That really is a shit angle.

Re: Some Interesting Pictures
Until the PA’s got hung entirely from the ceiling (most of the dates on the Dynaty tour) side views would always be blocked by the PA on the ground regardless oh whether there were decorated or not. That was just a thing in the 70’s that if you sat on the side, you didn’t see the drummer.rwgriffith wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 1:02 amThat really is a shit angle.

During what was technically the Rock N Roll over tour in winter 76/77 they got rid of the electricity/lighting towers and the road crew got really lazy with putting up the castle and moonscape tapestries/banners that covered the PA so it made it look cheap. If you look at the Destroyer stage on the opening night in all it’s glory, it looks pretty badass.

Does anyone know who this guy is with Ace and Jeanette? I've seen it captioned Sylvain Sylvain but that's obviously wrong.

Re: Some Interesting Pictures
The "Destroyer" stage was absolutely fantastic (easily a Rock theater masterpiece of it's time) & if I could plug everyone that missed it into my memories/experience of it directly from my brain, I gladly would. I'd say so far, no videotape or film that I'm aware of does that one all that much or proper justice, but maybe someday something overall better shot will turn-up.sagedrummer wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 11:45 pmUntil the PA’s got hung entirely from the ceiling (most of the dates on the Dynaty tour) side views would always be blocked by the PA on the ground regardless oh whether there were decorated or not.

The "LOVE GUN/ALIVE II" stage is my favorite of all-time, but "Destroyer" definitely comes in at a close second.

I really like this one (& I'll entitle it): "The Way We Were" (Los Angeles, Summer 1977).

Re: Some Interesting Pictures
If I'm correct, the man in the photo (with Ace and Jeanette) is bassist Kenny Aaronson.
(Billy Squier/Billy Idol/HSAS/Derringer).

It is photoshopped. The original photo is of Gene and a police officer backstage somewhere in Canada on the 1977 Can/Am tour.Eddie Van Hazel wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 4:01 pm Cool shots.
That Cher with Gene pic looks photoshopped.

This photo was taken in the front of Ace's home in Wilton, CT. Likely around 1979...stickyfinger wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 10:59 amThis has always been a very disturbing picture. Anybody know where this is originally from?

Re: Some Interesting Pictures
The photo in question is creepy on a number of levels. Not the least of which is the sheer size of Ace's bacon bazooka...Hellbastard wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 1:44 pmIt is not ... er ...

With his two “trained” German Shepards that used to terrorize his wife and family, she used to lock herself in the bathroom to hide from them.

I can't help but to wonder what the girl in the lower right looked like in the 80's.
