Saw Whitey Morgan tonight at the Roxy on Sunset Strip. Had not been there since 1976 when my now wife and I saw Elvin Bishop.
Great show by Whitey, as always.

One of my all time favorite live songs. Been listening to it on the Duane Allman Anthology albums for 30 years!

Pretty sure I’ve shared this one. When I listen to 80’s classics this one comes up occasionally.
Reminds me of the original MTV early to mid 80’s.

Cool backstory and early, early VH demo. Man, hard to recognize a couple of the songs.


Van Halen Gene Simmons "Zero" Demos Recorded at Village Recorder Studios in Los Angeles & Electric Ladyland Studios in New York May 1976. Tracklist: 00:03 On Fire 03:39 Woman In Love 07:02 House Of Pain 10:25 Runnin' With the Devil 13:59 She's the Woman 16:50 Let's Get Rockin' 19:52 Big Trouble 23:24 Somebody Get Me a Doctor 26:26 Babe, Don't Leave Me Alone 29:19 Put Out the Lights

Notes: From Wikipedia: "According to a January 4, 1977, L.A. Times article entitled HOMEGROWN PUNK by Robert Hilburn, Rodney Bingenheimer saw Van Halen at the Gazzarri club in the summer of 1976, so he took Gene Simmons of Kiss to see Van Halen. Gene Simmons then produced a Van Halen demo tape with recording beginning at the Village Recorder studios in Los Angeles and finished with overdubs at the Electric Lady Studios in New York. Simmons wanted to change the band's name to "Daddy Longlegs", but the band stuck with Van Halen. Simmons then opted out of further involvement after he took the demo to Kiss management and was told that "they had no chance of making it" and that they wouldn't take them."
