this is all about the music, so I'm doing it here instead of "what are you watching"
welcome to this weeks edition of MOB's Mr. Classic... last bash of the summer...
so tonight I felt like some reggae, and was listening to a Cleveland oldie band called I-Tal...Crucial Reggae and RubADub..
here's some of them, at Kent (you know, THE Kent, at the Grogshop)
pay no attention to what I handed the lead, we never inhaled back then... not much..

http://youtu.be/9uSGWhAikSMhow about a little Captain Beefheart... anybody? Beuhler?
http://youtu.be/PD5r_fT7HS0Frampton was such a douche...wasted money on seeing this concert..
http://youtu.be/zNJzF20-U3EToto...oh nooooo... auntie Em...there's no place like home...
http://youtu.be/g50YoC6cFesMahogany Rush..one of the best... i only wish they had videod it in entirety...I did manage to cop a full digitized recording of this concert a couple years back, it's priceless... Bridge of Sighs..wow.
Frank walked up from behind us, sat down, and asked if he could "share" what we were partaking... a couple passes later, he said thanks' enjoy the show, walked over to the stairs to the stage, walked out to the mic.... and pointed and thanked us...
We didn't have a clue who he was at the time... go figger. The picture below is actually the "new" Agora, the original where all these shows I'm posting about burned down in 1986; it was small by comparison, it seemed as if it only had a capacity of about 250-300 patrons or so.
http://youtu.be/EoFfkRrPyRQhttp://youtu.be/XptaqcPixq8before we would go to the Agora, we all would setup our recorders (8 track and reel to reel), on timers, to begin and hopefully catch the whole thing... lots of times it worked, sometimes not...and because there were always times "surprise" artists would show up, you never knew what you were gonna get, before the tape ran out.
extremely rare..

http://youtu.be/f_7E6WJI5uMthe Agora was a relatively small venue, bar atmosphere, and held "coffebrak" concerts at 11 a.m., so we could ditch work to see coolstuff
The back wall was a complete recording studio, so everything played then was recorded, much in 32 track formats.. just wish video was as it is today, back then... drat
goodnight Cleveland...
