I worked at the Mabuhay , I Beam and other clubs in SF during the 80s

I saw many interesting things that involved white powders and noses and needles and women that gave oral and knives and guns .

Thank you very much , I needed to get that out .

Has this been therapeutic for you? Feel better now? :D

So much for what you saw; did you hear anything of interest? Or, for that matter, play any?

(Not being sarcastic, not a jab, just expiring minds want to know... ) :cool:

If he comes around, I think you'll dig Erik's posts. His epic road-report threads deserve their own special archival forum ensconced somewhere on the 'net...

I'll bet you saw some great shows too.

Viva Los Microwaves...

Viva Los Microwaves... I saw everything , from the demise of punk to the upstarts of this speed metal thing called metallica .

Hah! That's awesome. Never caught DK. How did they sound, live?

I played the Mab back in 1982-1983 in my first real gigging band, "LIX". Do you remember me? I was the Lead guitarist. I later did some subsitute work for a metal band calle Rightious Sire. Remember them?

Well my rock years are long over as I have no desire to play it anymore and now I have fallen back to my roots in Latin Music. You can hear my new stuff with the hyper-link below.

My band The Nails played somewhere around SF back in those days. I think it was in Oakland and The Lords of The New Church played the day before us.

I think the stage was pretty high, I think I was too. Anyone remember the name of that joint?
