Slamm at Gatsby's Cocoa Beach 1989 Covers

Slamm at Gatsby's in Cocoa Beach Florida 5/6/1989
Before there was the Blessid Union Of Souls (Now The ReUnion of Souls) there was Slamm. Slamm was originally formed by me Jeff Pence, Gregg Gammon and Calvin Williams just outside of Cincinnati, Ohio in Morrow, Ohio in 1988. The band went through many changes of lineup with over 30 different musicians playing in the band until 1990 when the band finally toured an entire year with the same 5 members and sound tech. In 1991 I Jeff Pence came off the road to focus on originals and recording. After an unsuccessful attempt to get the band signed to a major label, in the summer of 1992 there was a change of direction and by January 1993 the Band Blessid Union Of Souls was signed to EMI Records by Fred Davis, Pete Ganbarg and Debbie Southwood Smith
This video is proof of the growing pains one experiences playing covers to barely make enough money to survive. Lots of friendships were made and lost along the way.
"1988 to 1991 was at times the most awesome and at times the worst times of my life but all in all it was great times with great people and was 100% worth it" - Jeff Pence
This video is dedicated to Calvin Williams and Scott Griffith

I miss the days of cover and top-40 bands. DJs kind of took over that whole scene.
