our amazing local band in the 60's and 70's-[western mass,] they were the house band at a great bar in the tobacco fields called' the rusty nail'.held about 300 people and they used to play there once or twice a month. also johnny winter , edgar winter,and hall and oates when they were at the top of their game.2 bucks to get in!! then it burnt down around '85-awesome spot.

@@thedocofrock1890 I grew up in Spfld. LOL Hung around at UMASS in the late '60s. I remember Fat, never saw NRBQ but loved their music - "Get That Gasoline" LMAO. Saw Led Zep in '69 at the old Capitol Theater in SP after they turned it into a rock concert venue. Boy, I sure miss those days. So nice to run into someone like you, yes - 50 odd years later. :))

@@trilbyoferal3705 zep at the capitol - damn ! i went there in '71 to see blues legend taj mahal with friends and the opening act was a guy nobody ever had heard of yet named BILLY JOEL ! he and his band blew the roof off of the place and we all left the show saying " this guy is gonna be big". and after his performance the toned down slow blues of taj just didn't cut it . he should have played first

@@thedocofrock1890 Mahal was good. I had a friend - Mickey - we called him Mickey the hippie hahahaha - dated Mahal's sister for a while. I saw Joel in the '60s, I think he opened for Meat Loaf or Hot Tuna. If I remember right he played piano and imitated other singers. But yeah, he was good. Some of those shows are fuzzy in my memory now. Some of them were fuzzy the following day too. LOL I saw Dr. John at the Iron Horse in Noho but that was much later - '70s or maybe the '80s.
