Twisted Sister - Live At North Stage Theater 1982 (FULL CONCERT)

[@bobmilin]

I sat right next to JJ French at a bar in 1977 and had no ideal who he was until he took the stage that was the first time I saw Twisted Sister.

[@ImaRockStarPR]

Did you converse with him?

I was a fan of sister since 85, still am, I never saw them live, but Jesus man I didn't realise they were this good live... Dee Snyder a big man with huge presence on stsge... Brilliant... My God over 40 years ago...

[@josefernandez2722]

I saw them like 40 times at Lamore in Bensonhurst Brooklyn. They used to play almost every Thursday Night. Awesome.

[@RetroRocketReview]

@@josefernandez2722 jealous ... i was poor and seen hardcore punk shows in Toronto, as they were cheap and usually all ages

[@leemercure2194]

Saw them in 84 opening for Iron Maiden. It was for the Stay Hungry tour so we didn't really expect much, we only really knew We're Not Gonna Take It and thought it was kind of cawk rock, We walked out fans after that night. They're live presence was electrifying and they put on an amazing show that absolutely blew us away. They gave Maiden a run for their money on that tour.

[@jimlutz6691]

I was there, asked to move from Dee's wife's reserved Seats center stage - Great Show, Great Band, Great Memories - Met many good people over those years at shows all over Long Island.

I was sitting with his wife, too. Was wild.

Been a #1 s.m.f. fan since 1980, I was 7 and this is what I wanted to be when I growed up, but I didn't....grow up ! My favorite and the greatest band to date!!! Rock on...

I was there with my friend Carlos, I saw the show, it was a good as any thing any one would ever hope to experience, as for Carlos, he was outside fighting strangers . . .👌 The golden era of Long Island Rock & Roll, Hammerheads, Lamour East, Mad Hatter in Quogue, and Speaks were my houses of LOUD !

2 years before stay hungry,(one of my all-time favorite albums) they had no idea what was coming at'em !!!!! 🤘🤘

[@Tommyr]

Seeing these guys in the clubs was an absolute BLAST in the late 70's/early 80's! The clubs were always PACKED to overflow. I remember seeing them when they did mostly cover tunes with their own mixed in. MANY great nights right up against the stage!

[@lylesommers1249]

AJ was one of the best drummers of that era, an absolute animal behind the kit.

[@Johnny_Vox]

AJ was like thunder! Just an incredible drummer.

[@joeyrose1245]

Why am I just now seeing this?!! This show is phenomenal! I mean I’m like 52 years old and I first got into these guys when I was 13 years old in the 80s. Listen! I’ve seen a lot of crappy concerts in the 80s. I saw Bon Jovi! I mean you can’t get more sold out that Bon Jovi. But I thought that was what I had to see because Bon Jovi was cool. That show sucked. I’m sure I passed on several opportunities to see Twisted Sister live. I think those goofy MTV videos killed their image. If we had KZbin in 1983 Twisted Sister would have been the #1 band in the world! A big thank you to whoever posted this video! Amazing !!!

Twisted sisters, great band of rock and roll

[@johnstarace8369]

I lived on Long Island and saw Twisted Sister play in a lot of the clubs on LI in their beginnings. I lived in Port Jefferson and saw them play at The Mad Hatter in Stony Brook many times. They were amazing in the clubs, their stage show was absolutely amazing, Dee always knew how to work a crowd, and God help you if you were up in front of the stage and didn’t move, cheer, dance and scream, Dee would single you out and do his best to embarrass you in front of everyone, lol. I saw these guys at the infamous 1979 Adventure Land concert on LI, Adventure Land was a small amusement park on the side of Route 110, when I say small it was just a tiny kiddie amusement park, they never expected 23,000 Twisted Sister fans to show up, especially since TS was an unsigned band, they had to shut down Route 110 because there were so many people there, what a show, me and my friends were right up front on the left hand side of the stage. I think this was pretty much the play list we saw, stage show was excellent, including their famous Death To Disco segment where they’d bust up a few Saturday Night Fever albums while everyone chanted Disco Sucks in the audience, what a great show. I read somewhere Dee asked the owners of Adventure Land if Sister could come back and do a 25th anniversary concert there, Adventure Land said, “No thank you, we’re still cleaning up from the last one”, lol. Great memories. Stay Cool 😎 and… \m/ Stay Metal \m/

[@Music-qt3ok]

I can't believe they had a pro-shot show from 1982 in the vaults and didn't release it for years.

[@twikirobot6897]

yeah....I would have killed to see this back then.

[@neilsquibsyounger1972]

If you watch the documentary they released you’ll see they spent a lot of their own money on the band trying to get that break. It wasn’t really for me at the time - but when you see how hard they worked for years they totally deserved their success. Given the comments on here - Maybe the studio albums just didn’t give an accurate feel of who TfS were !

[@fokiat]

this is what happens when a band has great chemistry. They stay together for 48 years rip pero

[@Gregbaltzer]

But they didn't stay together for 48 years. The band broke up in 1987, and the classic line up didn't reunite until 2003. Until that point the band members were barely speaking to each other and couldn't stand being in the same room together. Mark down right hated Dee.

but they did not remain together for all 48 years. the band dissolved in '87 and only returned as a band 16 years later, LOL! Dee was sort of living the good life with his publishing but he did hit hard times eventually. While the other bands members never did get those riches because Dee wrote the songs. So claiming the band remained together all those years is not exactly accurate. Just sayin'
