Dave Meniketti 1st Solo Show

[@frankdicostanzo8429]

If you’re any kind of fan of Y&T, do yourself a favor and purchase On The Blue Side. You will not be disappointed.

[@adamchafetz2986]

Its one of the best blues/rock cds I've ever heard!

[@infidelzombie9382]

Decides to learn guitar at 16, releases first album at 18 in 74. Natural musical ability and a crap ton of soul to pull that off. Dave is the man!

[@slackblabbath8528]

Mind blown he could progress so fast. Amazingly gifted kid!!

[@BBaldwin]

Actually, he was 20, 21…but who’s counting?

[@Irockthere4]

Drove all the way from Burbank for this one. Drove back after the show. Well worth it and glad I took the trip.

[@douglaschristine8387]

Dave Meniketti was playing Winterland S.F when he was nineteen with Y and T and he was good then , now he's 66. Rock on Dave!

[@randysalles2292]

Yup I saw them with earthquake at Winterland!!

[@josephsliger3308]

He's bad to the bone. Pure soul.

[@kildacious9171]

Dave is the man!

[@colonelcatastrophe4821]

He is and he's not a conceited dick! Down to earth dude and sounds better than almost anyone in his day.

[@drumdude46]

How many years ago was this? and ....'why...is it called a 'Solo' Show? ( I can see, yes...obviously 'without' his Y&T co-horts...) but...Where is this...and what Year? 1990s? Looks older. he also has a bit of 'weight' on him...it would appear. thanks for the upload! he sounds great as always!

[@SeagullNips]

It’s called a solo show because it’s from his solo band Meniketti. Don’t know what year but the album came out in 98 so I’d assume their first show was in 98 as well.

[@SeagullNips]

Was this music in the park downtown San Jose?

[@SeagullNips]

Pretty sure it was. If so this was my first concert as a kid

[@SeagullNips]

Could be me at the 1 minute mark on the left haha

[@Chrissy2230]

Market St. San Jose, CA. 😎

[@alienbry]

San Jose jazz festival

[@douglaschristine8387]

Was this show in SF? I see the street sign S. Market, yeah. Love Dave Meniketti, the total package!

[@alienbry]

Show was in downtown San Jose for the blues festival

[@Chrissy2230]

Was this from the San Jose Jazz Festival? Rock on Dave. 🤘

[@bobwalden1514]

Why not household name? He’s up there with the best of them

[@hermannernst8876]

Gary Moore was not better (Blues). But Dave i better in Hardrock! The most underrated "all in all" musician in hardrock!

[@rubenmanueldiaz]

Gran guitarrista al igual que stevie Ray Vaugun and J Hendrix

[@alienbry]

Si mucho grande guitarrista Dave Meniketti a la Dio

[@mrabrasive51]

Great show but dial back the delay sound man!

[@alienbry]
