VMC Georgia Satellites Concert Approx July 1983 from Video Music Channel, Atlanta

Broadcast live night only from The Center Stage Theater, W Peachtree st, Atlanta. The lineup here is Mauro Magellan on drums, Rick Richards on guitar and vocals, Dan Baird, on guitar and vocals and Dave Hewitt on bass from England! The Video Music Channel was an independent cable music service from approx 1982 to 1984, and over the air via WVEU 1984-1985. At the time, MTV had not entered the Atlanta market. The VMC was beloved locally as it was Atlanta's only source for music videos, amassing a library of over 4000 clips and a full staff of VJs and program producers. Multiple mega-selling artists visited the studios, and other interviews and concerts aired from various venues.... although now only a few tapes of these interviews survive. Many VMC video tapes had to be recorded over for reuse because the cost of broadcast tape was so high.

Are you kidding me??!!! F*cking awesome!! This is a tour de force performance! I just listened to this 5 times in a row! They obviously wanted to be on their sh*t for Dave! This takes me right back to Hedgen's, the Moonshadow, and countless other clubs where the Satellites tore the roof. Killer!!!

Why oh why dear Goddess can't we keep a band with both Dan Baird and Rick Richards in it? My favorite Atlanta band on Monday nights....

[@80macking]

Dan looks a little like George Thorogood here...

This is gold. Crazy they had all these songs way back in 83.
