play British Invasion music. Most other bands were still playing Del Shannon or surf music. They actually started a riot when they played at Waverly Jr. High.

The Plagues were from Lansing, MI and the lead singer, Bill Malone, went to Everett High School. Van Decker and Jim Hosley went to Sexton but I can't remember where Phil Nobach went. I went to the concert at Everett High School in 1966 called the Quarantine Review. This record was released on Quarantine Records. They had a release called That Will Never Do as a follow up to this. They were at the summer Battle of the Bands at old Everett field, Colonial Village, Pro Bowl & Logan Center.

I think Phil Nobach went to Sexton too.

I checked on the release dates of the records. Their first record was That'll Never Do/Badlands, then came Through This World/Why Can't You Be True and then their final record "I've Been Through It Before/Clouds Send Down
