Jeff Beck with The Yardbirds in 1966 and he's still smokin' that guitar today in ways he may never have imagined back then.
Maybe Aerosmith did the best cover it and Lotho and I saw them multiple times. I think one of those times was at the Albee (?) downtown which was later demolished but it was so live that night.
Tal Wilkenfield is one of the best bassists around and ... you will hear it. Fifty years on.
That train damn sure did keep a' rollin'.

I think the best Aerosmith visit was at the Xavier U fieldhouse
ReplyDeleteRush Styx and Aerosmith
It was Rush's first tour.
And yes Aerosmith did crush Train Kept a Rollin
I haven't forgotten that one as maybe the best we ever saw although there were so many. I've told so many times how it kept building through each set getting impossibly better with each one until Aerosmith blew the roof off the place.
ReplyDeleteThe young 'uns weep (larfs).
Aerosmith was the final act at the Nippert Stadium concert. Here are the groups that were there that day:
ReplyDeleteSunday, August 3, 1975
Aerosmith
Black Oak Arkansas
Blue Öyster Cult
Bobby Womack
Foghat
Mahogany Rush
Outlaws
REO Speedwagon
Status Quo
Styx
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
The Outlaws 'Green Grass and High Tides' got a lot of play back then even though it was like 16 minutes long (those were the WEBN Jelly Pudding days). I don't really remember much about the actual concert as my mind was distracted most of the day.
I do remember that one (sort of) as I was trippin' balls and couldn't quite figure it out what was happening until it came ... wow ... it's right now. Crazy times! Hell of a fine show, tho!
ReplyDeleteYour memory is astounding for the line-up!

ReplyDeleteI guess I have wrong year. They are not on the venue list. And it was the year Flirtin with Disaster came out which was 3 years later
"Flirtin' with Disaster" was Molly Hatchet and that was the first general admission concert after all those kids died at The Who concert and the same thing started happening up by the stage. I didn't completely panic but I did get the hell out of there as fast as I could.
ReplyDeleteMolly Hatchett was outdoors in 78
ReplyDeleteWho was 79 and It was ZZtop in Dayton a couple of days after Ron testified at City Hall
The one with Hatchett I recall was in the Coliseum but I have no idea for the year. Amazing you remember all these details!
ReplyDeleteI remember how it demolished him and I made the mistake of taking the one QUAALUDE in my life for that show so the impact didn't hit as much but I do remember we heard the news on the way back from the show since we knew something had happened but didn't know what it was.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I remember more intensely than anything else is the Astronomer's gf at the time was a tiny thing and the look in her eyes was almost pleading, please don't let me fall. There's no chance I will ever forget that part.
