Thanks to D.L.S. and MC Too Tall who was tending bar this evening for inviting us down.
Our night began in classic fashion as Thomas' car got "tapped" from behind while pulling up to drop off two amplifiers but the offender insisted on filing a police report as opposed to simply exchanging insurance numbers, so much for us being the opening act and we were postponed for well over an hour.
D.L.S. went on first in lieu of the legal activities proliferating outside.
Sylvester (Vocals), Brian (Guitar), Sal (Guitar), Rob (Guitar), Andy (Bass), Phil (Drums).
I was listening from outside but whenever a band performs "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (and many do) I always listen to the Guitar solo for the nuances and Rob nailed it.
From London, England. Steve White with Phil on Cajon and Brian Dillon on Guitar.
Joe taken from my viewpoint as we had no photographer.
Sylvester (D.L.S.) was kind enough to post some photos on "Facebook" as it happened. And happened it did, premiered tonight was the Levi Presley hit "Dont Be Cruel".
The New York Mets beat the Dodgers 3-2 during our set and much Ballyhoo ensued but Joe obliged with kind and knowing sarcasm thanking the crowd for all the applause. We were asked for an encore which was the B.B. King/Lucille Bogan standard "Sweet Little Angel".
Tommy Roberto ready to Rock after the automobile mishegash was cleared up.
"BOY !!!"
Looking more and more like Angus Scrimm, the "Tall Man" from the film Phantasm.
The Pocket Monster. Bop Monroe (Guitar and Vox), Brian (Bass), Eugene (Drums).
Eugene has a unique style of double traditional sticking of which I asked him about after their set, he also provided the Drums which was a tiny, short kit with a thin TAYE Bass Drum and it was a slight challenge to perform on but it was fine.
Eugene and I flanked by a photo bombing Bop Monroe.
Its Only Rock & Roll But I Like It.
Sidelines serves HUGE Pint glasses of Blue Moon or Budweiser but I can swear these are 20 ounces if not more.
Post Gig one a.m. Dinner at the Bridgeview Diner.
Joe and Thomas had Eggs Over Easy and Eggs Over Well.
I had the traditional Cheeseburger Deluxe.
We all had Gravy on the side.
My bandmates stole my large Onion Ring, The Bastards.
Actually I surrendered it wholeheartedly.
