The show was sometime in the summer of 1973 or '74 (guestimate) and was held on the west side of Youngstown at a small hall used for bingo. Me and a couple of friends made the 3 mile walk in the afternoon. I remember seeing Dennis T. Menass (R.I.P.) just before the show. He was sporting his signature "black-eye" that was rumored to influence Alice Cooper....Someone noticed us young 14yr old punks gawking at him and said.."He's a rock star"!!
Left End - "Spoiled Rotten" LP on POLYDOR records: had it on 8-track stereo cartridge!
Biggy Rat had a female lead singer (Shirliann Shank) that sounded like Janis Joplin. I remember them doing "I Just Want to Make Love to You". Guitar was handled by the great Jim Gustafson who would later form Poobah.
This show would be the base of a lot of shows to come.
LEFT END- "BAD TALKIN' LADY" with scenes from Idora Park (a local amusement park)
