Dave Meniketti 1st Solo Show

[@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?

[@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!

[@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]

[@fordwheeler]

Big Man Dave

[@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.

[@montyderhak]

Dave with strats...weird without the old beater les paul....always enjoy his playing

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!

[@mrabrasive51]

Great show but dial back the delay sound man!

[@alienbry]

Dude it’s recorded on a hi8mm video camera before phones. I think I did alright
