Leonard Haze was the only drummer that really fit this band, his playing and sound was present but understated and let the band shine without drowning them out with super loud toms..he had a musical flow that complimented the whole band without being obnoxious...R.I.P Leonard!!!!
I'm a drummer and Leonard Haze was a huge influence on my playing. I think he is a very underrated rock drummer. I hole heartily agree with your comment. ✌🏼🤘🏻
I was at the Motley Crue "Home Sweet Home" video concert at Reunion Arena in Dallas Texas in 85. Y&T opened up that night. Blew the Crue off the stage! Been a fan ever since!
I was at that same show, and yes, they blew Crue right out of the building. Not even five months later Aerosmith played Reunion on the 'Done With Mirrors' tour with Y&T opening. Same result. I liked both Motley Crue & Aerosmith well enough back then, but the only reason I attended both shows was because of Y&T.
Been to a lot of shows Didn't know a lot about Y&T ended up being one of the top 2 or 3 live bands I have seen. Sound, energy, every member GREAT at what they played, Timing perfect. Band was having fun crowd was having fun. Small theatre, general admission ended up making my way third or 4th row SO much fun. Actually I think it was toss up between this show, Lita ford 2nd row, Poison at The country club in Reseda about a year before Look what the cat drug in was released. (That record was due out 8 months or so before it actually was released). and Poison/Ratt. At Ventura fair grouds. Those 4 shows were my the top 4. Wasp opening for Krokus was cool too, (my first show.. GNR ( Before live like a suicide) saw them in Bam magazine but had no clue what they sounded like, opened for Nugent was cool Nugent kicks ass. Keel, Right to Rock tour. Great times back then Sorry if anyone actually read this whole freakin thing I JUST COULDNT STOP LOL
ok the way i said it was on no. 1 so long is miss leading lol . 3 months and mtv pulled it an made a new rule after 30 days on the countdown the video was removed from eligibility on the daily call in vote line. m seemed longer back then
@@tylerkeller8869 Yes. Oakland coliseum too. Fairgrounds in San Mateo and Santa Clara. Great America parking lot before redwood theatre was constructed. The small venues like The Mystic or Fox Theatre are the best.
I was there as well. I won tickets from KRQR. opening bands were Lita Ford and Twisted Sister. Such a fantastic show! (useless facts for 100...The Venue was sometimes known as Brooks Hall and later the Bill Graham Civic.) Y&T ROCKS!!!
Yes, fairly Park was a killer experience growing up. I want to Hillview Crest elementary school . I live there pretty much all my life myself Tony Nunes and my brother Larry Nunes and my cousin Leia I grow up down the street from Eddie Ricketts Ron Forest Ron Reed Steve & Ted Herriage Bosco, Billy Prentice Rob, Marsh Jeff and Roberta Murch Andy Early Joe Jeff & John Gonzales Vince Polowski Richard Hensley Gordon & Scott Watkins Richie Keeler, so on and so forth. For Park was an amazing place to grow up and even the reunions up at Garrin Park has been pretty cool Ray Sharp also not to be forgotten. I love you Ray but yes, Warren was an amazing band growing up in Hayward to experience that was amazing itself very blessed and memories for days. please excuse any typos. If you have any questions feel free to ask are you here? Stay blessed.
What a good rock band ! I've ever never seen a man that can sing very well with good voice and can play the lead guitar very well with good tone at the same time. Unbelievable.
That was my thought when I saw them in 1985 opening for Motley Crue in Michigan. I haven't heard of them before and I was in the second or third row main floor in front of Dave Menniketti and I was blown away by his ability to sing with his eyes closed and rip a lead solo at the same time with ZERO effort involved yet so clean and powerful...he made an impact that night with me and they blew the Crue off the stage.
Cool to see all these comments praising my cousin Leonard Haze. I never met him but my dad's uncle Billy was Leonard's dad. He told me about him coming over and playing his drum set when Haze was a little kid. Absolutely shredded his kit at 12 years old. My dad still talks about it at 70 years old, dad was 15 at the time. I've seen pics of Y&T as little kids in suits with a "Yesterday And Today" banner behind them.
I went to HS with Leonard. He was a grade ahead of me and I never spoke to him but I'd always see him around. Seemed like he always had drum sticks in his hand. Years later I got to know Leonard a little bit and I was happy to see how friendly he was. He said he remembered me from HS. I'm not sure if he really did but it was a nice thing to say. When I found out how sick Leonard was it made me very sad. He was very brave to keep going when he could have given up.
That’s all amazing stuff. I love to hear the good the good stories of old times past I was born in Fremont raised in Niles Township up in Heights behind big daddy‘s ,Hayward, Union City, Newark Castro Valley, Sal Larenzo and I can tell you that one of my lifelong friends lifelong dear friends that has passed away Ruben Souza was related to Joey Alves and so I got to know Martin pretty well myself as a youngster I’m 52 and I grew up listening to YT since I was little kid and all the stories of them playing at the old barn in the Hayward Hills as well I believe right near the Hayward airport and an automotive shop by Toys “R” Us Hesperian Boulevard but there was a lot of history they were one of the best rock ‘n’ roll bands of all time without failure. Period….
@@mikepants35 I just heard from someone in Sacramento that his mother passed and they are looking for family members. Not sure how true it is or how to find out if it is.
@@tonynunes6871 going to see him tomorrow night at the cornerstone in Berkeley sold out show amazing can’t wait to hear them play again after all these years. Y&T are a top-notch band without failure?
A criminally underrated band. It's a shame their record company didn't push them as they did other acts. 'Contagious' should have been the record that catapulted them to the level of rock stardom their peers were enjoying. Their record company really dropped the ball on that one.
I like how Dave plays guitar .. old style but always stunning in 1985 full of metal heroes. No RR or VH clone, he was really old 70s school , a guarantee.
Y&T IS contagious!! I loved their hits back then!! But was mostly a Van Halen follower!! I have come back to get my Y&T education and I am passing all the classes!! Straight A’s As in kick ass! I love it!! Dave is such a fantastic musician along with the rest of the band!! Hell ya!!! Outrageous!! Badness!!🤟😎👍👏
Saw them several times in the early '80s, opening for Hagar, DIO, etc. They always put on a good show! I still have my autographed Mean Streak album from when they made an appearance at Tower Records in Sherman Oaks, Ca.
Great band. Its weird that the first band member you see enter to the stage was bassist Phil Kennemore with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. Eventually the talented bassist passed away from lung cancer at age 57 In 2011.
I just saw the new y&t this Labor Day in Orville at feather falls casino and Dave still is amazing. The band put on a 2 hour show that was none stop! Thanks for all the years of great music guys, you still rock👍
Forever a TRUE Y&T faN! Been since 76....some friend bought over that 1st alBUm.......had to back up and puNT.... GREATEST rock n roll band ... PERIOD........LEOnard haZe!!! ...Bonham probably didn't want nothing to do with haze...whole band firing on all cYClinders....on this one ....from Augusta , GEORGIA....home of THE MASTER'S JAMES BROWN.......STEVE MORSE....anD ........me.....
The 80's, best time of my life. Just wished we would have gotten more Y&T from the New York radio stations. I would have loved to have gone to one of their Cali concerts. This video is amazing!
I live 15 miles north of Petaluma and 50 from SF......Saw them dozens of time right here in their hometown...I was 18 for this particular show. Still in my top 3 of all time. Yes, I'm responding to an 8 year old post
I saw the off of Black Tiger st L'Amours in NYC...Kick ass...2.5 hr show...was a fan since Yesterday and Today...just wish they got there fair shot...Joey and Dave were tremendous with Mr Haze and Mr Phil...definitely very underrated...
They were an enigma, and the other similar bands of the time like Ratt and Night Ranger said at the time they had no idea why Y&T was not more popular than they were.
@@cyanneenjoey SF Civic Center is a small, seating capacity of 6,000. Y&T played lots of small venues in the Bay Area, like Great America amusement park and bigger places like the Cow Palace. Loved this band! They totally rocked and were a major part of my teenage soundtrack. I was lucky enough to see them live last night, Dave is still touring all of 2019 :-)
@@cookiemonster3129 they played the cow palace? i did not know that. what was the line up? i remember in late '87 the band played Henry J Kaiser in Oakland-Y&T, Ace Frehley and Faster Pussycat???
Saw Y & T a few times over here in the U.K , never disappointed because always gave a 100% performance . And most importantly still touring the U.K albeit with a new line up , Jeez I loved the Classic line up R.I.P to those who have left us .
Seen these guys so many times in the Bay Area growing up in the 80’s. Was even fortunate enough to meet the band. These guys and Gamma, another band I was lucky enough to meet, were all class acts and humble rockers! Y&T what a great rock n roll band!
@@dotvanhorn2738that would’ve been so great! I saw Montrose way back in ‘76 at Del Mar Theatre in Santa Cruz I was 16!! I’ve seen Y&T more times than I can count here in SC❤😊
Alves was a monster rhythm guitar player, Haze on the drum and of course Phil Kennemore on the bass.....well that's Y&T in the early 80's in the SF club scene.....
THIS IS WHY IIIIIIIIIIIIII FUCKIN LOVE Y & T. I remember , In 1984 OR 1985 when these fuckers came to THE EL PASO county coliseum VERY HEAVY . THANK YOU LEONARD HAZE JOEY ALVES PHIL FUCKIN KENNEMORE and DAVE MENIKETTI You guys will always be one of my FUCKINGGGGG FAVORITE HEAVY METAL BANDS OF ALL TIME
I grew up in Salinas, CA and saw Y&T 4 times at Sherwood Hall - Earthshaker, Black Tiger, Mean Streak, In Rock We Trust. Every tour their stage show got bigger and better. The sound got better too. I remember on the In Rock We Trust tour I could see the backup singers off stage singing all of the studio harmonies - it really made it sound exactly like the album! I'm not sure but I think one of the backup singers is the dude in the robot suit. :D
I saw them at Sherwood Hall many times too! Also when they opened for Sammy Hagar and after SRV at Cal Expo Racetrack...and I was at this show also! I still have my silver mylar Y&T guitar pick they gave out to the crowd. Had it signed by Dave a few years ago.
According to an interview with Lars Ulrich, he had moved to LA to focus on a tennis career. However, he saw Y&T play a show in 1980, and it inspired him to put down his tennis racket and start focusing on music. In other words, without these guys, we wouldn't have Metallica.
Being a huge fan of Y&T, when I was a Junior in high school, a buddy and I rode our motorcycles from the Bay Area to L.A. to see them play and the opener was Metallica, must have been '82. I traded lots of mix cassettes with Lars and his friend (forget his name) when I lived in Hayward and they had just moved to El Cerrito in the Bay Area. I always included Y&T in my tapes and he mentioned that they got a lot of "inspiration" from Y&T. If you listen, Mean Streak was the basis for that chromatic beginning of Master of Puppets and Rescue Me influences the beginning of Fade to Black. Both Lars and James were fans and they opened for them a few times, saw them at Day on the Green together and also Sac Memorial around New Year's in '85. Both great, great bands and still going strong!
And under-appreciated I saw Y&T and Dave meniketti at a day on the green rock festival in Oakland at a stadium in 1985 Y&T really stood out they just came out and played "Balls out Kick-Ass rock and roll!!..........Bill Graham.🤘👍✌
I usually jump on people when they use the word "underrated", because most of the time they're mentioning somebody who is not underrated but is often overlooked.... I would 100% confidence say that "y&t is an underrated band"... people shelved them in a category where they didn't belong, their record company made them wear stupid clothing, but regardless of any of it they were really good musicians and wrote good songz
YES I recorded it. still have 21 vhs tapes numbered, list of whats on them. was in high school lol at the time. good shit. My son is well should be in 10th grade now but you know homeschool right now. KIDS THESE DAYS REALLY MISSED OUT.. 80'S WAS IT. ANYWAY when I couldn't or wasn't going to put anything else on the vhs tape I recorded the color lines on tv late at night when the station closed till the tape stopped. lol first vid I ever recorded as soon as we got mtv is first vid on tape 1 acdc jailbreak.
Y&T is the typical band that never made it bigger in the 80s because they didnt have a cocky singer or didnt have a sexualized look, something that was hugely exploited by record companies in that decade, the same happened with WASP, Dokken, Quiet Riot and all those bands that were demolished by Boy bands that rose later like Bon Jovi, Europe, Poison, Warrant, Whitesnake, etc...commercially the rocking boy bands had a bigger fan base because of all the girls that ran after them. That was a smashing visual trick that record companies discovered: ' Lets use a pretty singer singing a pop ballad'. The dollars were served on the table.
Awesome band!!!! I am rediscovering them again!!! Great memories from 1984!!!! When I first heard of Y&T!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂 I was 13 years old at the time and I saw their video on MTV for "Don't Stop Running"!!!!🙂 I liked the "In Rock We Trust" album!!! Quite a lot!!! But I recently heard their early albums "Black Tiger" and "Mean Streak" it renewed my interest in Y&T!!!!☺ I only wished I could have seen them live in their 80s heyday!!!! Dave is a great singer and lead guitarist!!! He kind of reminds me of Sammy Hagar ( singing voice)!!!!🤓😀😃☺😊☺🙂
That was an awesome concert! My friend Sherri and I went and had a great time! Glad I can still watch it! RIP Sherri and all the band members who have passed. We miss you!
were there 2 shows for this vid release? is it a small registration...? normally they played ..play for more than 2 hours...counts also for the lie open fire lp.
@@cyanneenjoey i'm wondering the very same. for any of you who were at this show, can you please tell the unlucky fans what the concert line-up was? i'm going to guess this was a co-headlining gig with Twisted Sister?
I was there and it was sept 25 1984 In Rock we Trust tour. Lita Ford and Twisted Sister opened. Not 85 Down for the Count Tour. I was also at many of their final shows lol.
@@dotvanhorn2738 Day on the green was so cool. Do you remember how everyone would pound the liquor before going inside and then get sick as hell? I remember The Who and Led Zeppelin. A few others I've forgotten.
i'm glad those of you who were there are able to provide details about the gig, the era, etc. puts this show in perspective. this venue holds 7,500, which is nothing to sneeze at.
Summertime Girl is one of my favorite tracks. Great America started to have concerts and we stood out in the parking lot in a chain linked fence border. The redwood theater hadn’t been built yet. I bought the black summertime girl Tank T-shirt I wore until it literally fell off my back years later.
ya see I met this girl in the 90's and put aside all these great shows - now we're not together any more and needless to say I should have chosen to see all these great shows rather than stay with her - oh well
I remember. We only rushed to The borderline. Then we bought, some C-cassettes from J-music (Haparanda/Swe) . Some one got Y&T. An' we other were, as like that: - whut on da ze Earth..? - Gee, it was only that - mighty marvellous Y&T on early 80's..! =D
If this audio is representative of the live sound, these guys are fuckin tight. Way better than GnR live (except for 2 years 1988-1990 when they were the kings of live music).
First saw them as support to AC/DC in '82. Best serious take on everything Spinal Tap was later to satirize. Wonderful, fun stupid, great Rock and Roll Band
Underrated my ass. It’s a shame some of you think stating that horseshit somehow shows how much you loved them, but it makes you look foolish. There was nothing about them that was underrated. Musicians damn sure knew they were kings. Haze had, hands down, the best right foot in the biz. Dave’s voice, tonal quality and guitar tone are completely unique. Phil’s writing and bass playing was perfectly meshed and then Joey’s rhythm playing was thunderous, but never overdone. When Ronny Montrose speaks highly of you, you know you’re an axe master. They were a Band in the truest sense and anything, but underrated.
i love Y&T, the only bad thing on this video concert is that cameras are too much too focus in Dave , he is the frontman of course but it could have had much better prodution i think...
Great band. I saw them at least ten times before this tour. They got a little too sparkly by this point for my taste....but the industry pressured a lot of bands to do it. I was at the Sacramento show at Memorial Auditorium when Metallica and Armored Saint opened. Metallica took the night for sure, but always liked Y&T for their music too.

I'm a head-banger from the 80s turned dead head but always have a place in my heart for Y&T!!!!Hell Yah!!!!Whooooooo!yah!!!
15 year old me was there. Twisted Sister and Lita Ford opened the show.
I grew up in Salinas, CA and saw Y&T 4 times at Sherwood Hall - Earthshaker, Black Tiger, Mean Streak, In Rock We Trust. Every tour their stage show got bigger and better. The sound got better too. I remember on the In Rock We Trust tour I could see the backup singers off stage singing all of the studio harmonies - it really made it sound exactly like the album! I'm not sure but I think one of the backup singers is the dude in the robot suit. :D
I saw them at Sherwood Hall many times too! Also when they opened for Sammy Hagar and after SRV at Cal Expo Racetrack...and I was at this show also! I still have my silver mylar Y&T guitar pick they gave out to the crowd. Had it signed by Dave a few years ago.
old enough to remember seeing Y@T when they were,yesterday and today
these,those were SHOWS.
I love John5, aka,John Lowry,guitarist for the crue.
FUCK the rest of ‘em.
Damn that singer is the lead guitarist
Hell yeah. Truly he is. Dave done The giant job, as like it's done fer long. =D
They were my favorite band growing up.
Saw them twice in recent times… despite tuning a half step down… Dave sings and sounds exactly the same and Plays excellently still!!!
plays the same while fighting Cancer....
According to an interview with Lars Ulrich, he had moved to LA to focus on a tennis career. However, he saw Y&T play a show in 1980, and it inspired him to put down his tennis racket and start focusing on music.
In other words, without these guys, we wouldn't have Metallica.
Being a huge fan of Y&T, when I was a Junior in high school, a buddy and I rode our motorcycles from the Bay Area to L.A. to see them play and the opener was Metallica, must have been '82. I traded lots of mix cassettes with Lars and his friend (forget his name) when I lived in Hayward and they had just moved to El Cerrito in the Bay Area. I always included Y&T in my tapes and he mentioned that they got a lot of "inspiration" from Y&T. If you listen, Mean Streak was the basis for that chromatic beginning of Master of Puppets and Rescue Me influences the beginning of Fade to Black. Both Lars and James were fans and they opened for them a few times, saw them at Day on the Green together and also Sac Memorial around New Year's in '85. Both great, great bands and still going strong!
I was at this show... Countless shows
I was there too! Great night!!
Such a criminally underrated band
And under-appreciated I saw Y&T and Dave meniketti at a day on the green rock festival in Oakland at a stadium in 1985 Y&T really stood out they just came out and played "Balls out Kick-Ass rock and roll!!..........Bill Graham.🤘👍✌
I usually jump on people when they use the word "underrated", because most of the time they're mentioning somebody who is not underrated but is often overlooked.... I would 100% confidence say that "y&t is an underrated band"... people shelved them in a category where they didn't belong, their record company made them wear stupid clothing, but regardless of any of it they were really good musicians and wrote good songz
My first concert ever and I will never forget how amazing it was!
I saw them 9 times and was there Dave's solos we're amazing
Have this on VHS from the original MTV airing. So good!
YES I recorded it. still have 21 vhs tapes numbered, list of whats on them. was in high school lol at the time. good shit. My son is well should be in 10th grade now but you know homeschool right now. KIDS THESE DAYS REALLY MISSED OUT.. 80'S WAS IT. ANYWAY when I couldn't or wasn't going to put anything else on the vhs tape I recorded the color lines on tv late at night when the station closed till the tape stopped. lol first vid I ever recorded as soon as we got mtv is first vid on tape 1 acdc jailbreak.
Y&T is the typical band that never made it bigger in the 80s because they didnt have a cocky singer or didnt have a sexualized look, something that was hugely exploited by record companies in that decade, the same happened with WASP, Dokken, Quiet Riot and all those bands that were demolished by Boy bands that rose later like Bon Jovi, Europe, Poison, Warrant, Whitesnake, etc...commercially the rocking boy bands had a bigger fan base because of all the girls that ran after them. That was a smashing visual trick that record companies discovered: ' Lets use a pretty singer singing a pop ballad'. The dollars were served on the table.
Together we served, as fans an' audience. ;-D
HAZE!
one of the great live bands
Man.. I got this convert in Vhs! Y&T has a true Hard rock veins spirit! Dave Rockssss!
I've seen Y&T a dozen times here in Santa Cruz. I'm looking forward to seeing them again in a few months!
Yeah!! They’re coming back to the Catalyst 3/8/25!! I never miss a show here in Santa Cruz since the early 80s!❤😊
@@angeladesilva7913 I'll see you there!
Awesome band!!!! I am rediscovering them again!!! Great memories from 1984!!!! When I first heard of Y&T!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂 I was 13 years old at the time and I saw their video on MTV for "Don't Stop Running"!!!!🙂 I liked the "In Rock We Trust" album!!! Quite a lot!!! But I recently heard their early albums "Black Tiger" and "Mean Streak" it renewed my interest in Y&T!!!!☺ I only wished I could have seen them live in their 80s heyday!!!! Dave is a great singer and lead guitarist!!! He kind of reminds me of Sammy Hagar ( singing voice)!!!!🤓😀😃☺😊☺🙂
Don’t forget to listen to “Earthshaker”. That album kicks ass too!
Still kills!
Y AND T ………FUCKING AMAZING LIVE ACT!!!!!!!
Y&T's music is sounding better than ever too me lately!👍✌️❤️🤘
Saw them.open for KISS. Great show it was first time I saw them !!
YES!! Love these guys, my very first concert
The best performance of Y&T for me.
Just saw them last night in Redwood City Still amazing as ever ❤
Saw them at Hammerjacks in Baltimore in 84 I believe it was. They crushed it.
That was an awesome concert! My friend Sherri and I went and had a great time! Glad I can still watch it! RIP Sherri and all the band members who have passed. We miss you!
were there 2 shows for this vid release? is it a small registration...? normally they played ..play for more than 2 hours...counts also for the lie open fire lp.
@@cyanneenjoey i'm wondering the very same. for any of you who were at this show, can you please tell the unlucky fans what the concert line-up was?
i'm going to guess this was a co-headlining gig with Twisted Sister?
I was at that show in S.F. it was BAD ASS.
Major influences in my music style🤘
This was a fun night
I was there and it was sept 25 1984 In Rock we Trust tour. Lita Ford and Twisted Sister opened. Not 85 Down for the Count Tour.
I was also at many of their final shows lol.
I was there, also saw them at Day on the green
Lol me too to both...we should have commuted together! Lol
Of all the shows in four decades. Day on The Green always stand out. So much fun.
@@dotvanhorn2738 Day on the green was so cool. Do you remember how everyone would pound the liquor before going inside and then get sick as hell? I remember The Who and Led Zeppelin. A few others I've forgotten.
@@dangrimes5078 too young to have seen Zeppelin play. Day on the Green were always wild day of great music.
This actually 1984 the In Rock We Trust tour , they also played a bay area date in San Jose on this tour
i'm glad those of you who were there are able to provide details about the gig, the era, etc. puts this show in perspective. this venue holds 7,500, which is nothing to sneeze at.
@@javtimestwo I was there >>>>>
@@got2chews I too was there San Jose Civic Center
Y&T
(1976-1986)
Love this awesome band.
Rock n roll kings!
Cheers! 🍻
The Open Fire album is the absolute shit man..all live. I saw this band open for Motley Crue they kicked their ass.
53 now, going for 54 yrs summertime to turn. If The God gives it'n'that.
This is The Thing. The very Real Hard rockin' stu ff. It gives just some more power to go on an' survive. =D
Very noble, very American, pretty much Hard workin', verry "Mii laikii" an' a lots of it..!
Summertime Girl is one of my favorite tracks. Great America started to have concerts and we stood out in the parking lot in a chain linked fence border. The redwood theater hadn’t been built yet. I bought the black summertime girl Tank T-shirt I wore until it literally fell off my back years later.
I was in montréal opening for Motley Crue wowww good souvenirs 🤘🎼😛
Formação classica, só o vocalista ta vivo
ya see I met this girl in the 90's and put aside all these great shows - now we're not together any more and needless to say I should have chosen to see all these great shows rather than stay with her - oh well
Que gran banda infravalorada !
Awesome post. For Leonard.
Saw Y&T with Motley Crue in Boston 1985 great show and saw them again in New Hampshire 2 years ago as always great show.
Where in NH did they play?
@@mwg911hk It was just Y&t sorry about that
Tupelo hall
@@jeffphelan9565 ohhh ok. I know where that is. It's kind of like a hidden gem for musical and comedian events. I keep forgetting about that place.
great show...........
Road manager every night: "Dave, babe...whatever you do, make sure to close your eyes, clench your fist and _emote_ as often as you can".
Thankyou
I seen them at the Concord pavilion 1983 Halloween and Motley crew opened for them
I remember. We only rushed to The borderline. Then we bought, some C-cassettes from J-music (Haparanda/Swe) . Some one got Y&T. An' we other were, as like that: - whut on da ze Earth..? - Gee, it was only that - mighty marvellous Y&T on early 80's..! =D
im 55 and I was there
Léonard..Joe.. Phil...,.for ever..YandT
If this audio is representative of the live sound, these guys are fuckin tight. Way better than GnR live (except for 2 years 1988-1990 when they were the kings of live music).
Absolutely KRACKEN 👌👍🤘🤘🤘🔥
First saw them as support to AC/DC in '82. Best serious take on everything Spinal Tap was later to satirize. Wonderful, fun stupid, great Rock and Roll Band
Wowwwwwwwww
Underrated my ass. It’s a shame some of you think stating that horseshit somehow shows how much you loved them, but it makes you look foolish. There was nothing about them that was underrated. Musicians damn sure knew they were kings. Haze had, hands down, the best right foot in the biz. Dave’s voice, tonal quality and guitar tone are completely unique. Phil’s writing and bass playing was perfectly meshed and then Joey’s rhythm playing was thunderous, but never overdone. When Ronny Montrose speaks highly of you, you know you’re an axe master. They were a Band in the truest sense and anything, but underrated.
i love Y&T, the only bad thing on this video concert is that cameras are too much too focus in Dave , he is the frontman of course but it could have had much better prodution i think...
Great band. I saw them at least ten times before this tour. They got a little too sparkly by this point for my taste....but the industry pressured a lot of bands to do it. I was at the Sacramento show at Memorial Auditorium when Metallica and Armored Saint opened. Metallica took the night for sure, but always liked Y&T for their music too.
Dave had a vibrato like no other. Their timing in this set
makes your hair continually turn grey.
anyone have any info on Joey Alves' yellow flying v? i think it was a bolt on charvel.....may be wicked wrong?
Ăsta e metalu'!
