i saw zappa in '84 or '85 at fair park coloseum, or whatever it was/is called. also saw steppenwolf at a country bar called Belle Star off of 75 maybe '84 or so. there was a horse saddle that rotated hanging from the top of the dance floor. the waitresses were just plain freaking out because lets just say the crowd was not their regular clientele. i'll never forget seeing steppenwolf doing an extended version of 'magic carpet ride; with a horse saddle rotating above the dance floor.

and anybody ever go the the Bronco Bowl? saw U2 there before they were nothing back in hell i don't know maybe 83 or so. tix were maybe 10 bucks or so. also saw a triple bill of Johnny Winter, Greg Allman Band, and Edgar Winter there. and saw Stevie Ray Vaughn at so many venues... most notable at amon carter convention center i think. saw b.b. king at the Fast & Cool Club.

and who remembers the rock club on NWY... maybe the Ritz? remember seeing a band called Pantera when they were a spandex-wearing hair band before they went hard metal or whatever.

and seriously.. the Redneck Roper Review....??? i probably talked to you on the phone dude! that was back in the day before cd's. i'd put a cassette in the player and head out on the town. come back home and listen to the Super Redneck Roper Review i had taped and get some hot licks. i'll bet i still have some of those tapes around somewhere.

good times.

I definitely remember The Filling Station with the large old timey gas pumps out front. It was said to be a hangout of Bonnie and Clyde. Great for business.

I remember closing down the Texas Tea House a few times. Damn that place was a shack. There was a dude who played Grateful Dead songs and his closer was Casey Jones...
"Driving that train. High on cocaine. Casey Jones you better watch your speed."

I use to work nights durning the summer while I was in college, and we would listen to Bill Mack, the Midnight Cowboy, on WBAP. I know he was in Ft. Worth, but since I was working in Dallas, it counts for Dallas nostalgia. Supposedly he wrote the song "Blue" for Patsy Cline and forty years later it became a hit for Leanne Rimes.

I forget the name of the theatre at Harry Hines and Northwest Highway( the Circle?) where my date and I went to disco night New Years Eve 1974. Never mix champagne, Hurricanes, and disco. I still don't know how I made it home alive.

How about the original 97.1 the Eagle with the Moose morning show and Kid Kraddick at night. The Q102 Album Rock stickers on your bumper and every summer the Texas Jam at the Cotton Bowl. Sa-weet!

heard about it, but wasn't there. but i was at Trees when a local guy named Scott Turner von Blarcum, or something like that, punched out Kurt Cobain (back when Nirvana wasn't shit) because he thought ol' Kurt was abusing his amplifiers. blarcum fronted a band called Ethel Merman until the Ethel Merman estate threatened to sue, so they changed their name to Pumpin' Ethel'.

Drez, I don't remember the rain, but then again, I may have been impaired...

I grew up in Garland too, remember the old White Water park on NW Hwy and 635, before it became Wet & Wild. Fun times...

i got mugged/held up or whatever after the Texas Jam with Deep Purple and others (Cotton Bowl '85 or '86'?). and i have to say... possibly the nicest muggers you could ask for. we chatted for over a half hour or so before my buddy 'mad man mosley' finally made it back to the car. so madman gets back finally, as we had gotten separated somewhere inside, and my new buddies told me, in no uncertain terms, that they had been watching our car for the duration of the Texas Jam and boy howdy they would surely appreciate 20 bucks or so for doing so. and it was clear that the 20 dollar donation wasn't negotiable. i had no money on me, but when my buddy showed up i told him we needed 20 bucks to get the hell out of there. and home we went safe and sound.

good times.

Some old memories for sure. KZEW was the first one I thought about. And I have some really bad memories from The Filling Station that involved a blue eyed, black haired girl from SMU and an blue drink that was on fire. Damn I don't think I'd ever been that drunk before or have been that drunk since. Still remember the girl's name, somehow.

I did dearly love Frank X. Tolbert's on a cold night. Sitting up front at the table under the moose's head that was wearing the Shiner gimme cap.

Popsicle Toes and Strictly Taboo were the places for Jazz.

Now for some new ones (I think):

Whiskey River on Greenville Ave. -- Delber McClinton for a $3 cover on Monday nights.
Cardinal Puff's on Greenville -- great outdoor beer garden
Bowley & Wilson club. What a fuckin' riot.
The 8.0 Bar -- very different from the afore mentioned places, but a blast.
Speaking of gay clubs, The Old Plantation??

Speaking of the Sportatorium, I also remember concerts there. They'd take the ropes off the wrestling ring and have the band play in the ring. I remember Willie Nelson playing there.

Speaking of music, Mother Blues on Lemon??!! There was one other rock club from that era, but I can't remember it's name. Maybe someone else can.

Buddy magazine?

Buggs Henderson -- still around and still rockin', I might add.

I also remember a disco in the Old Town shopping center that was pretty big, but damned if I can recall the name.

A bar on McKinney, north of Knox called Chelsea Corner. Great little fireplace and usually a guitarist on stage doing James Taylor covers. Good drinks, too.

Happy hour and Humperdinks -- not my favorite, but many made the scene there. Eat appetizers for dinner, etc.

Mario's Mexican Restaurant in Old Town next the the driving range.

Lots of memories.
