Location: cincinnati, ohio | Cincinnati, Ohio - late '60's - early '70's. The place was called the Family Owl; sort of the local version of the Troubadour Club. It's a parking lot now. :(
Our band was one of the regular groups - we did a lot of CSN&Y type acoustic rock, some of which we wrote, and some of which were covers. There was another regular band there called Melange. And they were HOT! Played everything from bluegrass to the folk-rock kind of stuff we did, all kinds of acoustic instruments - guitars, mandolins, banjos. We jammed with them a lot.
Anyway, they had a guitar player with a really smooth country-rock voice.
The kid's name was Craig Fuller, from Covington, Kentucky, just across the river.
He started a band called Pure Prairie League.
Wrote a song called "Amie."
Beyond that we didn't have much home grown stuff. Adrian Belew (also from Covington), who played with David Bowie. Blessid Union of Souls and Over the Rhine in recent years.
Oh - and Peter Frampton lives here now... :D |

Location: Central California, USA | In the San Francisco Bay Area.. wow.. yeah.. lots. To name them is like trying to answer a question that you have 1,000 answers to.. but don't know where to start.
I see that Dobro beat me to the New Riders of the Purpla Sage (5 times). A little history about that:: most people don't realize that the Grateful Dead was born from a fork in the road of the New Riders of the Purple Sage. When Garcia fired up the Dead and they split into seperate bands, no one knew which one (if either) was going to go forward or die. It ends up that, obviously, the Dead made the huge advancements, but NRPS didn't exactly roll over and die. In fact, their most recent album release is 2009.. so for impact's sake it was the Grateful Dead.. but for longevity's sake, NRPS still has a pumping heartbeat. Long Live the spirit of Marmaduke!
If anyone else remembers standing in line on Steiner Street during foggy evenings waiting to get into Winterland during the late 60's to mid 70's, you know what I mean. It was actually REAL back then. Frankly, I feel quite patriotic to have been a part of that era in the SF Bay Area.. and don't even get me started on Tower of Power! |

I think there are others but these stuck in my head. I remember a few of those bands doing the Thruway circuit but would "804" be "805"? 805 was a Syracuse group that played exceptional progressive rock. I'm not sure I ever caught an "804". |
