The Hootenanny! I was at this show🕶 one of thee best live bands I've ever seen, and Gabby was the best frontman I've ever seen. I remember he was singing Santana but he changed the lyrics to "I got a black magic marker and it's trying to make a tagger out of me" haha Cadillac Hearse was always my jam. R.I.P. Gabby! A SoCal Legend.
R.I.P. Gabby! I Was lucky enough to catch a bunch of Tramps shows here in San Diego back in their heyday. Gabby, you always brought fun, energy, excitement... Your band guaranteed a totally enjoyable night of punk rock. 100%. All those Casbah shows back in the 90s... when I was visiting Denver back in the 90s, I was lucky to catch a Colorado CTs show. My Thoughts are with your loved ones y su familia!
I saw them play very early on myself. Every Casbah shows as well as at the North Park fair onetime, Golden Bear with Thelonious Monster and Big Drill Car and in Long Beach & Hollywood multiple times. This is a great version of Intro/Hoodoo Guru which was standard at live shows at the time.
I went to two Hootenannys: I think I caught the Tramps at the first one, but at the second one I passed out in the back of a '60 Ford Starliner (it later became "Agent Orange" but back then it was yellow) and missed them! I dont drink anymore ;)
