Starz - Live in Louisville 1978

[@Jimfrommaine]

Starz were an amazing band. The radio stations of the 70's really screwed up by ignoring these guys. Attention Shoppers a d Colliseum Rock were absolute masterpieces

Was big into STARZ for their early career. Bought every album as soon as they were released. But they were never played on the radio in Colorado. I don't think they ever played here, either. I totally missed out on that era of their career when all the original members were still with us. Would love to see them now, but it is hard to plan a trip to New England or mid-West.

I was at this show! STARZ was a great 70's high energy rock band. Singer Michael Lee Smith had talent and charisma, but the original band lasted for four albums then called it quits.

I don’t know if their record company did a bad job of promoting them, but this band should have been absolutely huge!

[@mlbloverock]

Same management company as Kiss. Aucoin I believe. They were big up north (I was in Louisville when I saw them in 1978), but mostly unknown elsewhere.

[@cadeoadrian7556]

​​​yes their manager was Bill Aucoin,same manager as Kiss! They were opening act for many kiss shows in the USA back then!

[@radmaximus]

Yeah Bill Aucoin, and Casablanca Records. Bill was up to some shady stuff, and Casablanca didn't have the money to promote what they had as much as they should of!

Saw them when they opened for Bob Seger around this time. Killer show!!

An incredible band. Even over here in the UK I loved what they did after picking up some vinyl of some of their albums back in the day. Blind buy at the time but some great songs and this is an amazing live recording!

[@timmillan6701]

Saw them about this time. I think they opened for Ted, and maybe Aldo Nova?

It’s hard to tell that they were kinda a reincarnation or I guess turning into what they would be, of Looking Glass( Brandy, You’re a fine girl ). I so wish they had the proper management. Great band…. Love 💕 them! I still have 4 of their albums. 😊

Mahogany Rush. For your Love off of their 8th LP? They never released it as a single. Nugent crawled out of the wreckage after several :P's with the Amboy Dukes. I saw ted at his best...opening for Aerosmith in 75. Believe it or not Ted stood in 1 spot and played. Bob segar....same thing...trudged the boards for years. I can definitely see and hear how other bands took bits and pieces from their titles and vocals. They had a great rockin' pop groove throughout this. Live Wire...uh Motley. I love the title Do it With the Lights On. If she's a looker, for sure.
