Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings. Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45. Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story |

Wouldn't it be cool if The Flame were the opening act for the BB on next year's world tour?

99.9% doubtful it would happen, but if it did that would be the cherry on the cake.

This is very exciting. Perhaps this is the first step in creating a buzz that will result in their (according to Steve Desper) superior 2nd '70s album finally being given the O.K. for release. Doubtful....  |

I found the Flame's Brother Records LP in a Louisiana junk shop for $1. It still had the quadrophonic insert.
It's an alright album. Better than Hold On Dear Brother and Leaving This Town, but not as good as We Got Love.

Blondie says the show will consist of an hour-plus set from him, Ricky and Steve Fataar -- with a local bass player rounding out the lineup.

Don't think Blondie will ever blow me away more than he did with this band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e0TswzKGq4&feature=related and I feel so f*cking lucky to have memories of them doing these late late sets at dives like Mdm. Wong's in both Santa Monica & Chinatown, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther_Wong and various other crazy music/alcohol/sex&drug dens in Venice & West L.A. that sadly are no more... Or maybe not - maybe that has something to do with why I'm still alive & kickin'! |

Here's a FANTASTIC performance from last year with Blondie on piano and Ron Blair of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers on bass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QzzLbAEyjo |

I agree Ed, that was quite a band! The recordings from the Woodstock Reunion Concert were really nice: http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/rick-danko-and-paul-butterfield/concerts/parr-meadows-september-07-1979.htmlLove to hear "Sail On Sailor" with that blusey intro, & harp coda. I got to see a similar lineup (no Butterfield, but with Richard Manuel on keys) about a year later at a free outdoor show in New Jersey. Took a lot of black & white photos of Danko & Blondie. I'll have to dig them up one day. |
