You got to think 71 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.759 about Woodstock from nineteen sixty nine. That's got to be 72 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.120 on a mount Rushmore list of famous concert events. Anything 73 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.079 for Michael Jackson. He was, you know, so influential with 74 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.720 the advent of MTV and the Thriller video. Most people 75 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.959 would talk about the nineteen ninety two concert in Romania 76 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.839 that was on HBO because it was the biggest ratings 77 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.759 drop for HBO in its history. But he's had so 78 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.319 many tours between the Victory Tour with his brothers in 79 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.279 nineteen eighty four or the Dangerous tour of that tour. 80 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.360 I would put him on there and probably number four. 81 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:18.680 I know a lot of folks would either go with 82 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.800 Live Aid or led Zeppelin Reunion or something along those mines. 83 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.639 I would go because of how successful the movie is 84 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.160 and how successful this concert tour is. The errors tour 85 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.959 with your favorite performer, Taylor Swift. That would be on 86 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:34.279 my ruckmore. 87 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:40.199 My walls in the house are covered with Taylor Swift posters. 88 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:44.360 How you're a Swift anymore? Agan, Nancy, you're a swiftly? 89 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:45.279 Yeah? 90 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.040 Okay? Indeed, and then and. 91 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:49.360 Then and then I woke up. 92 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:54.639 Yeah, so what you know better than me? You're you're 93 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.959 a little bit older than me. Forget about we'll talk 94 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.759 about events that you've gone to. What is your mount 95 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.279 run more in terms of famous concert events that you 96 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:03.920 can think of? 97 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.399 All right, not out of my own personal experience, just 98 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.399 across the board, appreciation for the skills that we saw 99 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:21.360 demonstrated on stage. Okay, well, I would have to say 100 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:29.800 number one through four should include I have to say it, 101 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.720 Diana Ross. She had the longevity to go sixties, seventies, eighties, 102 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.800 and nineties, and she's gotta be up there. I will 103 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:45.639 agree with you. With the Beatles, I will also say, 104 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:55.800 oh my goodness, I'm going to go off the charts 105 00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:01.360 and go with someone who had a strong career, necessarily 106 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.439 not mainstream. Bette Midler. 107 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.279 Really I think she did. 108 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:15.120 She did. The key is to be interesting with a 109 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:22.839 span of decades. He gotta have decades in your back pocket, 110 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:25.879 and I hate to do it to you. 111 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.639 Frank Sinatra, did you ever see Sinatra? 112 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:36.040 Yes? I saw Sinatra at the Desert End in Las Vegas. 113 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:42.360 He died within that year, and he put on a 114 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.560 heck of his show. Excuse me. I saw all of 115 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:53.639 the rap pack. I saw Sammy Davis Junior coupled with 116 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:59.879 Jerry Lewis. I saw Dean Martin on his own and 117 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.199 again I saw Frank Sinatra on his own right. So 118 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:11.199 you couldn't go wrong seeing them in the seventies or eighties. 119 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:17.199 By the nineties the shine had worn off of the chrome. Yeah. 120 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.680 Yeah, that's quite the murderer's row there. I'll tell you 121 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.240 the Beatles, Ben Midler, Sinatra and Diana Russ. Okay, yeah, 122 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.519 that's pretty good. And of course we can't forget the time, 123 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.879 speaking of Vegas, when the Jackson Vibe pulled you up 124 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:32.440 on stage and danced the night away. 125 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:36.240 Morgan, right, that is a true story.

I think I mentioned before the break. 190 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.799 I saw Sammy Davis on the same bill with Jerry Lewis, 191 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:42.000 if you can believe it, and he captivated the room. 192 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:45.519 It was silent, you could drop a pen and hear 193 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:49.360 it hit when he did Miss Jangles. 194 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.919 Yeah, I got an album of his, Morgan, I got 195 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:57.720 a mention to you. A few years back, they did 196 00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:02.519 a special on TV. It was a I believe a 197 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:10.679 birthday celebration for him of Sammy. Okay, this you know, 198 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:17.639 and back then I videotaped it. It's on a VHS. 199 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:25.399 Okay video taped the whole show, Okay, and it was wonderful. 200 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.120 And that was the last time that I actually had 201 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:35.559 seen him perform. But it was a live show on TV. 202 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.720 I was wondering if you had seen it. Do you 203 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:40.600 recall it? 204 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:47.879 Yes, I do it. And he did a movie I 205 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:53.960 think his last movie was with Gregory Hines called Tap Tap. 206 00:14:55.440 --> 00:15:01.600 He was an aging tap dancer and he again he 207 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.480 did all of his own quote unquote stunts done at 208 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:10.240 whatever age he was, and I'm guessing it was by 209 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:14.320 then mid eighties. He could still captivate an audience. 210 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:19.200 Oh yeah, oh yeah. Do you have a tape of 211 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.840 that show that celebration? 212 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:22.759 No? 213 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.600 I do not, You don't, can you do you have 214 00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:32.759 a DVD and a VHS player that you could play 215 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.279 it and watch it? 216 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.279 Well?

You 231 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:41.159 want to talk about your favorite concert performance performance, we 232 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.480 can do my Mount Rushmore. 233 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.679 Speaking of Johnny Cash, by the way, I would be 234 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:50.559 remiss if I didn't mention the Falshom Prison Blue concert 235 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:55.720 he did back in nineteen sixty eight. That should. You 236 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.600 can find it on YouTube, I'm sure. 237 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:04.799 Six seven thirty eight, eight nine to nineteen thirty and 238 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.880 I have just enough time to tell this story. And 239 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.480 I'm sorry if you've heard it before. Let me just 240 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.759 tell it and get it out the way. Nineteen seventy five, 241 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:19.799 I go to Vegas with my best friend Warren, and 242 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.680 he heard me tell this story on the air within 243 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.200 the past year. I don't know if he's listening now. 244 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.839 But we go to Vegas, arrive on a Thursday Thursday night. 245 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:35.119 We were staying at the Holiday Inn, and we go 246 00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.759 down the road a piece to the m Jim Grand 247 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:43.160 where the Jackson five were performing. Pay Our Money, Get in, 248 00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:47.599 get seated, you know, towards the back. By then all 249 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:51.440 the ringside seats have been taken and the other seats 250 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.279 as well. We're watching it's a two hour plus show. 251 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.000 Had a great time. Yeah, they did all the old songs, 252 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:08.039 and there was a bit with Janet and Randy, who 253 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:12.319 was still preteen at that time. They did a sunny 254 00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:19.240 and chair routine that was on the mark. So now 255 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:23.200 it comes down to the finale, which was Dancing Machine, 256 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.640 the song they had currently at that time on the radio. 257 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:33.599 I noticed immediately that a certain part of the song 258 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.000 towards the end, they were pulling people up that was 259 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.960 sitting ringside. And I turned my friend more and I said, 260 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:46.680 we're coming back on Sunday and we're going to get 261 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:50.960 ringside so we can get up on stage. I made 262 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:58.160 it happen. If you tip the Matred's obviously that goes 263 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.119 a long way. I forget what I tipped a twenty 264 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:06.839 fifty bucks, what have you. They set us ringside, and 265 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.799 when it came time for the finale, Marlin Marlon Jackson 266 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:17.039 pulled us up. So we're on the stage along with 267 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:22.480 about another twenty people dancing on stage two Dancing Machine 268 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.440 with the Jackson Five. As the curtain is coming down, 269 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:35.519 everybody now is looking for Michael. Michael did a Lance 270 00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:40.440 Burton disappear act like you've never seen. He was nowhere, 271 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:46.640 nowhere to be found, and the other brothers shook hands 272 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:53.119 and maybe signed a few autographs and apologize that Michael 273 00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:57.359 is just people shy and that's how he always handles 274 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:04.799 their finales, which was great. I interviewed the Jacksons about 275 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:11.400 four or five years ago. Marlin remembered the show, remembered 276 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:16.960 the bit about bringing people up, remembered that Michael always 277 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:22.279 just disappeared. He knew behind stage, he knew how to 278 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.359 get to wherever they needed to get to get back 279 00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:29.759 up to their rooms. So we laughed about that, and 280 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.039 I went to go see the show. It was at 281 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:37.480 north Shore Music Theater, and the remaining members of the 282 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.359 Jackson five put a hell of a show on. No Michael, 283 00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:47.400 no Dremaine, but the other four were there. They had 284 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:51.480 a great band. It was a great show. So if 285 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:57.200 you want to call in you sitting at home, half 286 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.039 hour of time left, Vinny and I can kip it 287 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:05.319 about our favorite shows beyond where we have gone, or 288 00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:09.440 take your calls, which I much rather do.

And on this note, 294 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.920 I think I'm gonna throw it to Rob and Dan 295 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:43.640 producing Nightside time and temperature eleven twenty nine forty one degrees. 296 00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:49.559 It's Nightside with Dan Ray on wb Boston's news radio. 297 00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:54.519 Vinnie, Carolyn and I are taking this to midnight the 298 00:21:54.599 --> 00:22:00.720 subject of your favorite concert you've ever witnessed. We've done 299 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:05.000 all styles of music. We've had names like Johnny Cash, 300 00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:12.759 Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior, the Beatles. Trust me, no 301 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:19.960 matter what era, your memory trails back to that memory. 302 00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:23.440 It works for us here. I'm busy. Let's go to 303 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:30.160 Mansfield and speak to Steve in Mansfield. Good evening, Steve, Hi, 304 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.720 how are you doing about him? All right? Good? Out 305 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:34.240 here you go. 306 00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:36.279 Yeah, you can hear me. 307 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:39.119 I can hear you. Love and clean now go ahead. 308 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.559 Very good. So but yes, my very first concept, by 309 00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:47.839 the way, was the Jackson five back in like nineteen 310 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:51.160 sixty nine in the Boston Garden. But it was a 311 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:55.799 concert that never finished because people couldn't act right and 312 00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:57.759 they kept on trying to jump on the stage. 313 00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:02.480 Yes, I remember that, and it carried over. They stayed 314 00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:07.079 at the Copperley Plaza, and a lot of people because 315 00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.200 you're not supposed to know where celebrities are staying. Boston 316 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:17.400 has about a dozen great hotels for celebrities, and you 317 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:20.200 weren't supposed to know. But somehow the word got out, 318 00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:26.880 and somehow everyday Citizens Joe and Jane's Citizens went to 319 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.640 the Copley Plaza, went to the correct floor that they 320 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:35.440 were on and acted a fool best way to say it. 321 00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:41.759 Okay, But the show that I would really highlight, actually 322 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:43.359 I saw it in the past year. I saw it 323 00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:47.160 in January this year, and that was out in Las Vegas, 324 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:51.559 where you go often. And I saw you two in 325 00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:52.160 this yere. 326 00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:55.200 Oh, that must have been great. 327 00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:58.920 How is the auditorium theer for concerts? I'm curious about 328 00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:04.720 that place. It's fantastic. The sound is fantastic, and then 329 00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:08.480 the visual aspect that you're going to get also. I mean, 330 00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:11.279 obviously you've been to like the omni theater at the 331 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.680 Museum of Science or something like that. Yeah, Now this 332 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:21.319 is an omni theater for fifteen thousand people. Wow. And 333 00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.759 and I was in the first row. I got a 334 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:28.240 seat in the first row and it was. It was 335 00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:31.480 an amazing experience. You didn't know whether the focus on 336 00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:33.880 the screen or focus on the band. But I was 337 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:36.839 great to finally see you two live. I've always wanted 338 00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.039 to see them since college. 339 00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:41.119 And yeah, did you shake's hand? 340 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:43.319 All right? 341 00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:48.480 You had your Michael or your Jackson five moment. I 342 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:53.079 almost had a Bono moment because Bono, the nut that 343 00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:57.359 he is, actually walks out on the sidewalk in front 344 00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:02.440 of the sphere and shakes people hands and tells people 345 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:03.680 that he's an impersonator. 346 00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:05.799 I got. 347 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:12.000 A picture. I am literally nine feet ten feet away 348 00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:15.839 from Bono as he's taking a picture with another person. 349 00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:19.440 But he said he was an impersonator, so I kept 350 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:21.920 on going. And then he came out on stage in 351 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:23.079 the exact same outfit. 352 00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:25.880 You had your chance. 353 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.119 I had my chance, But yeah, he was that close. 354 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:39.119 But the show was spectacular, And yeah, I almost flew 355 00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:43.119 back to Vegas to try and see another the show again, 356 00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:45.039 but I couldn't quite swing it. 357 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:52.680 But I say that my favorite room his room sixteen 358 00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.640 blah blah blah. I'm not going to say it. I 359 00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.599 don't want to let people know the room I am in, 360 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.279 and I stay in Vegas. It is a suite, and 361 00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:08.279 I've stayed in that suite at least four times. I 362 00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:12.200 used to get my room on the other side facing 363 00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:16.319 the bellagio and the fountains. They put me. They put 364 00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:20.480 me there once, just as a suite that was available. 365 00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:27.400 The light from the sphere is so bright. Literally, I 366 00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:31.400 have to close the curtains because you come two, three, 367 00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:35.680 four o'clock in the morning. I can't go to sleep 368 00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:36.839 because the light is. 369 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:40.119 So captive Vegas. 370 00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:40.759 Yeah. 371 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:48.880 Yeah, if you were that close and it was that bright, 372 00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:53.240 well then I know one of two potential. 373 00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:55.039 Hotels that it was. But I won't say that. 374 00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:58.480 I'll say I'll say the hotel was a Flamingo. But 375 00:26:58.519 --> 00:27:00.880 the filmco has five styles. I was in room, so 376 00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:06.440 good luck on narrowing down which one I was in. Okay, 377 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:09.079 I'll just tell you it was on the sixteenth floor. 378 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:18.000 Okay. Well, I stayed across the street, I at the Venetians. Okay, 379 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:24.640 but yeah, and. 380 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.400 Nancy is sitting next to me. Nancy, I'm going to 381 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:35.160 tell that story. I'm going to tell that story. I 382 00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:38.279 every time I go to Vegas, I speak to Nancy 383 00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:42.359 at least two or three times a day for whatever reason, 384 00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:48.000 her phone wasn't receiving my calls, so she couldn't hear 385 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:55.400 from me, and she called the front desk saying, I 386 00:27:55.440 --> 00:28:01.000 think there's a problem. The person his name is Morgan 387 00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:07.279 White Jr. He's in room bloody, bloody blah, and could 388 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.319 you just check to make sure everything's okay. Now. I 389 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:17.599 am a very sound sleeper. It's roughly about two or 390 00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:24.359 three in the morning. I am sound asleep. I hear 391 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:32.720 people in my room, three of I'm guessing former NFL linebackers, 392 00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:38.640 three of the biggest security people I've ever seen. They're 393 00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:45.000 in my room, and I say, can I help you? Well, 394 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.920 we're just checking on your welfare, mister White. Your girlfriend 395 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:54.680 in Boston hasn't heard from you all day and she's 396 00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:58.319 just concerned. I said, okay, I'll call her right now. 397 00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:05.359 I call now again. I said two or three in 398 00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:10.759 the morning, it's not between five and six. Here. Nancy 399 00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:15.039 answers the phone and says, Morgan, I'm sorry. I now 400 00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.599 heard the messages that you have left for me. I 401 00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:21.680
