Part of the 1978 NYC Halloween gigs, this week’s Friday Boot takes us back to October 29 — just two days before “The Big One“. Definitely worth checking out, if only for the opening solo that is Watermelon In Easter Hay and a splendid rendition of Yo Mama.
Updated August 12 to include Packard Goose.

“Idiot Bastard Son”: In TRFZBook he said he couldn’t even pass an audition to sing in his own band. Too right: in fact ezpeshially his own band!

Terrific show.
Only thing remotely wrong here - the closing number’s missing, and it was Packard Goose!

Here’ a rapidshare link with Packard Goose (from this show, of course). I hope it fits the previous one…

Thanks Balint. I’m uploading that one as we speak, and will be adding it to the download page.

hey nice one, some really nice rarities here.
i knew i recognised the ‘twenty one’ riff but couldn’t place it.. and upon further investigation found it is the same as the trance-fusion title track (bass) riff, but played a lot faster here.
that packard goose really gets special in the solo section, i wonder why this band didn’t play this great song more (and i know they played it in 1979 but only in rehearsals).

Thanks ! Would be fantastic if the next five weeks contained the rest of the 1978 NYC halloween gigs. …
