K-Rock was better in the 80s. In 82-83, I had to drive from Colonia, NJ to West Windsor, NJ five days a week. The Philadelphia stations I listened to in the car were better than the NYC stations. When I was at home, I listened to WNEW and WDHA from Dover, NJ.
I grew up on Long Island, NY and listened to WNEW-FM all the time, best rock station in those days! Remember listening to this cranked up loud in my bedroom, I was 16 and in 10th grade at the time. Dad asked me to turn it down- yeah right, for about a minute!☺
Was there as usual 😊! I always say,one of the best Power Trio’s of all time! The Captain,Mr Eyebrows (aka thunder) and The Man of Steel! Forever grateful to see them at the top of their game! Hot F’in Tuna Forever !!
Great memories. I was fortunate to see a ton of Palladium, Beacon Theater, Bottom Line and tri-state area shows between 75 to 80. Tuna, Zappa, Dead, Jeff Beck, Santana and a bunch of blues and fusion stuff. Still have the stubs.
Rock me baby, I saw Hot Tuna at the Academy of Music around this time, when they played this song the whole building rocked, my ears are still ringing.
It was called the Academy of Music when I saw Tuna there in 1973. By 1976 the name had become the Palladium. Great venue, saw many shows there. Loved the fact that they often offered both early and late shows. When Hot Tuna played there, I purchased tickets for both shows and made a long night of it. Those were the daze!
I saw them April of that year in Washington D.C.. They were extremely loud and I have talked to others who saw during the 1970s who report that H.T. were loud as Hell. I recall that Jack was shredding his bass cabinets.
Saw Hot Tuna at a venue so small, they had to book the show as Cold Salmon. Didn't fool me though, as soon as I saw Cold Salmon, I knew who was playing.
Those days we'd go over to Brooklyn, a friends house and catch every show on that weekend. Every year we went back for more of the same. All together I saw HFT over 35 thirty five times. A Thanksgiving weekend would take at least four days to get "Unshell Shocked". "Jorma Wails and Jack Sails".
Well said! "So good but dirty at the same time." Lord knows how good it makes me feel! The energy is just incredible. NOTHING like it in all of my years.
A buddy of mine, Gary Plouffe' recorded this concert for me on 8 track. He wasn't a fan and bitched about the time in between songs, MY GOD i wore it out.... wish i had it now....jam on!
This is from the Friday night show.. They played four shows in three days.. Wednesday night one show.. Thursday (Thanksgiving) no show.. Friday was this show broadcast on WNEW.. And Saturday night two shows, early and late..
John Zabecki Oh shit, can't believe you remember that, way cool! I had great seats to all four shows! Beyond outstanding! 😀 This is like being there again, minus the visuals and concert atmosphere!
JACK SANG WE GOT THE PARTY TONIGHT IN 1977,,,NOT 1976........ON 11/24-27/77......AT THE PALLADIUM........THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC turned into the PALLADIUM IN 1976.....
@@jonneredd ON THE ALBUM ONLY........JACK WAS SILENT until 11/24/77......when he sang a few lines to WE GOT THE PARTY TONIGHT.............JACK SAY SOMETHING!!
Way cool, I was at the concert and I had my Dad record it on WNEW-FM In New York.... Unfortunately my copy of the concert was destroyed over time, this is great, it's bringing back the memories vividly! Outstanding job! 😀
@@dansilecchia7355 I saw Tuna the first time back in 73, I've been a huge fan ever since. Couldn't even guess how many times I've seen them play throughout the years, it's never enough though... lol
This show was on 14th st I am looking for my old ticket stub I know I have it hot tuna on wnew 102.7fm I do remember they did2shows the early and then the late show it started at about 12.30 am and they played till 4.30 am my ears where buzzing for days the sound system was so large you could not put any more speakers on stage jack Flying V was bigger then jack and Jorma kicked ass if only one more time the songs live just play them again today the fans would get blown away I do believe as long as where are alive there is always a chance
Ronald Ansanelli Can't make a promise but I'm going to try and record it someway on a CD, if it comes out well, I'll be in touch through this page & someway we'll make arrangements for me to mail it to you buddy.... Sure hope I can figure out a way to do it, I was at this show, it was outstanding! Keep your fingers crossed if I can swing it, I'll be in touch.... I know how ya feel!
I remember recording this show on cassette . Does any one know how long this whole show was? I know WNEW . CAME IN AFTER THE SHOW STARTED. And the show was still going on when WNEW..ended the broadcast.
Well … It depends whether the simulcast was the early or the late show . The early show was almost 3 1/2 hours and the late show was about 5 1/2 hours long . So … 9 hours total !!
That guitar upped the ante on his usual reverse Firebird and Strats. Always looked like he was having more fun playing it also. Went to all 4 shows that weekend, incredibly hard to believe it was 46 years ago. My ears are still ringing.
