Yep I messed up on that one and uploaded the wrong video. I was trying to separate the bands and mark the beginning of the songs. I'll keep working on that! anyway Enjoy! |

This is really a great thread, and now some more videos are trickling in (thanks Guy!). I wish Johnny Atom (page 1) and some other people would share any memories they have of this. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Wow, that was an interesting exercise in time travel. I'm sure most of you recognize Jeff Utterback on drums (later of The Huntington Cads) in the J&TNs set. Not sure where Dusty was at that time (or Greg Eckler for that matter). I'd forgotten about several tunes like "Dance On," "Stringer," or "Moon Cricket" (mistakenly announced as "Charge of The Nightriders" by Dave in the video clip) that I hardly remember putting in our set at the time. Despite the fact that this tour was "ill fated," we all had a great time, made the best of the situation, and made memories that will last forever. And, I still have the t-shirt. —www.johnblair.us Last edited: Apr 17, 2020 20:27:13 |

Great photos Ivan! When I was forming the Reluctant Aquanauts I took a lot of ideas from the late 90s surf movement. That time ranks up there in my mind with the original first wave of the 60s. —"as he stepped into the stealthy night air... little did he know the fire escape was not there" https://www.facebook.com/reluctantaquanauts/ |

I actually attended the Atlanta show. As a matter of fact, so did Woody J and Tone Boy, although at that point I had not met either of them. I sat front row seating, stage left. I thought the bands were awesome and kept thinking to myself......."I absolutely HAVE to do this!" And, "where the hell is everybody?" Twenty three years later and we are all still making it happen. What a great family. The promoter, who also booked "Dottie's" slipped out of town at some point after that and reportedly moved to the North West area. ed —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |

I just updated the link to the Volcanos with the song corrections Rick posted on Youtube. I wish I would have been there! I would have loved it! At least I got to see the videos! |
