I was 7 years old rocking out to Left End.. Grew up Sharon Pennsylvania. Youngstown Ohio is right across the border
My two brothers did the sound for them they were a household name in Youngstown 🎉😢❤😂😮 Great lead singer Dennis T Menace I went to his funeral a few years ago he was a Great front man
My older brother got me into their shows when I was just a teenager and I was blown away. It is the reason I started playing drums. I remember going back to the dressing room and seeing Steve spraying his hair with beer. I have an autographed album and drum sticks that mean so much to me. Dennis was a super cool guy with a stage presence like nobody else.
They are actually playing Youngstown in a couple weeks
Used to play at the Apartment on the south side blew the walls out great band didn’t get enough recognition
Man, those were the days!!!
My brother in law has a soundboard that was used at the Agora in Youngstown Ohio... I was grooving to this at 5 years old
Dennis T. Menass has passed away:
FROM WFMJ TV IN YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO
Rock music fans around the Valley and across northeast Ohio are remembering the career of singer Dennis Sesonsky, who passed away on Monday July 21, 2014.
Using the stage name Dennis T. Menass, Sesonsky was the front man for the popular local band called "Left End".
The original Left End band gained a huge following starting in the 1960's and appeared at clubs and concerts through out the region.
"He's had so many fans out there from Akron, Cleveland. They were big, they were really big around here. He was a good man, great singer," said Jon Giancola, his stepson.
One of Left End's albums even made it into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Dennis Sesonsky was 63 years old.
"Menass" I see what he did there, LOL
Hell yeah Youngstown Ohio ✌️😎👉💯⛎✝️
Hell yeah cut loose
Saw them at Woodstock...they were Incredible! Blew Country Joe and the Fish off the stage!!! YEEEEESSSS!!!
Whenever I hear this song I'm 15 again and thrilled about going to hear them play. So sorry to hear about Dennis; it doesn't seem possible that so much time has passed and he could be gone.
They use to play at the Wedgewood Bowling Alley's "Orange room" , We would kick it with them when they were setting up , i was about 13 at the time and smoked them out when ever i seen them. There was a side door to get up to the projector room of the theater which also went to the basement and a back door to the Orange room.
left end should have gone national they rocked
Youngstown Rocks!
Music Mike kicks ass!!!
Thanks for recognizing us Youngstown natives and this awesome band..Left F'n End bitches!!!...Miss ya Dennis!!!...See ya rockin on the other side brother!!!😎😎👍👍👌👌
Youngstown Rocks!
I'm from Akron, Ohio. Back in the 70's We ( my friends) used to love to follow "Left End" used to see them play a place south of Akron, Ohio called 'Aldawood Park" What great times we all had, and watching the band perform, and he crazy antics of Dennis...I remember he would be climbing the rafters and singing...Great performer and great shows. We also used to watch them play in Kent, Ohio as well. Always rocked the house. I sorry to heat he lost his battle to cancer. RIP Dennis, Rock them out in Heaven :)
I spent many a Friday & Saturday night at Filthy Mcnasty's. Great place for live rock bands, dancing, pool, hot girls and cheap 3.2 beer!
OMG ... Can't believe that i just stumbled across this video of " Bad Talking Lady " by the band Left End and what a well spoken tribute by Music Mike about them before the video played , Good Job Sir ! 😉 This is incredibly Cool becuz i always wondered what happened to this band ... They were So Awesome to see and hear in person for a 19 year old kid like me who was just out of W.T.H. school in the mid 1970's from the Westside of Cleveland , Ohio ... Anytime that they played a gig in or around the Cleveland area , i was there to catch the show becuz what a Wild A** show they would put on each time especially when it came to Mr. Dennis T. Meanass becuz he would always keep the audience wondering about what Crazy Outfit would he come out on stage wearing each time they opened up any show at any gig anywhere ... 🤔 When i saw them play at the Phantasy Night Club on Detroit Avenue in Lakewood , Ohio on November 5th ( i forget what year ) he came out in a wedding dress and the place Went Nuts ... 😲 In fact i Still have a poster promoting that Left End was coming to the Phantasy Night Club on that date still hanging on the wall of my bedroom that i took with me home after the show was over with Dennis wearing that very same wedding dress the night of that show on the poster and also when i knew that they were playing that night at the Phantasy , i brought my copy of the Spoiled Rotten album with me and the entire band was Gracious Enough to autograph the cover for me when the show was over before i left the club to go home and of which i Still have in my record collection to this very day ... One more thing before i go and that is i'm So Sorry to know that Dennis passed away in 2014 from Cancer and my condolences to the family on their loss ... R. I. P. Mr. Meanass at such an early age to go for sure ! 😢 🙏
Thank you!
Youngstown Agora was where I caught them first. Made a helluva impression on a 16 year old sneakin in with a fake ID lol. Great band.
I started at Youngstown state univ fall of 1972, so this is soundtrack of my life!!!! LOVE THIS!
You going to the concert? They play Youngstown on March 11
Wow! I didn't know that Dennis had passed away till just now. What a loss. Great vocals.
Used to go see Left End at Jacks Oddesey Room in Akron. Marshall stacks & Les Pauls.
Those guys made some great songs. I still have the album Spoiled Rotten.
Great memories.
RIP Dennis.
Brings back good memories.🤓
Use to see them at the Old Barn on South Avenue and Matthew Road
OMG- I met my husband there! Bring back those days!
Saw them @ the Lions Den and the Draught House in Akron, Oh. What a show. Spectacular! Definitely ahead of their time.
Left End was one of the first bands ever to play what was known as, "Easy Listening" music. They a retired to Tulsa in 1965.
Awesome band!! Great guys!!! I've seen them dozens of times!! My Friends, also!!
Great song
I know all those guys..I have "Spoiled Rotten" album..autographed by all of them. I used to live in Cleveland Ohio..I once went to a New Years Eve Party at Dennis's house..I haven't seen any of them in decades..they used to play the Agora..and the House of Bud on Euclid Avenue. It's great hearing this song again.
Awesome. always loved this song!
I remember them at Studio West ( in the bowling alley on 422 in Warren). Thanks Mike! Blessed BE!
seen them at Idora park when I was a teen....wow..flashback
Music Mike....very cool video and I really like a in depth research on Left End. Thanks man
Rainbow Canyon and Wild Horses both gave them a "run for their money" & Damnation of Adam Blessing kicked ALL their asses. All CLE bands.
the Arcade in Y-Town across from YSU football stadium almost every weekend for a few years , .... oh what times we had there ...Left End .. Sojourn ... Hern Bros... B.E. Taylor ..U.S. Kids ... Henry Paul Band ... hell even Black Oak Arkansas played there ....
WSRD and Dr Jerry Star , where often there for promotions ...
seems like yesterday
Yep, Philthe Stalker is correct.
Back in the '70s my buddy Ray and I went to the old Cleveland Agora, he told me of this band I got to hear. We were going thru the entrance and "Walk This Way" was rocking from the stage. My first thought was, man Aerosmith sounds better live than on 'MMS. Lo and behold I catch the band name as Left End and they're from Y'town. WOW. Great band with great original material as well. Good memories.
Fat Glenns and House of Band fav band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Id like to know who stole my Left End album when I was at Slippery Rock???

I remember Dennis T. Menace and the gang ! They would come to Greenville, Pa and play Bad Talkin’ Lady at St. Michael's Latern Hall heehee.
OMG to go back to those days !
Left End sounds a lot like FREE. alright now form 1970 or 71 I think
i was there....
I've got to smile when you say Spoiled Rotten was one of the top LPs of the 70s. I can still remember Circus Magazine's review of it "...this is punk rock minus the nk". Oh well, I bought it anyway. I thought Takin' Time was a pretty good song.
