Friday Night Videos 80s

[Jorge Galvan]

A tribute to ordinary people—teachers, workers, doctors, travelers, and dreamers—blessing everyone equally and celebrating the dignity of everyday life.



Amen to that.

Cheating again, from 1978 off of David Gilmour's first solo album, "There's No Way Out of Here" what a great record and my fave of his catalog. This tune has been covered quite a lot notably by Monster Magnet!!!! He nails that echoey Peter Green sound and this tune just rules!!! He did this when Floyd were working on the WALL LP at the same time!! Brilliant!!!

I think that is Bassist RICK WILLS from Foreigner playing with him.


ENjoy!!

Never too early for Halloween.

Music for the Masses was the first CD I ever bought.

[Jorge Galvan]

When John Lennon began to work on DOUBLE FANTASY; his comeback lp, his producer: Jack Douglas, suggested the following people to work with him, Tony Levin on bass, Rick Nielson on Guitar & Bun E. Carlos on drums, both from Cheap Trick!! As Jack worked with Cheap Trick before he knew that Rick & Bun would deliver the goods! They worked on various demos and they all had a BLAST working with John and this demo of "I'm Losing You" remained unheard until Yoko put out John's Box set.


One of the best things about this, was John telling Rick, "I should have had YOU on 'COLD TURKEY'. Clapton Choked!!"


Those old Lennon demons are here. From 1979/80

This is Halloween

Oingo Boingo Halloween concerts were epic in Southern California during the 80's. Their best known Bass player, John Avila, is an instructor at the Music College where my Wife works.

We named our first cat Alison, after Alison Moyet. Love her beautiful, powerful voice. Now add the musical genius Vince Clarke, amazing in Depeche Mode and eventually Erasure

Not sure who in the band it is, but I saw Oingo Boingo at NAMM at a party given by VIGIER Guitars. ( I think 1997?????) Patrice Vigier; the main man, had given us all passes as our friend, Shawn Lane was an endorser and sadly he played LAST, after Boingo and a very INSUFFERABLE set by Stanley Jordan ( an HOUR & FORTY FIVE MINUTES!) AAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!

and finally Shawn Lane, Jonas Hellborg & Apt. Q258 (Jeff Sipe) played, BUT!



Everyone (Almost) Everyone walked out thinking the show was over, we were seated in the far back. Now we were up in the FIRST ROW! I taped the show and its somewhere in the fortress of Solitude, I heard in passing that George Lynch was at the back door, but didn't come in as he might have been blown away by Shawn!


A looooonnnnggg time ago.
