Dave Feinstein (with Joey DeMaio) - Midnight Lady (1978)

Before the formation of The Rods, David "Rock" Feinstein (guitars/vocals) released "Midnight Lady" 7inch single in 1978 (DMR Records). He was accompanied by Carl Canedy (Rods) on drums and the founder of Manowar, Joey DeMaio, on bass/keys. This is the self-titled track, a speedy hard rock anthem with a haunting chorus. Note that the single was not issued with a picture sleeve.

I never realized until Saturday when I read about it just how intertwined Dio and Manowar were....learn something new every day.

In moonlight, I was a lay in dream
See a lady all dressed in white
She’d come to greet me
She comes in silence
Beckoned softly with arms open wide
When will I meet the Midnight Lady?
When will I know that she is real?
How will I meet the Midnight Lady?
So I can tell her how I feel!
Then in the mist, I lay and dream
See a lady all dressed in white
Eyes like diamonds, hands all golden
There before me they come from ‘side (inside)
(Back to chorus)
(Solo)
When will I meet the Midnight Lady?
When will I know that she is real?
How will I meet the Midnight Lady?
So I can tell her how I feel! (x2)
I’m gonna show her how I feel!!!

I messaged Carl Canedy about this release yesterday. He told me the drummer’s name is Dave Galutz.

I just upload my favorite song (or 2 songs maximum) from LPs, EPs and singles that I like, not the entire albums.
I can send you a link to download both single tracks, if you want..

[@christophergordon7433]

What’s the B-Side of this?

[@christophergordon7433]

Can ya send me the link?

[@wenndingofoster5680]

This does not sound like Uriah Heep it sounds like Nightwing. A collaboration between Manowar and the Rods ?

[@OliverMagnum21]

Ready ... check your inbox... cheers

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

Damn, Joey is absolutely ripping up those bass lines. He was a great player even back then.

[@signofthestigmata]

Oh yeah giving steve harris of the time a runs for his money

[@_nekrothaftis_]

It just only me or the bass line makes you remember manowar ?

[@revelrem4409]

Makes sense, the two guys Feinstein's playing with here, according to RateYourMusic, would join Manowar.

[@derSkullsplitter]

Man, thanks for posting this. This is awesome.
I Love DeMaio, and David Feinstein is a personal favorite as well.

This is a blistering track! The band sounds on fire!

[@royalorphanmetal]

My God, this was 1978? This is great stuff. I bet this little 45 goes for a nice buck on ebay.

[@Tempusss19]

I would like that Eric sings this song too

[@laalki80]

If he hadn't changed his name, Manowar lineup would sound more like a mafia family than a band. :D

[@Tempusss19]
