IAN HUNTER with the DAVID JOHANSEN GROUP

I was lucky enough to see Ian Hunter three times in three years. Ian was front man for Mott The Hoople and had two solo LPs by the time I picked up his third : "You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic". I won this LP off a local AM radio station. My friends & I liked it and after getting his other solo efforts...seeing him live was a must.

The first show was at the Richfield Coliseum and was on Sept. 22, 1979. They only used half of the venue to keep it more of a small hall feel. The opening act was the David Johansen Group. David was the front man for The New York Dolls. Sylvain Sylvain another ex- Doll was with David.

The next show I attended was in my hometown and had Mick Ronson on guitar. This show was at The Agora (Youngstown) which was an old vaudeville era theater that had many transformations throughout the years, starting off as The State Theater in 1927.
