Reggie29 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I saw them in 72. Pity they only played for 45 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Monkey Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Were they any good or was it full of screaming girlies. Watched a documentary on the Sweet the other night (after buying a compilation for £4), apparantly they took it very seriously and were well rehearsed. Lets have a glam rock revival right here, right now........next up Steve harley and Cockney rebel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Sweet not long after and they were surprisingly good and loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Lane Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Same here, I was also born after his death too. Still I think it must have been a hell of a show, even if the only played 45 mins. rite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUK Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Saw them in '73, I think. They played in club up on route 23 called "A Joint in the woods". From what I can remember it was pretty crazy. He smashed his guitar and peices went into the audience. It was VERY glammed up. Platform shoes etc. I dressed like a grunge guy, army pants, work boots and a flanel shirt. It was a uniform of sorts, I guess. I think Bolan was pretty well gone throughout the show. Kind of a dissappointment. Maybe it was near the end. Within the last three years I got the CD of Electric Warrior. What a great CD! Had no idea the Tony Visconti connection and what a NY soul influence he had on those Brit lads.

You're thinking of "The Joint in the Woods" it was out Route 46 west in Parsippany, NJ. I saw Badfinger there in 1974. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Badfinger there in 1974. 23 - 46, 73 - 74, I'll leave the numbers up to accountants Tully. Ain't it funny that Parsippany used to be "the WOODS". I lived in Union County so all Northern Jersey was foreign country to me. Thanks for focusing my foggy memories. It's funny how the past becomes like a shimmering mirage. Do you know where exactly it was in Parsippany? I go out there on 46 often. I think I mixed it up with Mother's on 23. (or is that just another wisp?)

I lived in Mothers for a couple of years. I have no clue where in Parsippany the joint was located. It's probably been replaced with a corporate park.
