Speaker 2: tells you about the inside world of well. A series
Speaker 2: has to go through a to get on the air
Speaker 2: and b stay on the air. So that'll be tomorrow tonight.
Speaker 2: What was the last great concert you attended? It could
Speaker 2: be uh, I almost sad village people meaning to say
Speaker 2: grateful dead, So there, I did say it that way.
Speaker 2: Or you went to Branson, you went to Vegas and
Speaker 2: you saw a great concert. This gentleman I've had all
Speaker 2: before talking about wrestling, But he called me three or
Speaker 2: four weeks ago and said, talk one day about your
Speaker 2: favorite concert that you attended, And I said, fine, we'll
Speaker 2: do it. So Vinnie, Carolyn, what was your favorite concert?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: Hello, sir, Happy holidays. How are you.
Speaker 2: I'm fine, Happy holidays, doing yours, but.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm still trying to process that Bam Bam
Speaker 3: from the Flintstones was adopted three hours ago, so you've
Speaker 3: had quite the show tonight following up with this.
Speaker 2: So that woman thought Betty and woman were pregnant at
Speaker 2: the same time Betty could Betty could not get pregnant.
Speaker 2: I don't know the reasons why it was in the
Speaker 2: Stone Age, but yeah, she and Barney adopted. Bam Bam
Speaker 2: is adopted. So for those who didn't know that, I
Speaker 2: hope I'm not bursting your bubble right all right?
Speaker 3: So I'm going to give you my mount Rushmore of
Speaker 3: concerts I've attended, but I'm going to do that later
Speaker 3: in this segment. What I'm going to do right now
Speaker 3: is give you a mount Rushmore of most famous concert events.
Speaker 3: A lot of folks may not have gone to these,
Speaker 3: and you could give me yours, and then later on
Speaker 3: we can exchange what our personal you know, concerts we attended,
Speaker 3: what our Mount rushmorees are.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: So on my list, I've got the Beatles being on
Speaker 3: the mount Rushmore, whether it be the rooftops concert in
Speaker 3: London in nineteen sixty nine or shave Stadium, either one.
Speaker 2: I would throw that you're too young to of a.
Speaker 3: No, no, this will just be famous concert events. But
Speaker 3: we'll do my personal list that I attended later on.
Speaker 3: So you got the Beatles Rooftop concert or Shavee Stadium,
Speaker 3: it's got to be on that. You got to think
Speaker 3: about Woodstock from nineteen sixty nine. That's got to be
Speaker 3: on a mount Rushmore list of famous concert events. Anything
Speaker 3: for Michael Jackson. He was, you know, so influential with
Speaker 3: the advent of MTV and the Thriller video. Most people
Speaker 3: would talk about the nineteen ninety two concert in Romania
Speaker 3: that was on HBO because it was the biggest ratings
Speaker 3: drop for HBO in its history. But he's had so
Speaker 3: many tours between the Victory Tour with his brothers in
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four or the Dangerous tour of that tour.
Speaker 3: I would put him on there and probably number four.
Speaker 3: I know a lot of folks would either go with
Speaker 3: Live Aid or led Zeppelin Reunion or something along those mines.
Speaker 3: I would go because of how successful the movie is
Speaker 3: and how successful this concert tour is. The errors tour
Speaker 3: with your favorite performer, Taylor Swift. That would be on
Speaker 3: my ruckmore.
Speaker 2: My walls in the house are covered with Taylor Swift posters.
Speaker 3: How you're a Swift anymore? Agan, Nancy, you're a swiftly?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay? Indeed, and then and.
Speaker 2: Then and then I woke up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what you know better than me? You're you're
Speaker 3: a little bit older than me. Forget about we'll talk
Speaker 3: about events that you've gone to. What is your mount
Speaker 3: run more in terms of famous concert events that you
Speaker 3: can think of?
Speaker 2: All right, not out of my own personal experience, just
Speaker 2: across the board, appreciation for the skills that we saw
Speaker 2: demonstrated on stage. Okay, well, I would have to say
Speaker 2: number one through four should include I have to say it,
Speaker 2: Diana Ross. She had the longevity to go sixties, seventies, eighties,
Speaker 2: and nineties, and she's gotta be up there. I will
Speaker 2: agree with you. With the Beatles, I will also say,
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, I'm going to go off the charts
Speaker 2: and go with someone who had a strong career, necessarily
Speaker 2: not mainstream. Bette Midler.
Speaker 3: Really I think she did.
Speaker 2: She did. The key is to be interesting with a
Speaker 2: span of decades. He gotta have decades in your back pocket,
Speaker 2: and I hate to do it to you.
Speaker 3: Frank Sinatra, did you ever see Sinatra?
Speaker 2: Yes? I saw Sinatra at the Desert End in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: He died within that year, and he put on a
Speaker 2: heck of his show. Excuse me. I saw all of
Speaker 2: the rap pack. I saw Sammy Davis Junior coupled with
Speaker 2: Jerry Lewis. I saw Dean Martin on his own and
Speaker 2: again I saw Frank Sinatra on his own right. So
Speaker 2: you couldn't go wrong seeing them in the seventies or eighties.
Speaker 2: By the nineties the shine had worn off of the chrome. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's quite the murderer's row there. I'll tell you
Speaker 3: the Beatles, Ben Midler, Sinatra and Diana Russ. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's pretty good. And of course we can't forget the time,
Speaker 3: speaking of Vegas, when the Jackson Vibe pulled you up
Speaker 3: on stage and danced the night away.
Speaker 2: Morgan, right, that is a true story. There are people
Speaker 2: who may doubt it, but tell you what, I'm at
Speaker 2: the point of the hour where I take a break
Speaker 2: at a quarter past the hour. I'll tell that story
Speaker 2: when I come back, and we will take your calls
Speaker 2: as well. Florence is already on hold, so if you
Speaker 2: want to call in six one, seven, two, five, four
Speaker 2: ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two nine ten thirty,

Speaker 4: I mean, Sunita's back. I've seen Wayne Newton the.
Speaker 2: Boss and on three occasions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, joining cash in brangda Lee.
Speaker 2: Okay, those are the things to drop.
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, absolutely, very very strong. And I also would
Speaker 4: see the Oakwards boys. I liked them, would want to
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, all very popular, popular, you know, yeah performance.
Speaker 4: Yeah so, but the Righteous Brothers you had been waiting
Speaker 4: to see them. I seen them at the Club Casino
Speaker 4: at Hampton Beach, yes, yep, and just fabulous.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw him two years ago. Well I saw
Speaker 2: him about literally thirty to forty years ago, and I
Speaker 2: saw him two years ago and it was just as
Speaker 2: powerful each time.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he holds his audience well all his ears,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my Newton, mister Donkushin is that him?
Speaker 2: That's it?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and many many other songs hits that he.
Speaker 2: Read, Red Roses for a Blue.
Speaker 4: Lady, Yeah, and his yeah special song Daddy that he
Speaker 4: sang beautiful, beautiful, right. Yeah. He was quite the performer
Speaker 4: still is. I imagine it still is.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And the fact that he's eighty something years old and
Speaker 2: is able to perform at that level is good, gosh captivating.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And two performances that I loved that I didn't
Speaker 4: get to see. I wish I did Number one Neil
Speaker 4: Diamond and the other one was Sammy Davis.
Speaker 2: Oh, I saw Sammy. I think I mentioned before the break.
Speaker 2: I saw Sammy Davis on the same bill with Jerry Lewis,
Speaker 2: if you can believe it, and he captivated the room.
Speaker 2: It was silent, you could drop a pen and hear
Speaker 2: it hit when he did Miss Jangles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got an album of his, Morgan, I got
Speaker 4: a mention to you. A few years back, they did
Speaker 4: a special on TV. It was a I believe a
Speaker 4: birthday celebration for him of Sammy. Okay, this you know,
Speaker 4: and back then I videotaped it. It's on a VHS.
Speaker 4: Okay video taped the whole show, Okay, and it was wonderful.
Speaker 4: And that was the last time that I actually had
Speaker 4: seen him perform. But it was a live show on TV.
Speaker 4: I was wondering if you had seen it. Do you
Speaker 4: recall it?
Speaker 2: Yes, I do it. And he did a movie I
Speaker 2: think his last movie was with Gregory Hines called Tap Tap.
Speaker 2: He was an aging tap dancer and he again he
Speaker 2: did all of his own quote unquote stunts done at
Speaker 2: whatever age he was, and I'm guessing it was by
Speaker 2: then mid eighties. He could still captivate an audience.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah. Do you have a tape of
Speaker 4: that show that celebration?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: I do not, You don't, can you do you have
Speaker 4: a DVD and a VHS player that you could play
Speaker 4: it and watch it?
Speaker 2: Well? I have a DVD player. But you want to
Speaker 2: know what. I appreciate the off for Florence, but you
Speaker 2: keep it.
Speaker 4: Oh, Katy, Well, I'm giving up a lot of albums
Speaker 4: and cassettes and special sets that I have. I've got
Speaker 4: a set of old TV shows, three hundred episodes of
Speaker 4: old TV shows.
Speaker 2: I've got a lot of that stuff, Lawrence, And yeah,
Speaker 2: I appreciate the offer, but I've got too.
Speaker 4: Much of it already. If you'd like to Sanny one,
Speaker 4: you know, I would send it to the stud and
Speaker 4: they would get it to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they would, But that's okay. You hold on to it.
Speaker 4: All right, Okay, I got to let you go.
Speaker 2: Thank you, bye back and good night, Happy Thanksgiving. You
Speaker 2: want to talk about your favorite concert performance performance, we
Speaker 2: can do my Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 3: Speaking of Johnny Cash, by the way, I would be
Speaker 3: remiss if I didn't mention the Falshom Prison Blue concert
Speaker 3: he did back in nineteen sixty eight. That should. You
Speaker 3: can find it on YouTube, I'm sure.
Speaker 2: Six seven thirty eight, eight nine to nineteen thirty and
Speaker 2: I have just enough time to tell this story. And
Speaker 2: I'm sorry if you've heard it before. Let me just
Speaker 2: tell it and get it out the way. Nineteen seventy five,
Speaker 2: I go to Vegas with my best friend Warren, and
Speaker 2: he heard me tell this story on the air within
Speaker 2: the past year. I don't know if he's listening now.
Speaker 2: But we go to Vegas, arrive on a Thursday Thursday night.
Speaker 2: We were staying at the Holiday Inn, and we go
Speaker 2: down the road a piece to the m Jim Grand
Speaker 2: where the Jackson five were performing. Pay Our Money, Get in,
Speaker 2: get seated, you know, towards the back. By then all
Speaker 2: the ringside seats have been taken and the other seats
Speaker 2: as well. We're watching it's a two hour plus show.
Speaker 2: Had a great time. Yeah, they did all the old songs,
Speaker 2: and there was a bit with Janet and Randy, who
Speaker 2: was still preteen at that time. They did a sunny
Speaker 2: and chair routine that was on the mark. So now
Speaker 2: it comes down to the finale, which was Dancing Machine,
Speaker 2: the song they had currently at that time on the radio.
Speaker 2: I noticed immediately that a certain part of the song
Speaker 2: towards the end, they were pulling people up that was
Speaker 2: sitting ringside. And I turned my friend more and I said,
Speaker 2: we're coming back on Sunday and we're going to get
Speaker 2: ringside so we can get up on stage. I made
Speaker 2: it happen. If you tip the Matred's obviously that goes
Speaker 2: a long way. I forget what I tipped a twenty
Speaker 2: fifty bucks, what have you. They set us ringside, and
Speaker 2: when it came time for the finale, Marlin Marlon Jackson
Speaker 2: pulled us up. So we're on the stage along with
Speaker 2: about another twenty people dancing on stage two Dancing Machine
Speaker 2: with the Jackson Five. As the curtain is coming down,
Speaker 2: everybody now is looking for Michael. Michael did a Lance
Speaker 2: Burton disappear act like you've never seen. He was nowhere,
Speaker 2: nowhere to be found, and the other brothers shook hands
Speaker 2: and maybe signed a few autographs and apologize that Michael
Speaker 2: is just people shy and that's how he always handles
Speaker 2: their finales, which was great. I interviewed the Jacksons about
Speaker 2: four or five years ago. Marlin remembered the show, remembered
Speaker 2: the bit about bringing people up, remembered that Michael always
Speaker 2: just disappeared. He knew behind stage, he knew how to
Speaker 2: get to wherever they needed to get to get back
Speaker 2: up to their rooms. So we laughed about that, and
Speaker 2: I went to go see the show. It was at
Speaker 2: north Shore Music Theater, and the remaining members of the
Speaker 2: Jackson five put a hell of a show on. No Michael,
Speaker 2: no Dremaine, but the other four were there. They had
Speaker 2: a great band. It was a great show. So if
Speaker 2: you want to call in you sitting at home, half
Speaker 2: hour of time left, Vinny and I can kip it
Speaker 2: about our favorite shows beyond where we have gone, or
Speaker 2: take your calls, which I much rather do. So give
Speaker 2: a call six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty
Speaker 2: or eight eight, eight, nine, two, nine ten thirty. This
Speaker 2: is night Side. Dan Ray is off for the rest
Speaker 2: of the week. I'm doing the best I can to
Speaker 2: keep the microphone warm for him. And on this note,
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna throw it to Rob and Dan
Speaker 2: producing Nightside time and temperature eleven twenty nine forty one degrees.
Speaker 1: It's Nightside with Dan Ray on wb Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: Vinnie, Carolyn and I are taking this to midnight the
Speaker 2: subject of your favorite concert you've ever witnessed. We've done
Speaker 2: all styles of music. We've had names like Johnny Cash,
Speaker 2: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior, the Beatles. Trust me, no
Speaker 2: matter what era, your memory trails back to that memory.
Speaker 2: It works for us here. I'm busy. Let's go to
Speaker 2: Mansfield and speak to Steve in Mansfield. Good evening, Steve, Hi,
Speaker 2: how are you doing about him? All right? Good? Out
Speaker 2: here you go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can hear me.
Speaker 2: I can hear you. Love and clean now go ahead.
Speaker 3: Very good. So but yes, my very first concept, by
Speaker 3: the way, was the Jackson five back in like nineteen
Speaker 3: sixty nine in the Boston Garden. But it was a
Speaker 3: concert that never finished because people couldn't act right and
Speaker 3: they kept on trying to jump on the stage.
Speaker 2: Yes, I remember that, and it carried over. They stayed
Speaker 2: at the Copperley Plaza, and a lot of people because
Speaker 2: you're not supposed to know where celebrities are staying. Boston
Speaker 2: has about a dozen great hotels for celebrities, and you
Speaker 2: weren't supposed to know. But somehow the word got out,
Speaker 2: and somehow everyday Citizens Joe and Jane's Citizens went to
Speaker 2: the Copley Plaza, went to the correct floor that they
Speaker 2: were on and acted a fool best way to say it.
Speaker 3: Okay, But the show that I would really highlight, actually
Speaker 3: I saw it in the past year. I saw it
Speaker 3: in January this year, and that was out in Las Vegas,
Speaker 3: where you go often. And I saw you two in
Speaker 3: this yere.
Speaker 2: Oh, that must have been great.
Speaker 3: How is the auditorium theer for concerts? I'm curious about
Speaker 3: that place. It's fantastic. The sound is fantastic, and then
Speaker 3: the visual aspect that you're going to get also. I mean,
Speaker 3: obviously you've been to like the omni theater at the
Speaker 3: Museum of Science or something like that. Yeah, Now this
Speaker 3: is an omni theater for fifteen thousand people. Wow. And
Speaker 3: and I was in the first row. I got a
Speaker 3: seat in the first row and it was. It was
Speaker 3: an amazing experience. You didn't know whether the focus on
Speaker 3: the screen or focus on the band. But I was
Speaker 3: great to finally see you two live. I've always wanted
Speaker 3: to see them since college.
Speaker 2: And yeah, did you shake's hand?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 5: You had your Michael or your Jackson five moment. I
Speaker 5: almost had a Bono moment because Bono, the nut that
Speaker 5: he is, actually walks out on the sidewalk in front
Speaker 5: of the sphere and shakes people hands and tells people
Speaker 5: that he's an impersonator.
Speaker 2: I got.
Speaker 3: A picture. I am literally nine feet ten feet away
Speaker 3: from Bono as he's taking a picture with another person.
Speaker 3: But he said he was an impersonator, so I kept
Speaker 3: on going. And then he came out on stage in
Speaker 3: the exact same outfit.
Speaker 2: You had your chance.
Speaker 3: I had my chance, But yeah, he was that close.
Speaker 3: But the show was spectacular, And yeah, I almost flew
Speaker 3: back to Vegas to try and see another the show again,
Speaker 3: but I couldn't quite swing it.
Speaker 2: But I say that my favorite room his room sixteen
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. I'm not going to say it. I
Speaker 2: don't want to let people know the room I am in,
Speaker 2: and I stay in Vegas. It is a suite, and
Speaker 2: I've stayed in that suite at least four times. I
Speaker 2: used to get my room on the other side facing
Speaker 2: the bellagio and the fountains. They put me. They put
Speaker 2: me there once, just as a suite that was available.
Speaker 2: The light from the sphere is so bright. Literally, I
Speaker 2: have to close the curtains because you come two, three,
Speaker 2: four o'clock in the morning. I can't go to sleep
Speaker 2: because the light is.
Speaker 3: So captive Vegas.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you were that close and it was that bright,
Speaker 6: well then I know one of two potential.
Speaker 3: Hotels that it was. But I won't say that.
Speaker 2: I'll say I'll say the hotel was a Flamingo. But
Speaker 2: the filmco has five styles. I was in room, so
Speaker 2: good luck on narrowing down which one I was in. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll just tell you it was on the sixteenth floor.
Speaker 3: Okay. Well, I stayed across the street, I at the Venetians. Okay,
Speaker 3: but yeah, and.
Speaker 2: Nancy is sitting next to me. Nancy, I'm going to
Speaker 2: tell that story. I'm going to tell that story. I
Speaker 2: every time I go to Vegas, I speak to Nancy
Speaker 2: at least two or three times a day for whatever reason,
Speaker 2: her phone wasn't receiving my calls, so she couldn't hear
Speaker 2: from me, and she called the front desk saying, I
Speaker 2: think there's a problem. The person his name is Morgan
Speaker 2: White Jr. He's in room bloody, bloody blah, and could
Speaker 2: you just check to make sure everything's okay. Now. I
Speaker 2: am a very sound sleeper. It's roughly about two or
Speaker 2: three in the morning. I am sound asleep. I hear
Speaker 2: people in my room, three of I'm guessing former NFL linebackers,
Speaker 2: three of the biggest security people I've ever seen. They're
Speaker 2: in my room, and I say, can I help you? Well,
Speaker 2: we're just checking on your welfare, mister White. Your girlfriend
Speaker 2: in Boston hasn't heard from you all day and she's
Speaker 2: just concerned. I said, okay, I'll call her right now.
Speaker 2: I call now again. I said two or three in
Speaker 2: the morning, it's not between five and six. Here. Nancy
Speaker 2: answers the phone and says, Morgan, I'm sorry. I now
Speaker 2: heard the messages that you have left for me. I
Speaker 2: hadn't heard them before I called to say there was
Speaker 2: a problem. I hope I didn't make an issue for you.
Speaker 2: And of course I'm not Madcauchs worried about me, but
Speaker 2: three of the biggest earliest security people you can imagine.
Speaker 2: Mm hm, we're in in my room and I was
Speaker 2: a little concerned at first, but I quickly was able
Speaker 2: to grasp the situation. Oh, so, what did you learn
Speaker 2: from this story? Don't fool with Nancy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, when you get out there, you know, I'm
Speaker 3: not sure who the group will be. I know the
Speaker 3: Eagles are doing a stint. Stateful Dead is doing a
Speaker 3: stint out there, right. But YouTube broke the place in,
Speaker 3: and they broke the place in. It was an unbelievable show.
Speaker 2: YouTube is pretty much YouTube is pretty much the same
Speaker 2: band since the eighties, but the Grateful Dead and they've
Speaker 2: had some personnel changes, and the Eagles have had some
Speaker 2: personnel changes. People die, people age out of the limelight.
Speaker 2: So if you're a huge fan of any group, you
Speaker 2: better hurry up and see them before they too. Wave goodbye.
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, we're losing too many.
Speaker 2: Now it's Steve, thank you for your call. Thanks able,
Speaker 2: take good care your thanksgiving bye bye. All right, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna take my last break of the hour. Vinnie and
Speaker 2: I will finish up the last roughly twelve minutes of
Speaker 2: the show. You're welcome to participate. You can dial in
Speaker 2: six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty or eight eight, eight,
Speaker 2: nine to nine, ten thirty. This is night Side. I
Speaker 2: am Morgan. He's Vinnie. Time and temperature eleven forty three
Speaker 2: forty one degrees.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray Mine from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: So, Vinnie, I have a question for you. Yes, sir,
Speaker 2: your wife Tracy. Do you two share the same taste
Speaker 2: and music?
Speaker 3: Yes? And no. We both like Taylor of course. In fact,
Speaker 3: when I do my personal amount Rushmore, I'll talk about
Speaker 3: one of her shows. But she likes, you know, Sean
Speaker 3: Paul Pittbull that type of thing. I like Pearl, Jim,
Speaker 3: Dave Matthews, Ban Taylor an eclick taste. I guess for nineties.
Speaker 2: Because Nancy and I have different tastes.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: I am older than she, so my taste goes back
Speaker 2: to the sixties. Obviously. I'm a Monkey's fan. I'm a
Speaker 2: Jackson five fan, Temptations, Diary, Ross, who commodore Oh, definitely
Speaker 2: the Commodorees. She's a brick. You gotta say that word
Speaker 2: the right way. She's just at all hang out there
Speaker 2: you go, and.
Speaker 3: Very good.
Speaker 2: And as you mentioned that, I forget where I saw them,
Speaker 2: but I did see the Comodos perform at the Music
Speaker 2: Hall way back in the early seventies. So the music
Speaker 2: she likes is not the music I like. But we
Speaker 2: are comfortable with each other's tastes. For an example, I
Speaker 2: go ahead, I was going to say about that.
Speaker 3: That's okay too. You know that you learn from each
Speaker 3: other doing it that way.
Speaker 2: Yes, there's a series of channels called Music Choice, and
Speaker 2: they play all styles. If you like opera, you can
Speaker 2: go to a station and the Music Choice set up
Speaker 2: and listen to opera. If you like country music, there's
Speaker 2: a station two or three stations to listen to country music.
Speaker 2: And there are times I listened to the sixties and
Speaker 2: all the different pop acts that were around in the sixties.
Speaker 2: There's a soul set, so I'll plug that in and
Speaker 2: take a nap, and I'll go to sleep to the
Speaker 2: Commodores or Diana Ross, or to Cameo or to the Jacksons,
Speaker 2: And I'm quite happy with both of those stations playing
Speaker 2: the order of music. That sets me up to remember
Speaker 2: the seventies and eighties and nineties, and that's why music
Speaker 2: should be find what makes your choice work? Is there
Speaker 2: an act that you haven't yet been able to catch
Speaker 2: but would love to? If I could say, here's a
Speaker 2: pair of one hundred dollars tickets to go see blah,
Speaker 2: who would blah be?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Tracy and I have always said if our em reunited,
Speaker 3: we would definitely see our em because we both loved
Speaker 3: them so much, and we did not see them before
Speaker 3: they retired. Billy Joel I have yet to see. I
Speaker 3: haven't seen Paul McCartney. Thank god. I saw Tom Petty
Speaker 3: and the Heartbreakers before he passed. Over the course of
Speaker 3: the past year, I was lucky enough to see Bruce Springsteen,
Speaker 3: and I just saw the Rolling Stones, so and Madonna, Madonna,
Speaker 3: Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones all within the past
Speaker 3: year or so. And I got to see Jimmy Buffett
Speaker 3: two years ago. So a lot of these bucket list acts,
Speaker 3: thank goodness, I've been able to see, but probably are right.
Speaker 2: To have seen Jimmy Buffett. I have seen him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: anytime soon.
Speaker 3: No, that's why that caller, he made a great point
Speaker 3: what he said, to see these acts now before you
Speaker 3: know it's too late. Speaking of too late, we were
Speaker 3: talking about Woodstock in nineteen sixty nine, Jennis Jopam played that,
Speaker 3: and a year year later in August of nineteen seventy
Speaker 3: at Harvard Stadium, was her last concert. To be the
Speaker 3: believe that we're approaching years.
Speaker 2: I know that was her last concert. And it's funny
Speaker 2: when you think about Jennis Joplin. Another artist who was
Speaker 2: offered to play Woodstock but felt that the security just
Speaker 2: left too much to be desired and he was afraid
Speaker 2: somebody's going to put a hit on him. Van Morrison.
Speaker 2: That Van Merrison, excuse me, excuse me, the lead singer
Speaker 2: of the Doors, Jim Jim Morrison, thank you. He didn't
Speaker 2: want to play there because he felt somebody would take
Speaker 2: him out.
Speaker 3: Wow. Well, I guess he would have needed your previous guest,
Speaker 3: the Burner thing, to protect him apparently. But let me
Speaker 3: give you my personal I'm out Rushmore and Morgan shows
Speaker 3: that that I'd still remember to this day. So I
Speaker 3: was lucky enough to see the original Guns N' Roses
Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety ninety one ninety two when they caught
Speaker 3: fire with that the type of destruction they played. Schafer
Speaker 3: Stadium before it was Gillette Stadium with Metallica and Faith
Speaker 3: No More. And it was one of the craziest rock
Speaker 3: and roll shows I've ever seen. People were throwing quarters around.
Speaker 3: Actl of course had to melt down, so that's one
Speaker 3: my lift. I was fortunate to see Pearl Jam in
Speaker 3: two thousand and three when they did something called the
Speaker 3: Experiment where they played majority of their catalog. I saw
Speaker 3: at nWay go ahead.
Speaker 2: Of you remember their original name Pearl Jam.
Speaker 3: Mookie Blaylock, very good, you can see program We'll kick
Speaker 3: you up early Nay because they were fans of the
Speaker 3: basketball player.
Speaker 2: The reason they couldn't keep that name is because the
Speaker 2: NBA said no, no, no, no, no, you can't name
Speaker 2: yourself after one of our players.
Speaker 3: Right right. And I think Mookie was number ten, which
Speaker 3: is the number the name of their first album, so
Speaker 3: I gave it a correlation there. So Dave Matthew's van
Speaker 3: and Willie Nelson played together at Fenway Park, so that's
Speaker 3: probably on my list. And I have a tie. I
Speaker 3: thankfully say Elton John before he retired the Yellow Brick
Speaker 3: Road Tour, and that would get an asterisk, but I
Speaker 3: have to include the Taylor swift aristour because Tracy and
Speaker 3: I sat in a monsoon. We were in the cheap
Speaker 3: seat suite. Somehow got forty nine dollars feats when the
Speaker 3: original tickets dropped. We sat in a monsoon for three
Speaker 3: and a half hours, Morgan and my poncho ripped in half,
Speaker 3: my clothes got stoked. The piano did not work the
Speaker 3: next night, and this poor girl played for three and
Speaker 3: a half hours in a monsoon. I will remember that
Speaker 3: concert for the rest of my life. What is your
Speaker 3: mount Rushmoer? We know about the Jackson five thing and Vegas?
Speaker 3: What else is Gunillas?
Speaker 2: Let's see here. I've seen Stevie Wonder. He put on
Speaker 2: a hell of show and I would love to see
Speaker 2: him again. Stevie ray Vaughan. I just love his work
Speaker 2: on the guitar.
Speaker 3: Wow, you got to see it's okay?
Speaker 2: And who else? Let me think and you won't know
Speaker 2: the name, Okay, Boots Randolph, who was a legend with
Speaker 2: the saxophone. Okay, I would definitely pay any amount of
Speaker 2: money to go a million miles to see him perform.
Speaker 2: I think he's passed on, but he was a great
Speaker 2: player of the saxophone.
Speaker 3: Where did you see him.
Speaker 2: Paul sam All, Paul tom All on Borilston Street other
Speaker 2: Jazz Workshop. Those two places venues were interchangeable, but that's
Speaker 2: where it saw.
Speaker 3: Okay, never heard of him, but see if I could
Speaker 3: fill him on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I guarantee you to be able to find
Speaker 2: him and Boots last name Randolph, like random Randolph for
Speaker 2: the Yankees.
Speaker 3: Okay, got it?
Speaker 2: And I would also like if I could to see
Speaker 2: Gil Scott heron again. He had a big hit with
Speaker 2: In the Bottle. I don't know if you have any
Speaker 2: reference point to early seventies music.
Speaker 3: Barry Manilow and Crystal Gale. I mean that's my range
Speaker 3: for early seventies. Maybe a little Neil Diamond.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I mean Neil Diamond. How can you go
Speaker 2: wrong with Neil Diamond.
Speaker 3: Frankie Belly in the Four Seasons.
Speaker 2: No, I wish I had seen them for real, not
Speaker 2: you know the Jersey Boys thing, but I wish i'd
Speaker 2: seen them for real. Now'ing Tracy to enjoy your Thanksgiving tomorrow. Okay,
Speaker 2: are you going to her family? Going to your family?
Speaker 2: Staying home? What are you doing?
Speaker 3: So? I'm staying local. She's in Connecticut. She left tonight
Speaker 3: because she does a little race called the Turkey Trot
Speaker 3: with her nephews. So she's running with her nephews tomorrow morning,
Speaker 3: and I will be at my brother's but she'll be
Speaker 3: back over the weekend.
