    Saw him at a "Country Music USA "dinner theater I worked at for a while somewhere in Alexandria Va. I think it was. . I saw a lot of Artists that one long summer when I was 16.

    I think I remember Jerry was Drunk as S**t but performed his hits pretty good. I think I remember him playing the piano with his boot heel along with his hands. The crowed was rocking that night too !Everybody behind the scene thought he wasn't going to perform well but he did. I think I remember the staff closest to organizing the night, telling us later that he left with 3 women.

    Now my memory is faded concerning those weekend nights there and it could've been another Artist but I think 99% it was him . Jimmy Crash Craddock....he played a weekend there along with a bunch that toured back then. It was definitely a high class steak house with a stage and dance floor too. Talk about a smoky lounge after dinner was finished. Liquor, wine and beer flowed all night. Some even made it back to us if we wanted it. Most Artists were Top Notch Well known performers. The owners son and I made Leather purses with southwest designs we stamped into them using those leather tools. We'd stain and buff them. Stitch the seems like pros too. We were good too. Sold em for like 50.00 each. Back then, that was serious change for us, minus the owners of the Restaurant getting a cut. I almost started to advance into saddle engraving but girls got my attention more after that summer job.

    It was a Blast of a job for a 16 year old. I was into ( classic now ) rock then but those live Country Music shows were awesome !
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    It was a Blast job.

    Great story! I saw him at a similar venue in North Kansas City, MO in 1983 (the Gold Buffet). Met him accidentally while sneaking a smoke out the side door between the dinner and show. He asked me how to get to Olathe, KS (he pronounced it "Oh La Thay" :D ) from our location because he had met two sisters from there the night before who wanted to party.

    Put on a great show! Hope he found the sisters later.

    Jesse! You just blew my mind. I never would have thought. Saw them live a couple years ago in Englewood a little bit before the Off! album came out.

    I just tell them to get back, when they tell me how to act! I've got the world up my ****$

    My heat pump ran almost all night.

    The owners manual says that's a lot cheaper than switching on the Emergency resistive strips heat mode for an hour. We were at 76 in most of our house.

    I was just thinking of him a few days ago! When he died, Ted Nugent said that he wanted to pi$$ on his grave because he died from drugs. :facepalm:

    Listened to these in this order (which is required, IMO):

    I am always amazed at how great the original Japanese Mini LP of Obscured By Clouds sounds. Definitely recommended!

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    I love "Meddle", "Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", and "The Wall", but I have never heard anything from "Obscured By Clouds" except for the song "Free Four" on the "Works" compilation. :o

    That's going to change soon, though. I bought the "Discovery" box set and I am going to "fill in the blanks" as it were. :p I already "discovered" the album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" for the FIRST TIME a few months ago.
